== Soda Aquatic Center==

The Soda Aquatic Center opened in 1999 and has three pools: a three and 1/2 foot deep pool, a diving well 10 to 13 feet deep with two 1-meter springboards and two 3-meter springboards, and a competition pool. The 50 meter by 25 yard competition pool is considered to be one of the fastest pools in the country.{{Fact|date=December 2007}}

The Soda Center is the annual host of:
*The Water Polo Premier League
*The Orinda Moraga Pool Association's Swimming Championship Meet
*The DFAL Swimming and Diving Championship Meet

Because it has one of the few 50 meter pools in the area, the Soda Center is also frequently used for [[USA Swimming]] swim meets.

The diving tank was used during the filming of the "Underwater Car" episode of [[MythBusters]] (2006).

== Music History ==
The Campolindo High School gymnasium was the location of a [[Grateful Dead]] show on May 17, 1969. A poorly recorded portion of this exists and circulates among traders of Grateful Dead Live shows.
The spring of 1969 also included a show by Santana a few months before they performed at Woodstock (with the Grateful Dead) and their first album that fall.
Other notables of that era that came to Campolindo were The Joy of Cooking and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

The cafeteria was also the location of notable early concert by the [[Dead Kennedys]], on the evening of December 19, 1978. The band, who had just made their first appearance 5 months earlier, performed under the pseudonym of "The Creamsicles". The DKs were preceded by a set by [[The Zeros (US band)|The Zeros]] and openers The Liars, a punk-pop band from Berkeley. The concert, promoted as "The Whittler's Ball", was produced by a group of Campolindo students. A recording exists of the concert.

From 1990 to 1992, a student band named Code Blue, featuring [[Sub Pop]] and [[Brushfire Records]] recording artist Zach Rogue (of [[Rogue Wave (band)|Rogue Wave]]) and Beluga Heights record label founder and hip-hop record producer [[JR Rotem]], often performed at lunchtime.

The school's main rival is Miramonte High School in the neighboring town of Orinda, though a rivalry with the great Acalanes High School in Lafayette exists as well, but they are usually too much for the Campolindo cougars to handle. Students often wear t-shirts saying "Gay Pride".

Soda Aquatic Center

The Soda Aquatic Center opened in 1999 and has three pools: a three and 1/2 foot deep pool, a diving well 10 to 13 feet deep with two 1-meter springboards and two 3-meter springboards, and a competition pool. The 50 meter by 25 yard competition pool is considered to be one of the fastest pools in the country.[citation needed]

The Soda Center is the annual host of:

  • The Water Polo Premier League
  • The Orinda Moraga Pool Association's Swimming Championship Meet
  • The DFAL Swimming and Diving Championship Meet

Because it has one of the few 50 meter pools in the area, the Soda Center is also frequently used for USA Swimming swim meets.

The diving tank was used during the filming of the "Underwater Car" episode of MythBusters (2006).

Music History

The Campolindo High School gymnasium was the location of a Grateful Dead show on May 17, 1969. A poorly recorded portion of this exists and circulates among traders of Grateful Dead Live shows. The spring of 1969 also included a show by Santana a few months before they performed at Woodstock (with the Grateful Dead) and their first album that fall.
