Small local pool in a lovely town! You can pay for drop in classes like aqua fit or water aerobics. Resident vs non resident prices. Locker room has lockers that you need to bring your own lock. You can also put your stuff outside by the pool if not in lockers. Showers indoors and outdoors. There are two RESIDENT CATS (strays) who hangout and visit here every time I go. They walk around the pool and sometimes sleep on your towel- so cute! Pool is heated but on a cold October day I still was shivering. Better in summer. Wish locker room was more updated or remodeled read more

Freezing cold pool and showers, eye-burning, over-chlorinated water, 30-minute wait for parking spot, extremely crowded, and very expensive. Save yourself the wasted effort and go to the Millbrae pool. read more

I really wanted to like this spot, but it was a letdown. The pool is outdoors, which means if it's windy, you're freezing--and the water heater didn't seem to be doing its job. The locker rooms were grimy and smelled like mildew. Also, the 'public' swim hours are incredibly restrictive if you have a job. Not worth the trip. read more

Had to go on one of the very hot Indian summer days we had in San Francisco. Loves the baby pool and going into the adult pool feels a lot like going into the ocean. Me and my kids loved it's they offer toys rubber duckies for kids to play. Such a beautiful and cozy experience. Great showers and bathroom area. Coming back next summer for sure. read more

If you're looking for a place to teach your kids to swim, save your money and look elsewhere. Avoid "the lifeguard" JOSEPH as he thinks it is ok to address a child instead of the parent if the child is supposed to be in this particular class. read more

This was my first and my last time at this pool. The stuff was very unfriendly and completely inconsistent in applying their policies, which they couldn't fully explain when questioned. I took my 2 sons (5y and 7y) swimming. We are from Central Europe, but moved to Burlingame 2 years ago. My oldest son learned swimming 3 years ago and is a very good swimmer. Just like myself (and like probably the vast majority of Europeans), he has learned, and always practiced, the breast stroke as this is the Standard in Europe . My younger son just had a couple of private lessons on our recent trip to Europe and I was practicing with him. The pool staff told me that my older son is only allowed in the shallow water because they aren't sure he can swim, which I found ridiculous as they saw him jumping in, diving etc. He wanted to go to the deep part so I asked what he has to do to prove he can swim - they said pass a swim test ie tread water for 30 seconds... I had him do it and they said it needs to be 60 seconds - he did it for 2 minutes and the life guard didn't seem to care. She said he needs to be able to swim one lap and I said a can easily swim several laps, but then she insisted it has to be free-style and since he can "only" do the breast stroke he is considered a non-swimmer. I told her that I can't do free-style either so I also would not pass the swim test then... she said that it doesn't apply to me because I'm an adult. When I asked at what age would it then not apply to him anymore she responded that it's not a matter of age, which is completely incoherent. She added that they don't have enough staff to do the test today (yet I saw two of them lounging around while one was on duty). So I had no chance to prove that my son is a swimmer, he was only allowed in the shallow part of the pool and yet I had to pay the full entrance fee. I was very upset as there was no reasonable explanation just some incoherent contradictions. I asked if my older son could go into the deep part of the pool when my younger son stays out and I'm right next to my older son in the water - the answer was NO. Then the life guard just left while I haven't finished my sentence. I noticed shortly after that in the lane next to us was a father practicing free-style with his soon in the deep water... his child could barely swim a couple of feet on his own, yet nobody told them to stay only in the shallow part. I'd advise anybody against using that pool as the rules seem to depend on the life guards mood. And if you are a strong swimmer, like my older son is, but you are just trained in the European standard swimming technique (the breast stroke), you are still considered a non-swimmer and you are not allowed in the deep part of the pool whatsoever.... Unless you are an adult, then it doesn't matter if you can swim freestyle or not... BUT they also can't tell you an age where that "testing criteria " doesn't apply anymore! Overall, a very disappointing experience for us all and I won't recommend this pool to anyone. We've been to several other pools around the area, and it was never a problem - my older son never had to take a test or was even questioned. Their rules made sense and staff didn't take a dogmatic approach. read more

