And while this review will focus on the pool once more, the entire complex is well put together with the exception of the available parking. Other than the olympic size pool downtown near the Coliseum, (which dates back about a century), I'd go as far as to say this is either the second or third best in the city and or county of LA system. You can purchase all kinds of passes, but you must be mindful of all the various schools, programs, and litany of classes that you will have to navigate around. And it's mentioned before, getting a parking spot is on par with winning a small lottery.

I loved swimming here! The facility is so new and clean and I can always find a lane open, and the…read moreemployees are so nice! The only thing that is good to know is that the hours for swim are a bit odd (because of classes they hold) and that you have to pay $4 in cash to enter for a day!

Well 20+ yrs later, I decided to learn to swim and had heard abt Jesse Owens offered swim lessons, so a friend and I signed up and I'm enjoying it immensely ! The staff is both friendly and knowledgeable, the class size is small and the price is affordable!!

Use your tax monies! Almost free and if you go when they open or just before closing you're good!…read moreCrowded mid day from 2-4 full of the kiddies. You can do lap swim across the pool in the deep end when the crowds are there. Water is clean cool no frills no thrills except for the diving board. Chlorine level is def high, use goggles. There is a unhoused stench that comes over the pool when the wind blows every so often likely due to the excessive number of unhoused people that populate the park regularly. Parking is easy. Public transportation takes you right here from all directions. There's a Ralph's grocery store across the street and a Bristol Farms down the street, a hotel, taco shop, Indian food, sushi, Italian and basically all you need. They are understaffed. Most places are. Par for the course these days. The woman at the front was helpful when I called and asked about hours and shared they'd be closing early. She highly recommended calling each day as hours change based on help. Tips: Cash only so bring your singles! Call ahead for hours. Enter on Lincoln only entrance and exit on the left side of the pool facing Lincoln. There's a women's shower and changing room and bathroom but it's all open nothing private. Showers have curtains but that's it. I'll be back. Thankful for the pool access amidst this heat!

I've…read moreencountered rudeness and abrupt attitudes both in person and on the phone, which has never been my experience before. It was even suggested to me that I try Venice or Mar Vista instead. They have been closed unexpectedly when the website says otherwise and when I called to confirm they were, in fact, open, the employee told me they "don't have a contract with Google" and so it wasn't her "fault I didn't call first the day before." I never said it was. I merely explained why I was calling today. It makes me sad that so many summers of great experiences with my kids are being trod on. Hopefully they're better trained at being lifeguards than they are in customer service.

This company is spiteful and has terrible customer service. Never once cared about accommodating me as a customer until i wrote a 1 star review.

Go through Ability First instead.

I had been putting off learning how to swim for years but finally decided to take the leap so I…read morecould cross a few things off my bucket list. I'm sooo glad I found Swimphi in Inglewood. I was specifically looking for private swimming lessons for adults and after doing some research online, I was really impressed with Swimphi's reputation & even happier to learn they worked with a pool right in Inglewood. So far, my experience has been everything I hoped for and more. The pool is always warm and at a really comfortable temperature, which makes it feel a lot easier to relax and focus. My instructor Marco is super patient, encouraging, and never makes me feel rushed or judged. I feel like I'm improving with every lesson which is way faster than I expected. If you're looking for adult swimming lessons in a supportive, low-pressure environment, I can't recommend Swimphi enough. It's truly been one of the best decisions I've made for myself and has shown me that it's never too late to learn. 10/10 experience - can't recommend enough!

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

Being raised on south central amongst other parts of LA I was reluctant to come here when my kids…read morespecifically requested this pool. Upon my arrival I was immediately discouraged as the graffiti markings of the neighborhood became inherently apparent. That of course is the intent of said graffiti so with that said I had the option to leave immediately but decided to stay. I told myself stay on your mark and let the kids have fun. The pools are amazing and the facilities are extremely nice. They have a very cool pool and whole bunch of things that make it more like a water park. It's also a dollar for kids to get in and 3.50 for adults. Aside from that we happened to show up at 6 at which time they have free entry. Overall it seems like fools gold based off of the other reviews and potential for danger. My experience wasn't that but I will say for the last hour the police just parked in the park and made their presence known. For me personally it's good and bad but that's my own experience with this neighborhood and LAPD.
