    I drove an hour to bring my three kiddos swimming, only to be turned away because I was told I needed two adults. My two older children are confident, competent swimmers, so I was surprised by the policy and honestly don’t understand the purpose of having lifeguards on duty if parents are still required to provide all the supervision. The recreation schedule is also disappointing — paying for access to swim for only one hour feels pretty unreasonable. For families, I highly recommend Verdugo Hills Pool instead. You can swim for up to four hours, bring all your kids, and it’s only about a dollar per person. It’s a much more family-friendly option.

    Very disappointing experience. My 13-year-old son completed the previous swim level and moved to the next group. Due to health reasons, he missed the first class. We informed the staff in advance that he has medical conditions, including Type 1 diabetes, and is still physically adapting to training. At the next lesson, he became exhausted during the swim exercise. Instead of helping or explaining the exercise again, the instructor raised her voice and told him: “You should have attended the first class. I already explained it.” A child who misses one class for medical reasons should not be treated this way. The front desk staff were also dismissive and unhelpful. We requested either a transfer to a more suitable group or a refund, since the class format we originally registered for online was apparently not actually available. Instead of trying to help, the staff acted irritated and made us feel uncomfortable while we communicated through a translator because we are still learning English. No empathy, no professionalism, and no real attempt to resolve the issue. Very disappointed with the service and attitude overall.

    Amazing public pools in such a great location! At the far south end of the Rose Bowl Stadium parking lot, there’s two large pools and one small one. I’ve been here twice, having had an uncrowded and enjoyable time on both occasions. The pools are well maintained and while popular with a full parking lot, there still seems to be adequate space to swim! Great after taking in the local loop trails, especially in warmer weather! While in the area, kids may also enjoy going to the Pirate Park. The whole family may partake as well at the nearby Brookside Park.