Little gem hidden in the hills of Brisbane! This pool is pretty awesome for 1) being heated and 2) being open like a regular pool should be open (meaning, 10-6pm or something similar, and not those crazy city of SF pools that only open or have swim at random weird times. I will say two things about this pool: the price is steeper than SF city pools but only for non-residents (we paid $24 for 2 adults and 2 babies- and yes, they charged for the babies). And the locker rooms are GROSS! There was a bloody something in one of the showers, hair everywhere, just gross pool-ness crap on top of the normal...the restrooms are just not kept up, which sucks and turns my stomach. But it is still a relatively nice pool with a separate baby pool (which is heated nicely and the main reason why we went). And it wasn't too crowded either. Lifeguard appeared to be on tops of rules and good with keeping kids in check. There's also some tables set up under a gazebo type structure too, for parties or gatherings I definitely plan on returning, and am glad to finally have an outdoor pool that's heated near SF. read more

Since 2021 (or whenever they reopened post pandemic) the pool has been overrun with swimmers. In the summer, in particular, it has been a madhouse. Kids watching kids basically. They seem to have difficulty in finding lifeguards and the lifeguards now are all teenagers. the ratio of kids to lifeguards is too high. I just come when the kids are back in school. They are gotten alot more ppl the last few years after work. Some ppl probably took up swimming post pandemic. They need longer lap hours. Too many closures for a couple of months due to the chemical imbalances and other closures. The chlorine seem pretty strong the past few years. I can still smell the chlorine on my skin after a few days. read more

nice salt water pool friendly staff and nice quiet outdoor location. me and my family had a blast here

When:13Nov2016 Time: 13:45-15:10 My family and I first time visit this pool on 11-13-2016. I told the lifeguard two kids and one adult for the entrance fee. [$5 for Kid, $7 for Adult, which is posted on the wall and their web site too] The lifeguard, Chris***ine, ask me that is she (my wife) also going inside the pool? I told her, " yes, but she will not going to swim" Chris***ine told me that even she is not swimming and she will charge for KIDs $$ . Chris**ine told me total : $30.00 I ask Chris***ine why? Is the adult only $7 [ I also pointed my finger to the wall] Chr***ine told me this is because this SUNDAY special that why $10 per adult. After I paid her the $30 cash and I ask her to print me the receipt....... She told me that she did not know how to print out because this is a NEW system?! Why? the city didn't have enough funds to train their employees for new system? After swimming I went to ask another lifeguard about the $price$.....which is match the price on their wall and their web site: $ 7 for Adult and $5 for Kid. Now math 101 time: Q1: $10+$10+$5+$5=? Q2: $7+$5+$5+$5=? Answer: Q1=$30 Q2=$22 Now you can see how much I got rip off. Am I the only one person got rip off or someone else also? Is it really my Sunday special? In addition, if the city didn't have enough funds to train the new POS system ...will they have enough funds to recertified their lifeguard license? First aids? CPR? Be aware and good luck....... read more

Brisbane Community Pool - Swimming Pools Near Me - Brisbane, California

This place is ok. The pool was freezing when we were there and when my son and I got home, he had a 104 fever from swimming for an hour at this pool. Note: I've taken him swimming many times before and he's never gotten sick from a day at the pool. It could have been the combination of the hot weather and cold pool. He is doing better now, a day and a half later which is great. Anyway, what was REALLY an inconvenience is that they DO NOT accept credit cards and only accept CASH or checks. They don't have an ATM machine in the building and it was an absolute inconvenience that i had to drag my 3 year old back in the car to look for a bank and withdraw cash. Note to Managers: Please think about using Square so you can start accepting credit cards. I will never return to this place and there are nicer pools in the city that I would rather go. read more

This is our family's absolute FAVORITE pastime during the warmer months. Pack a picnic lunch & blanket, bring some diving toys- and you are set for the day! The pool is staffed by a super friendly, attentive crew. The facilities are squeaky clean. The 1st reviewer was right- you almost do not want to tell anyone about this piece of paradise! Now...shhhhhh! read more

$5 resident, $7 non-resident for lap use. $3.50 for kids recreation hours. One thing I like here is that it's not communal showers. They actually have shower stalls. I know for people (like me) who wants a little privacy, this is greatly appreciated. Plenty lockers too... I never wait long to get a lane, sometimes I even get the whole lane for myself. The steam coming out of the water during morning swims is just beautiful. read more

