Because it has one of the few 50 meter pools in the area, the Soda Center is home to Orinda Aquatics and 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.
