Parent & Tot Swim Lessons I signed my daughter and I up for parent and tot swim lessons. Last year they were so great so we signed up again. I have no idea what happened with the staff or how they operate the lessons but this year it felt like a waste of time. The instructor told us what we would work on and spent the rest of the time talking to her coworker or one particular father. It felt like they were facilitators and no actual instruction or involvement with the kids. Do not recommend the lessons at all anymore. We were very disappointed read more

Eagle Park Pool is an outdoor, community pool, owned by the city of Mountain View. It's affordable, fairly clean, and they are open all year round. They have showers and lockers indoors, bring your own lock. It can get crowded on weekend mornings, most of the lap swimmers split the lanes. This is a great place to take the adult Tri-Fit Aquatic classes, it's like water aerobics meets interval training with different types of underwater weights, an underwater bicycle and an underwater elliptical machine. If you have any injuries and/or overweight, aquatic exercise is a great way to work out with low impact to the joints. These classes are offered year round, however the pool is outdoors and it gets really cold in winter (despite being a heated pool). Sometimes the water temperature is not consistent and occasionally the heater breaks. Two improvements that would be appreciated - add a swimsuit wringer machine and add an indoor community pool to Mountain View for winter-time use during the rainy season. There are many RVs parked around Eagle Park because they have a public bathroom and BBQs. This community pool offers a fundraising donation bin for our homeless neighbors to have access to the showers, I think that is fantastic and shows genuine care for our community as a whole. read more

Eagle Park Pool - Pool entrance just past the veterans memorial - Swimming Pools Near Me - Mountain View, California

Awesome lap pool! Signing up and buying day passes on their website is pretty straightforward. I wish they provided soap and shampoo in their showers. read more

I went here for the first time today for recreational swim and I had an excellent experience. The recreational swim area is great for kids, beginners, cardio, those in training and lap swim lanes are good for moderate to advanced swimmers. There is a pace clock and diving boards for lap swim. Just FYI the recreational swim and lap swim have different hours. The facility offers seasonal membership plans will be a good deal for regular swimmers, the recreational swim area is only open in the summer. Families and kids and summer school programs can make great use of the facility. There was plenty of lifeguards on duty and helpful staff and clean good shower changing rooms the pool was a good temperature. Certainly an asset for the City of Mountain View. They do hold events like Friday night family party themed nights. Highly recommended. read more

Eagle Park Pool - Really clean and good shower changing lockers and restroom areas. - Swimming Pools Near Me - Mountain View, California

See all

We just rented the eagle park pool for a class party and it was amazing! The 3-4feet pool was perfect for kids and a great size for everyone to have fun. Proficient swimmers were allowed to swim in the lap pool which meant even parents got to swim! The pool was heated perfectly at 78-80F and lifeguards on duty did a great job keeping all the kids safe. Picnic tables are a little bit on the older side but they worked fine. We all brought picnic blankets to lay our stuff out. It was an amazing afternoon! read more

Eagle Park Pool - Kids pool - Swimming Pools Near Me - Mountain View, California

Ease of use, no reservation required for lap swimming ! Standard drop in fee ($7). Very clean locker room, shower & pool !

Lifeguards Olivia, Natalia and a tall young male lifeguard went out of their way, beyond call of duty to help me. On the other hand, I wish the city of Mt View will follow the science and let 3 or more people to swim per lane. It's stupid of them to restrict the pool lane to only one swimmer per lane. No one catches covid in swimming pool full of chlorinated water. read more

Clean pool with lifeguards, great price for families. If you plan on going often the membership is a good deal.