Great little community pool. Check their website for their hours for different seasons. The pool has a clean locker room with showers, lockers, changing area and bathrooms. The pool is heated year round and there are outside showers to rinse off. Plenty of lanes for lap swimmers. There is a walk-in entry for people who need it. Plenty of peddle boards and floats. The water is not overly chlorinated. read more

It is great that this pool is outdoors. It is great when it is less crowded. There are however a number of problems that despite being reported by a bunch of us repeatedly have not been addressed and they include: 1. Cleanliness: the pool has a small vacuum and it's not big enough for a pool of this size the result is normally dirt and leaves on the bottom of the pool. The locker room shower doors have mold in the locker room is not properly cleaned instead they sometimes put a chemical deodorizer in there to mask what is sometimes bad odors. The fact is the pool is not clean more than once a day And it doesn't look like it's clean once a day and that includes in the summer when it's super busy. The lanes are not labeled slow medium and fast and the result is that with no monitoring it can be very chaotic when there are a lot of swimmers. Their excuse? The swimmers wouldn't stand for it. Instead the lanes don't flow smoothly. Two. Poor Scheduling There is no reason why adult swim classes and aerobics cannot be held separate from lap swim. Adult and children's classes could surely be held in the late afternoon so that lap swimmers who need to get to work can swim at these peak times Lap swims that are scheduled as exclusive are often cut by individual swimming lessons and other events There should be extended hours throughout the year as there is great demand. read more

I brought my 10 year old son to this pool on a Saturday afternoon. After the swim, I brought my son home where he started having stomach cramps. He said there was something in the water at the pool that made him have the stomach cramps. Basically he spent the rest of the Saturday evening in the bathroom. Will not go into any more detail here. But you would think that a public swimming pool should keep its water sanitary. I brought my son to other swimming pools and never had this problem. By the way, it was only my son that was swimming and not me but yet I was also charged to enter the pool. What a rip off. read more

I shouldn't yelp about this secret, but I just have to. Guess what I have been doing 2-3 days a week during lunch in this cold foggy town? SWIMMING OUTSIDE. Wait, i know you don't believe me, but there is a community heated pool in Brisbane that is open all year round and has swimming lanes exclusively for adults at lunchtime. This is a goldmine. That's it. Go about your business. No more questions read more

I can't believe I was paying a lot of money to go to a gym with an ice-cold pool when my own town has a lovely, clean, heated-to-an-optimal-80-degree pool. What was I thinking. Now that I have come to my senses, I've been getting back into swimming. The warmer weather has made it possible to lie on the grass with a book after a tiring lap swim. When it is on the edge of warm/not warm enough, you can also lie on the concrete with a towel, which is a lot more comfortable than it sounds. The busiest times seem to be weekend afternoons, when the pool is open to both lap swimmers and recreational swimmers (and lots of young kids). Go at 4 p.m. on a weekday afternoon and you will probably have a lane to yourself. So far, everyone I've shared a lane with has been pleasant, and it hasn't been so crowded (yet) to have to do circle swimming. They have a bin full of kickboards and pull buoys which is great for warm up or working on specific strokes. Other amenities include the lockers and showers that others have mentioned. If there was a suit spinner, that would be awesome! But, alas, no place is perfect. Lastly, it is a good deal, especially if you are a Brisbane resident (a 15 swim card is $54 or $3.60 a visit) . read more

It's so near from my work place, clean, friendly nice people and not too crowd! I'll come again definitely! read more

This pool is very nice, and the water (showers too?) are partially (or fully?) heated by solar power. It's very clean and the staff is friendly. It would get 5 stars, but it gets really crowded sometimes. ... which is, I suppose, why the previous poster is angry, but I have noticed that there is a certain amount of xenophobia in Brisbane. It's like all the Republicans fled SF in 1969 and settled here... but the pool is still worth it, especially on Mondays or over the winter when the Mission pool is closed. read more

Clearly the best pool in town. Ok, you caught me, it's the only pool in town. But it's great. No membership needed. They work with a punchcard system and residents get slightly better rates than out of towners. They offer classes (water Zumba), play time for the kids, and lap swims daily. Water is warmish making it possible to swim year round. They also use salt water so limited chlorine here. Showers and locker rooms are reasonably clean. Bring a lock and you can lock your things. Plenty of parking. Great place to swim. read more

$7 for the swim. I liked how this pool office answered the phone calls whereas the other ones I called dont answer the phone but tell you to check online. The online schedule is up to date and current. Easy parking. No frills community pool. There are about 6 lanes. No swimsuit spinner/dryer. read more

