Facility Notes
When we added this pool to the site, we described it as being 20m x 40m (21.88y x 131.29f), but in May, 2022, we changed it to the 22y x 44y description shown above, based on the city website's description of the pool at that time.
Additionally, we have seen photos of the pool with 14 striped lanes one way and 7 the other, not withstanding the city's page showing it as having only 12 lanes one way and (presumably) no lanes in the other.
Facility Reviews
Situated in a beautiful setting in Balboa Park. No locks or towels are provided and lockers don’t accommodate the locks that many swimmers may bring with them, so swimmers must store their clothes on the pool deck. The locker room is open to the sky and the staff removes the bird droppings once per day. In spite of its limitations, I enjoyed the pool because of the setting. There is no public transport but there is abundant free parking.
The showers have only hot water (it’s the push-on auto-shutoff type). Since the pool is already hot (82º-83ºF), taking an even hotter shower was rough!
I don't know if it’s because of the warm sunny weather or what; everyone (staff and swimmers alike) was very friendly.
