- Soda Aquatic Center
-
The Soda Aquatic Center opened to the public 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.
- 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 science television program Mythbusters to test the myths "Underwater Car and "Breathing Through a Tire".
- The center replaced a large blacktop area which was known by students as the "backlot," where some students (sometimes called "backlotters") would congregate in large numbers during breaks to smoke and socialize.
- 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 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) and Beluga Heights record label founder and hip-hop record producer JR Rotem, often performed at lunchtime.
- In October 1984 Eddie Money made an impromptu visit during the Campolindo Homecoming Dance. He jumped up on stage and performed "Shakin'" to the delight of all those in attendance.
- In October of 2005, The Expendables, a native band of Santa Cruz, played a local concert at the Moraga Commons for the Campolindo students and other local high schools.