I've been dreaming of a community outdoor pool like this and can't believe its so close to my house and priced accessibly! Lanes are long and perfect for those training for triathlons and there is a separate smaller pool for those who want to do aerobic exercises. I would say its quite crowded during lap swim hours and I have had to split a lane and even circle swim a few times. Perhaps expanding the lap swim hours would alleviate this but I am not attune to what other programs go on as I only participate in lap swim. Another suggestion would be to put in a swimsuit wringer machine. It would increase my (and others from what I've seen in reviews!) satisfaction two fold with this facility. Staff is very nice and for a city pool very clean. If you are a resident you can get a small discount on the 25 pack of swims and can use the swipe on a friend. read more

i wanted to meet with a friend to swim and was searching for a venue that was equidistant between sj & rwc. fortunately, i found this community pool just steps from downtown mtn view. the pool is located inside eagle park, a popular place for kids and families to gather for recreation and picnics. there are 2 large pools, one with shallower dimensions (max 4 1/2 ft) and a deeper pool (max 12 ft), both suitable for lap swimmers. i believe instruction takes place in the shallower pool. winter & spring pool hours: m-f 1045-1300 and 1830-2030 sa & su 0900-1145 summer pool hours: m-f 1030-1330 and 1800-200 sa & su 0900-1200 there are kickboards and pull buoys available for swimmers to use. the locker rooms have day lockers to use (bring your own lock), communal showers, sinks and toilets. i thought the women's locker room was quite clean and well kept, as compared to other community pools. if you're comfortable, you can also leave your belongings out on the pool deck since there are some ledges poolside, visible from where you swim. i haven't had a problem with theft since i've been coming here. pricing: mv residents $5 non-mv residents $6 parking is free in the two dedicated parking lots for eagle park, and you can also park along the street if these lots are full. great location and facility, highly recommended for those who wish to have a place to swim laps! read more

Amazing community pool. Also very affordable. Yeah, schedule is weird and it gets busy on summer even at the day time. Also it operates at shorter hours in summer time which obviously doesn't help with the crowds. It's heated hence you can go there all year around. But water temperature is not perfectly consistent - some days it makes you swim faster (esp at the beginning of the work out). Been there more than hundred times and will keep it up. read more

Beautiful pool. Eight 25 yard/meter (depending on season) lanes, and 4 or 5 (again depending on season) shorter lanes. The facility is nice and well maintained. The guards are friendly and helpful. Lap swimmers are polite and work with each other. Down sides: the bulkhead is slippery and the hours are limited. read more

Eagle Park Pool - Swimming Pools Near Me - Mountain View, California

It's HOT. The Beijing Olympics are well underway and I've been fully inspired by all the swimmers to do me some laps. So I strolled over to the Mountain View City Hall and purchased my lap-swim pass to access the Eagle Park Swimming Pool. It was super easy, and the attendant was kind and helpful. $48.75 pays for 25 swims for a non-resident of Mountain View. 2 stars. The facilities are clean and apparently recently renovated. Changing rooms have benches, showers, bathrooms, lockers, and plenty of space. Swimming lanes are clearly marked for slow, medium or fast swimmers. Kickboards, buoys and flippers are available for people who want to concentrate on strokes or kicks. 2 stars. The one thing that irked me, however, was the fact that the pool is cut off in the middle with a platform!! Having competed before, I was bummed enough that there aren't many Olympic length pools around. AND THEN, they stick a big phat walking platform in the middle so that you're not even swimming 25 meters! So much for lap swimming. You end up kicking off more than you're actually swimming. And at times, the pool can get pretty crowded for the limited hours that it's open. So, small pool + lots of people = serious sardine action. Minus 2 stars. Well, the pool is within walking distance from my work and the facilities are decent, so I'll stop complaining and just keep swimming. Plus 1 star. read more

Great well-maintained facility with a multi-use pool: 3' end for beginners, 12' end for diving off the diving board in rec swim hours. Always well-staffed with lots of lifeguards who rotate regularly. The locker rooms have been recently remodeled, with new paint and showerheads and everything. It's well-ventilated and doesn't get stuffy in there with everyone showering. It's also one of the least expensive pools in the area, given both the multi-use never-expiring pass (the lifeguard who sold it to me said they occasionally see passes from 1985 or something!) and the Mountain View resident discount. The pool area itself is surrounded by trees around the perimeter fence, giving it more privacy and also some nice greenery to spot yourself with if you're doing the backstroke in the shallow short-course end. ("I see trees! Time to flip over!" - this has saved my poor noggin quite a few bashings.) Car/bike parking is also always easy to find in the Eagle Park lot and on the bike rack to the left of the main entrance. My only gripe is with the lack of a swimsuit water extractor on the premises - one of those spinny machines where you press the top down and it centrifuges the water out your suit for you. Lack of one means a lot of wringing and lugging around a soaking wet swimsuit, or coming up with creative ways to hang it inside my car while I'm off running an errand or meeting up with friends on Castro St afterwards. The day they install one is the day I edit this review to a full five stars. :) read more

