Every pool has a capacity based on the maximum bather load set by our City of Albuquerque Pool Code. Bather Load: the maximum number of persons that may be allowed in the pool area at one time without creating undue health or safety hazards. The bather load for each pool fluctuates based on various programming and is calculated based off the surface area of available space for recreational swimming.

West Mesa Aquatic Center is the site of the City's Olympic pool on the west side of town. The Aquatic Center opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1998 and was just the indoor and outdoor slide pools; the Olympic pool was built in a later phase in 2006. The original Aquatics Center is celebrating it's 25th birthday this year! In recognition of 25 years of Aquatics programming offered to the west side community, the City of Albuquerque has invested 2 million dollars into numerous renovations to include: New paved parking lot, new play features in the outdoor pool, refurbished water slides and indoor pool play features, renovated classroom, new ADA chair lifts, new Generation 7 timing system, new LCD scoreboard, shade structures in the outdoor pool area, new THUNDERDOME, new fencing along Fortuna road, and a vast number of other facility repairs and improvements. Still to come is an updated HVAC system and automated controls; making it a City of Albuquerque smart building.
This is an excellent pool for lap swimming, recreational swimming, exercise classes, swim meets (stadium seating to accommodate 800 spectators) and other activities.
The pool can be set for eight 50-meter lanes or two dozen 25-yard lanes. The pool also has two 1-meter diving boards and a 3-meter diving board.
The pool's movable floor can be adjusted from zero- to 6-feet for various activities.
The West Mesa Aquatic Center also features an indoor recreation pool that has a massive water slide and a beach-like zero-slope design.
It is handicap accessible and is great for birthday parties.
The outdoor pool is similar to the indoor pool but larger and has two water slides.