Hello. I had a fairly horrific experience here yesterday. Back story: I'm 60, A grey hair, not skinny, recovering from a complicated total knee replacement. I went to the pool to walk and do exercises. I'm not a lane swimmer. I'm minding my business when I hear: "you can't do that here". I look and some young white girl is telling me what to do. No niceties, no manners whatsoever. I find a tiny corner and do my squats. There were children having lessons nearby but it was not difficult to stay out of their way. She continued commanding me to get In a lane. She reiterated when her next group of 3-4 children started their lesson My message: older people do not need to be shamed, commanded, or told that the needs of children supersede theirs in a public venue under any circumstances. I will say this was the rude behavior of one girl. The were two other girls, one the lifeguard and a male swim instructor who did not join in, though nor did they Support me . I'm just so sick of tolerating disgusting behavior from young people for the simple crime of getting old and being a woman. read more

One of the reasons I like this place is the pool has a walk in ramp which is great for my toddler and offers a shallow area where he can submerge himself without my fear of drowning. It is a pretty small pool and there is very little grass area. My only negative is the price. I am not a resident so it cost me $15 dollars for myself and my 2 year old to swim. Since my son is super duper excitable and loves the water (but can't swim although he thinks he can), we don't end up spending long periods of time because I just get tired out after a solid hour of grabbing him from underneath the water to make sure he can breath. He loves to jump and is pretty strong so it ends up being a battle of wills. I wish they had an hourly rate for those of us that want to come in for a little while, not the entire day. I also think it is pretty bogus to charge for under 3. I can see utilizing this pool when my son is older and can swim. Note, it gets super packed during regular swim hours because it is so small so if you have a child like me who can't swim, it gets sketchy with the other kids splashing, jumping in and playing to the point safety becomes an issue. We had to leave because we literally had no space for me to safely grab my son. read more

Swimming has been me exercise of choice for the last 20 years and I take my routine seriously. I just relocated from Oakland to South San Francisco and after swimming at Temescal and YMCA Oakland for the last year (a not very pleasant experience), to my surprise, I must say that Brisbane Community Pool is a hidden jewel. Pros : very clean (pool and lockers), beautiful surroundings, perfect temperature (still refreshing after 80 laps), reasonably priced, great parking area. Cons (only one) : the pool is slightly sort (If you are into lap swimming). I believe is around 20-22 meters. read more

On one of the hottest days of the year and there was a waitlist to get in. NOT because the pool was overcrowded but because they were understaffed. An employee told me that was the reason and once we finally got in after waiting for 40 mins with 3 toddlers, I could see for myself that the pool was not at all overcrowded. How unorganized do they have to be to not have staffing for a hot Saturday afternoon? They have also clearly not spent any of their overpriced attendance money on cleaning their locker rooms or restrooms. At least an inch of muddy gross water on all the floors and none of the women's restroom stalls had toilet paper. But the cherry on top was that once we finally got the kids in the water and were having a good time, the lifeguards call for a 17 MINUTE adult swim!! Talk about random, excessive, and unnecessary. There might have been 3 people left in the pool during the 17 minute "adult swim." read more

I took my boys to their first swim lesson at the Brisbane Pool and love it!!! The pool is larger than I expected, clean, and had many amenities including separate locker rooms, showers (both in and outdoors), changing rooms, lockers (both in and outdoors), picnic tables and a lawn area. I also love the how there's a walkway to enter the shallow side of the pool rather than steps. It helps out when teaching infants and toddlers how to adjust to the water. The price for the Spring session of swim classes was $33 for residents. The only thing I wish is that the Brisbane pool had better protection from the wind. When the wind kicks it, it is brutal for my little guys. read more

I've been to this pool many times. It's very clean, and well maintained. Very attentive young fun staff. Events are so much fun like movie night & pumpkin patch! I've seen on many occasions where young kids have had accidents & the guards go in right away. I love that they have a baby pool & heated pool! read more

Outdoor pool to keep me tannedddddddd. The water is extremely bleached, and will leave u with a smell even after a long shower. The prices are really reasonable. It does have peak hours especially during the summer. read more