If you plan to go swim often, I recommend buying punch passes. I have been going here many times now, and it is good for a workout session. Plenty of lanes available, including the other end of the pool with shorter lengths too! Kicking boards and booeys(sp?!) are available for your swimming workouts. The pool has always been clean everytime I go there. It is very spacious and has grassy area to tan during public pool hours. If you are bored, the park is right outside also, with basketball/soccer/picnic area to enjoy! Even better yet, Castro street is right next door!!!!!!!!!! Parking is limited but there are street parking available along the curb. The staff was nice enough to let me use their phone since my cell phone ran out of battery! I just went here tonight and boy, I feel satisfied that I only had to split the lane with one other person the whole entire time!! read more

Great pool, very well-kept facilities. Lots of lanes for people of different speeds. You can buy a 25 swim pass and save a little bit (though not a ton) of money. The staff who work are all really nice, though the lifeguards are pretty young. They also have equipment you can use, like the board things. The pool water has never irritated my skin, unlike other pools. I do not hesitate to give this pool 5 stars. It really is the best pool I've ever been to! read more

This is a beautiful, warm, clean pool. I can't fault it in any way. It's more of a destination pool than others because the swimming area is almost totally encircled with lawn and trees. It's a great place to stretch out and read in between swims. I even did my exercises on the lawn. The outer area is a lovely park with unusual statues, for photo ops. Since the pool is nestled in a residential area, it's nice and quiet. Call ahead to find exact pricing and hours. Wish it were closer, but it's worth going out of one's way for. The staff at the counter are very friendly. So much about choosing a pool depends on what's open, but all things being equal, this is my favorite local pool. read more

Just recently started getting in to lap swimming using the shallow pool. Clean well maintained locker room facility and pools. LIfe guard staff are a young healthy crew. They seem to work on a rotation system at the various stations (door check in, 2 stations at shallow pool, 2 stations at deep pool. It seems that they rotate stations every 15 minutes, which I think is good and probably helps keep them more alert and not bored due to a frequent rotation. I have been lap swimming for awhile now and I am happy to report that I have not ever seen any of the staff on iPods, cell phones or texting or with ear phones hanging out of their ears. It is good to know that they understand the level of responsibility and expectations that are upon them to care enough about me to keep their noses forward and not pointing down in to an inanimate object. Thanks Eagle Park Life Guards for keeping your eyes, ears and attention on us. You guys & gals are definitely on point! read more

This is actually much nicer than most public pools I've visited. Locker room had showers., bathroom and a changing area (with lockers, nice). The crowd wasn't too bad for open swim either. Lifeguards seemed kind of hard core (like power thirsty teens) but I'm not judging, they are responsible for the safety of 20 or so people. Not a bad place to go. One of the few bummers was that there is a $3 spectator fee, as in you need to pay to even enter the pool area let alone the $5 swim fee. Seemed like a quick and annoying way to make money to me. OH, and don't sit on the picnic benches... splinters GALORE! Other than that, not too bad. read more

Love swimming here. Heated pool, acceptable shower room and if you schedule your visit just right you'll only share a lane with one or two people. Or all to yourself for a few minutes if you're lucky. The only thing that would make this place better is if they had longer hours. read more

