On May 25, Joseph Centeno Aquatics Complex was pleased to dedicate this beautiful Douglas Lochner relief sculpture on its outer west wall just in time to kick off its summer swim season. Titled “Let’s Swim/Vamos a Nadar,” the sculpture is 18 feet long and backlit by low-voltage LED lights. Lochner’s submission was chosen by a panel of judges, and funded through the County Percent for Art project–an initiative that allows 1% of construction costs from the general fund to be dedicated to the installation of art in public buildings. With its playful and sleek design, this sculpture is sure to delight all who see it.