Lovely quiet community pool. Reasonable prices and clean no frills pool. The only reason this review is not five stars is that the women's locker room becomes filthy and requires a request for cleaning before it gets taken care of. Also the soap dispensers, shower stall locks and toilets (over flushing) will break and not be tended to for months. Otherwise a great place for lap swim and open rec swimming! read more

Over all a nice pool facility. To bad they had to raise their fees. Clean bathrooms and dressing rooms. Parking can be hard to find as there is limited parking out front. Will go back with the family. kids had a great time. read more

This place does not know the meaning of customer service. Management needs to retrain staff on how to treat their patrons. My 9 year old daughter came here w/her 10 year old friends and they were harassed by the staff the entire time. There was ONE misunderstanding with the kids misbehaving but how hard is it to simply address the matter and move on? The staff were treating my daughter and her friends like some murderers and stared them down the entire time. I'd understand if the kids kept acting up but they simply stayed quiet in a little huddle the whole time while staff kept picking on them saying "don't talk about us, we don't have time for your games"?!?? Instead of picking on 3 little girls who were quietly in a huddle, they should of been doing their jobs monitoring the safety of the entire pool. read more

This pool was really dirty and the showers were pretty filthy as well. The staff was also kind of rude. There was a teenage boy with long black hair working on Monday afternoon and he was extremely rude to the kids at the pool. I also found loose hair in the water while we were swimming, pretty disgusting. I would not recommend this pool to anyone. read more

Took advantage of my day off and took my son here for lap swim. This was my first time here and I like this place. It was super clean and the pool was heated to a nice warm temp. The cost is $7 for adults and $5 for kids if you're not a resident of Brisbane. A decent price to pay. They have several classes to offer as well. It was nice to see the water aerobics class going on while swimming. The music made it more enjoyable. I will definitely return. read more

The lap swim hours are posted as 6:30 a.m. on weekdays. Too often, the staff does not open the pool until 7:00 a.m. or later due to "problems." Most people wait for a while outside the locked doors until they give up and go home. They need to address their staffing problems or change the hours. It's frustrating to stand around and wait for the staff to open the doors when they finally get themselves together. read more

Brisbane pool is fun. I like sending my kids there for swim lessons. It has shade, grass and seats. They don't have any food so bring some. They have a big pool with a sloped beach like entrance (the kids love it) they have a big shallow end for little kids and a deep end for older kids and adults. They have lifeguards and lockers. They also have showers and bathrooms. The only flaw is that they don't have changing rooms and you have to change with everyone. over all Brisbane pool is fun! read more

Great place to get some sun and swimming just outside the San Francisco fog bank!

Brisbane has one of the few outdoor pools I've found in the SF area. It's a nice, clean pool that gets a good amount of sunshine. I love being outside when I swim but it can get freezing with the wind and a wet swimsuit. I do adult lap swimming here in the afternoons. Get here as soon as they open because the pool gets crouded and you will quickly be sharing a lane. Lap swim times change throughout the year so check their website. $7 per swim for non-Brisbane residents. Kind of steep but I bought a 15 punch card for $70. Locker rooms are pretty gross, wear flip-flops. read more

Glad it costs more for non-residents. Residents should get priority as their tax dollars fund the pool and it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Staff is incredibly friendly. read more

Many years ago, I used to drive here from SF to swim on weekday evenings, and more recently have been taking my toddler to swim lessons on weekends this summer.Pretty decent pool overall, but you get what you pay for. As others have mentioned, the changing rooms do need to be cleaned a bit more, and the lifeguards and staff are mostly high school kids. So I try to give them a pass as they are still learning, but it is trying at times as they are not super clued-in on the needs of small children. I took another star off for the lack of an updated schedule (on a few occasions, I've checked online, called a few times but no one answered phone and eventually driven out to only find they have cancelled their preschool swim). Also keep in mind, it is an outdoor pool, so If your little one is just starting to learn, it might be a good idea to start at an indoor pool that is warmer - but every kid is different. Baby pool is almost never open, and no signs or schedule to be found anywhere. My experience - if you do venture in (because it looks open, no signs saying otherwise etc), you may get rudely told by lifeguard to get out and they don't care if your child freezes while waiting for the class to (hopefully) begin. Will stand there and continue to parrot the rules hey have been trained in without actually listening to the patron trying to ask them a question. Long story short, my takeaway is that they are still too young to think outside the box, so I may avoid this facility until my children are older. read more