If you want a real swim workout, you won't be able to get one here. Swimmers ignore lane designations (slow, medium, fast), and the facility does not encourage swimmers to follow the guidelines. It's also crowded when I go with 3 swimmers per lane. Having 3 swimmers per lane and a slow swimmer in each lane makes it impossible to do any intervals. And even for long swims, swimmers are too slow. I'm not even a competitive or fast swimmer. I'm just a triathlete on the slow side (2:00 min for 100 yd interval). On the rare occasion that fewer swimmers show so that there are only 2 swimmers per lane, I can actually do a real workout. But such is rare. read more

I'm a lap swimmer so my review is from this perspective. It's a beautiful warm clean outdoor pool that has huge gutters surrounding it. This keeps the wave chop at a minimum. Depending on the time of day, you will need to share a lane but there are times you get the entire lane to yourself. Compared to the 24 Hr Fitness's gym I belong to (California St), this pool is fantastic! Not to mention the locker room and showers are clean and up-to-date. A major incentive to go to Eagle Park Pool vs. my gym. Everyone is friendly and they have real life guards. My gym has no life guards (cameras) but I'm sure they would fish you out after 5-10 minutes. The only drawback is the limited hours hence the 4 star rating. Wish lap swimming started at 6:00 AM but I can live with 10:30 AM. read more

I enjoy this pool a lot. They keep it maintained at a surprisingly warm temperature, which makes early morning swim practice a delight. The locker rooms are excellent and I don't feel like I'm going to get athlete's foot using the showers 8 lanes, 25 yards (25 meters during summer), and another pool ~4 lanes, 20 yards. I wish the hours were better, even during the summer. If you're not a part of the not-so-good Master's team here, your lap swimming time is going to be very limited. But that's more of the city's issue than the pool's. read more

This pool is interesting...no lawn chairs, no concession stand, but super clean. The place looks pristine. The only downside is that they charge you $4 to swim. I noticed the lifeguards were very attentive and all wore shirts, fanny packs, have floating devices, and straw hats with sunglasses. It was your typical public pool...a bunch of little kids running around. The only downside for me what the grass was tickling my leg and it became really annoying. I also got a little hungry and had nowhere to buy food...that $4 could have come in handy. I want to give a 3 for these misses, but for the casual chill person, it will suffice. read more

Eagle Park Pool - No lawn chairs. No concession stand. Child please.... - Swimming Pools Near Me - Mountain View, California

Just moved to the area and was looking for a good outdoor pool to do lap swim. This pool was pretty well kept for what I expected of a public pool. It was clean, the people working and swimming were very friendly, and they provided kick boards and pull buoys that were in pretty good condition. Definitely worth the entry fees. Haven't been to Rengstorff pool yet, but I think I'll stick to this one. Only thing I would say against it: I wish it were open a bit earlier for the option of an early morning workout, but it's hardly a deal breaker. read more

This beautiful pool and facility is well maintained and has a great locker room area. We were grateful to have it five minutes from our house during the weekend heatwave. The entire family enjoyed cooling off! The only thing I don't appreciate about this pool is the policy to empty it of everyone under 18 every 90 minutes! This obnoxious announcement goes out declaring it time for a 15-minute "adult swim" and ordering all under 18 to go to their towels. Now if you bring kids to a pool let's face it, if they have to get out so do you. For the longest and hottest 15 minutes of my life I contended with two long faced kids while less than a dozen obese adults bobbed in the deep end of the pool --- they didn't even ever break into a swim! Approximately 20 kids stared longingly into the cool emptiness of the 31/2 foot deep pool the whole time while their parents complained aloud about this unbelievable rule! I asked three life guards why this rule exists and two simply said, "It's just our policy!" and shrugged their shoulders. The third life guard stated that the rule exists to make sure children routinely rest for a few minutes and some of the life guards get a bathroom break. Now that makes sense! It also might be better received if positioned as a "rest break" not the adult reprieve from ankle bitters that it feels like now! read more

