I hope that they can put some budget on the new slides and swings for the kiddos and have proper coverage for the heat so that the kids can actually use it over the summertime . Not happy that a phone number is not listed so if you get 1 star. Over all a 3 star. If there is an upgrade on kids area/ shade then my review will go up. Please post pool time.

Most people in the South Bay are aware of the current air quality issue the City of Carson has been…read morebattling for the last few weeks (more like months, possibly.) One day, my household got a flyer saying we can stake our claim on free air purifiers as part of the battleplan to combat this current struggle. I didn't think much of it at first, that maybe it's just a ploy to make one spend more than necessary. But my housemates insisted there was nothing to lose just by going to check it out. And that's how we ended up in this park. As they got in line to make their claim, pup and I got the chance to walk around and check out the park in general. What a delight to find the entire place we scouted free of ANY clutter. Staff is really good at maintaining the place. It's so much bigger than many parks I have been to. Other than the pools, there are basketball courts and a whole field for pee-wee football (who happened to be scheduled while we were there.) I looked around for signs on whether animals are permitted or not. Didn't see one, and judging by many other pup parents coming through, it may just be allowed. On our drive home, we learned it extended across the street as well. This entire place is humongous! I can't possible call it a hidden gem as big as it is, but so glad of the discovery. Although there are other parks closer to home, I may just come by once in awhile to walk the pup, maybe read a book...

Review #845 2025-017…read more George Mannon Aquatic Center (aka Torrance Aquatic Center) opened on Saturday, 03/03/18 with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Enter on the driveway between Honda Service Center & Starbucks, the aquatic center is between Torrance Elementary School & Shery High School. Eric Trujillo, former North HS student & design committee member, designed the facility's logo; the "Shield Marquee" is displayed at the entrance. The $15M project was made possible by Bond Measure U funds (approved in 11/2014), so this state-of-the-art pool has been long awaited by the community; yeah, I voted for this, not knowing my LO will be using the aquatic center 7 years later. She made her high school's JV swim team in her freshman year for the 2024-2025 school year with swim season held between mid-02/2025 - mid-04/2025. It's awe-inspiring to watch her & teammates race in this beautiful facility! The aquatic center has a 60-meter Olympic size competition & warm-up pools (both partially heated by solar panels) with 10 competition & 12 warm-up lanes, 600-seat spectator bleachers, separate lockers for TUSD's 4 high schools (Torrance, North, South, & West HS), & visiting teams changing room. There are showers available, but I'm told they're not working. While designed to allow 2 sports to be played simultaneously, her school competition schedule has not calendared concurrent competitions. The District Aquatic Programs include both water polo & swim, but no diving, in this proper world-class competitive facility. Upon entering, the far left pool is for water polo & swim meets, with middle & right pools are for practices. I thought I saw lessons for the younger set, but I could be wrong? According to USA Swimming, Swim Torrance is a local swim club that uses GMAC for training. Her team's locker room is 1 of 2 schools that's next to the competition pool. Time pads are a bit wonky since it's been 6 years, so H relies on the volunteer timers to record her times/splits. I wished they thought of building a snack shack by the NE corner near the water fountains, instead of using tents & foldable tables to set-up the snack stand. It's extra time needed by the parent volunteers for set-up & tear-down. The parking lot ginormous & is used by the aquatic center & also the adjacent baseball field. No diamond (prime) spaces by the entrance, but the circular driveway makes it easy for drop-offs & pick-ups unless the driver just parks their car, blocking others. ＼(｀0´)／ The spectator bleachers have shade structures, but coverage is limited in the later afternoon/when the sun is setting unless you're sitting in the top/back row. We have to give props to The Plunge for their youth swim lessons to get her where she is today.

There is overhead coverage for the seating, but if it's the wrong time of day, you'll definitely be getting blasted by the sun straight in your face. We were able to get roof access to stream our event which was nice and have plenty of room for large tents, team seating and more. They also have nice meeting rooms where we tend to serve food to our athletes or hold team meetings.

Yet once you've paid, the lap lanes are first come first served. Mostly an older crowd including myself swimming here. And it gets full pretty fast. Yet there's plenty of bench seating to wait for someone to exit a lane. Which get deeper as you progress down the path. 12 feet being the deepest. Kickboards and buoys also available. Showers so far have had plenty of warm water, which is great. And the locker room area is well maintained. Urinals and sinks included. Lifeguards always on duty. So youre good.

Had I known this I would have not purchased the package swim classes and would have just opted to purchase them one at a time last year . However, as of April 2025 it seems like their website no longer allows for you to purchase one session at a time anyway. From a customer service standpoint no one reached out to us to let me know that my credits would be expiring and that I should book a class soon. So that's a bit of a turn off and a bummer. We live in Hermosa so it's a good 20-25 min drive from our house to get there each time. I'm going to have to rethink whether or not we should continue with them or just look for a closer alternative at this point, given their expiration policy. Seems like such a waste of money. As for the instructor , my daughter has the best rapport with Carissa. All of their instructors are good though.

Ah the memories I get thinking of this place. I swam here for about 6 years, I think. I actually…read morelearned how to swim by one of the instructors throwing me off the diving board. Then I joined the swim team. The coaches at this place are the best I could have had. Very effective. The pool area is... typical urban. Not a place to vacation. During open swim, kids pee, there is grease on the top of the water, and sometimes weird things are found. Like poo, twix bars thrown in to masquerade as poo, and one time a raw squid. No Joke. The locker room is smelly, and I would really avoid showering here. Park bathroom, anyone? The upside is that this place is cheap beyond cheap. 25 cents to get in for open swim, and 45 a month for swim team every day of the week for 2 hours. Nice deal

It's a lovely facility that has been kept in tip top shape. They have a variety of classes to sign your kids up for and if you're still standing you can get into a dance class too. They offer you a private trainer to try as a part of your membership. They have a walking track upstairs, there is a nutritionist on the property for consultation, they have classes and I think lunch for the elderly. When my kids were younger I practically lived at the Y because I was there 6 days a week. My kids are adults now and it's nice to be able to go to a class now for me. Membership isn't expensive either. I really am blessed to live within walking distance to my Y and it's a very nice facility.