Eagle Park Pool - Swimming Pools Near Me - Mountain View, California

I heart Eagle Pool. It's conveniently located, clean, and cheap ($2.75 for Mountain View residents, $3.75 for outsiders, but they don't ask for any proof of residence so follow your conscience). Easy street parking, nice locker rooms, free kickboards, buoys, and other assorted goodies. Yes, the pool is a bit on the short side, but hey, so am I so I can't really complain. And I stink at flip turns so it's nice to have the practice, despite the fact that I waterboard myself half the time. I can imagine it would get crowded at peak hours, but it still seems manageable enough. And it's less of a scene than Rinconada Pool in Palo Alto. Just good old fashioned swimmin'. read more

This is the only affordable option I've found which is even remotely on my commute home. I am a fast swimmer, and they have dedicated lanes for different speeds which is AWESOME. The only thing which is not awesome is the pool really is too hot (80-82 degrees F). That alone would prevent me from going here if I had another good option. read more

My review for lap swimming at Eagle Park. Even in the coldest evening hours in January, Eagle Park pool is fun to swim at. During this time I wouldn't claim that the water feels tropical, but it is warm enough for a weather wimp, like me to lap swim. The pool and locker rooms are clean and comfortable. I think that the lap swim prices are a tiny bit steep, but acceptable. I do wish that they had one of those swimsuit dryers that many other pools in affluent neighborhoods have. read more

The pool is outdoor, it's clean, the people are friendly and committed to swimming. I should mention, I do the lap swim at mid-day, Monday through Friday. Usually not too crowded when I go. Usually split a lane with another swimmer, sometimes a lane all to myself. I went one time after work for lap swim, and it was crowded as hell. Like the Nimitz at rush hour. And by the way, the weather is typically great. I get a non-resident swim pass, and I think it's about 5 bucks a swim, and I can live with that, pretty good value. read more

I started to play underwater rugby in this pool more than a year ago. It's an awesome pool for the sport, the lights give enough brightness under water, the fresh air helps you refill oxygen very quickly and dimensions are the pool are perfect for a fast-paced 6-vs-6 game. I wish the clarity of water and the bottom would be always superb, but that doesn't make me feel to lower my 5* rating. In 2016 we played only on Tuesdays, but since beginning of 2017 you can find us on Thursdays as well. More info about our team: http://sfuwr.org . read more

Great pool, $5 lane swimming if you are a resident of Mountain View. I had to share a lane with three different people but there were still open lanes on a Tuesday night. Pool seems kind of old compared to the one at my College but it is being renovated this September so that should help. I liked the outdoor swimming aspect and the facilities were decent. Also it is really hard to get out of the deep end because the sides are so high up. Two lifeguards were on duty for safety, there were some strong swimmers and a few people who only stayed for a 15 minute workout. read more

Beautiful pool. Can get crowded I heard but the pool is clean and sooo comfortable to swim in!

Great pool. I buy the pass as I go regularly here. Very good for lap swimming.

The pool has everything going for it: location, clean and maintained locker room and the pool itself, parking, proximity to El Camino Real and MV Downtown. The staff is courteous and friendly. They do not check for residency proof, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. : ) There are more lanes than the Rengstorff pool and locker room is much better. I go there on a daily basis for my lap swim and get lane space easily. Recommended for any one looking for lap swim and a clean facility. read more

Hotter than Haties today and the pool isn't open except to lap swimming. When we taxpayers financially supported building Eagle park pool, it was not in the decision that the "COMMUNITY AT LARGE" would only be allowed limited summer swimming hours and only in what the rec department or city defines as summer hours, generally 4 hours per day. To boot, the fee is $3 to swim and $3 or $3.50 as a spectator! Really, how UNFAIR to families and children. Arrogant would be my perspective! read more

Great clean pool. I go here in the summer when it is sunny and warm (but foggy and cool in SF). I highly recommend this pool.

Great pool! I swim with Mountain View Masters, so I'm there all the time. Nice clean shower facilities, and they keep the pool a great lap-swimming temperature. read more

Clean locker rooms, inexpensive lap swimming, free use of kick boards, the staff are always friendly. Rarely have to circle swim on weekdays. Be aware of the lane speeds marked on the flags (faster at center of the pool). Also be careful which lane you choose as sometimes people are in the fast or medium lane going slow. The same is true of fast people in the slow lane. read more
