    Great set up for swim meets. One of the best facilities around. Really good coordination for large meets

    Great place to take small kids especially toddlers. Food was good. Parking was free and lots of it…read more Tickets are cheap. Not too many people. Only negative they need more floating donuts to float on the river or at least allow us to bring our own floating donuts.

    What exactly am I paying for?…read more Seriously. I purchased a membership for lap swimming, but the reality is that members are constantly competing for access to THREE lanes. Not an entire pool. Three lanes. And apparently the expectation is that up to FOUR adults can share a single lane. Four. There was a day when a third person joined my lane and that was RIDICULOUS. Four people sharing one lap lane is not a quality swimming experience. It's overcrowding disguised as a membership benefit. Then there are the limited hours. Which I was initially fine with until everything else. There are the swim lessons and you will be removed from a lane if the instructor needs the lane you are already in. Then there is the jacuzzi, which seems to spend more time closed than open. I swim three times a week and I honestly can't remember the last time it was available. At this point, why advertise it as an amenity at all? And today I find... the facility is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a swim meet. The only notice given was a piece of paper taped to the door. A piece of paper. In 2026. Members provide phone numbers and email addresses when signing up. Why collect that information if you're not going to communicate closures that eliminate nearly half a week's worth of access? No email. No text. No notification. Just drive over and find out when you get there. The most frustrating part is that none of these issues exist by themselves. It's the combination of all of them. Limited hours. Limited lanes. Overcrowded lanes. Frequent jacuzzi closures. Priority given elsewhere. Unexpected facility closures. Poor communication. Yet the membership price suggests you're paying for a premium aquatic facility. You're not. For less money, I can join a gym with a lap pool, a functioning jacuzzi, longer operating hours, fitness equipment, and significantly better availability. City of La Mirada wants to charge premium membership fees while delivering a consistently limited experience. The entire operation feels incredibly cheap. Cheap communication. Cheap availability. Cheap member accommodations. But somehow not cheap membership prices. If members are expected to share three overcrowded lanes, lose access for entire weekends, receive no meaningful communication, and watch amenities remain closed for weeks at a time, then management needs to answer a very simple question: What exactly are we paying for?

    Swim teachers are great. I have no issues with them. However, their system and structure is awful…read more I bought the bulk lessons that you can use within the year versus their memberships option. Come a year later, I have been auto charged for lessons that I never agreed to. When I called to inquire about these charges they said it was because I had a lesson that had not been paid for within 8 days so they automatically purchase on your behalf. That's funny because I still have 6 paid lessons that I have to use. Secondly, they set me up for reoccurring lessons for one of my daughters without my approval. I have never signed up for reoccurring lessons and now I have to reach out to them to cancel because they warned me that if I don't pay for these in time they will automatically charge me again. So, now I have to contact customer service twice to fix things that I never agreed upon or approved or signed up for. What a waste of time and energy. Lastly, I was never planning on renewing lessons due to the fact that they do not have lesson slot availabilities for what I need. They hold lesson availabilities and prioritize times for private and semi-private in a group. So, when I want to use my semi-private lessons and do not have a group designated to that, my availability reduces drastically and I am not able to get the times that work for me. In addition, you are not able to use the gym's locker room facilities to shower, change or hold your belongings. You are supposed to share a one person public shower and change in small pop-ups where the floor is wet and you don't have anything to hang your items on and you are dealing with small children. They even frown upon you if you need to use the restrooms. This does not work for me. This is not sanitary and not convenient by any means.

I have a 11 year old autistic son who loves to swim, who has been swimming since the age of 4. Who Passes swim test at others local pools like the Whittier Aquatic center & Palm park pool. There swim test policy is confusing to an experienced special needs child swimmer. It doesn't help that they blare loud music, while he does a swim test and can't pass with all the distractions! Payment system is also slow and ridiculous, need to update for a card scanner or tap to pay. They manually have to type in credit card number into payment system, had to wait while they were manually entering my credit card , While my autistic son elopes and runs into the pool without our supervision. Wouldn't recommend for any families with special needs children!

With a mother with son of needs, it's outrages that they seen me have him in a swim suit and tell me to wait till they open the pool at a certain time. I waited patiently, and then I return and proceed to tell me the kids are not allowed in yet and do not open to much later. Had me wait a whole 30 mins, when they clearly all seen him in his swim wear. So inhumane. People need to be more mindful of others and stop being in chisme !

Coach Gabby is so patient and kind and I can see my child become more and more comfortable in the water. She is in the beginner level learning the basics so progress is slow but steady and we couldn't be happier.

    Do NOT Bring a Child Who Is Afraid of Water Here…read more My daughter is 3 years old, and this was her very first swimming lesson ever. Before her first lesson, I clearly told the staff that she was terrified of water and that my goal was simply for her to gradually build confidence and become comfortable in the water. I specifically asked them not to force her underwater. The instructor completely ignored my concerns. During her very first lesson, the instructor put my daughter's head underwater. She immediately panicked and cried. You could clearly see the fear on her face, yet the instructor continued putting her underwater multiple times while she was crying. How is a terrified 3-year-old supposed to learn to hold her breath underwater while she is panicking and crying? At one point, she choked on the water, and I had to stop the lesson and pull her out of the pool. She threw up at the pool afterward and told me she never wanted to swim again. It took months for her to overcome the fear from that experience. The staff member later contacted me and apologized. I explained that I was willing to give them another chance, but I made it extremely clear that my daughter needed to go at her own pace and would go underwater only when she was ready. When we returned for the second lesson, I reminded the staff multiple times not to put her underwater. I also told the instructor directly. Instead of respecting my request, I was told that they have their own "curriculum" that they follow. I explained that I understood they had a curriculum, but I was asking them to make an exception because of my daughter's previous experience and fear. Apparently, their "curriculum" is more important than listening to a parent and recognizing when a terrified 3-year-old is crying. They put her underwater AGAIN. My daughter was crying and clearly terrified, and they continued anyway. This was not teaching--it was forcing a frightened child into something she was not ready for. I simply wanted my daughter to learn basic swimming and water safety in a safe, patient, and supportive environment. Instead, they ignored my repeated requests and made her fear even worse. If your child is young or afraid of water, I strongly recommend staying away from this place. I would never trust them with my child again. A child's safety, trust, and emotional well-being should come before any "curriculum."

    There are two pools. One is used by adults for lap…read moreswimming, as well as swim practice for the older kids. Itʻs in the shape of an L. In the summer, the pool is 50 m, that runs from shallow to deep. There are also a few lanes in the deep end (13 ft) that are 25 yards. In the winter, they reconfigure the lanes so that they are 25 yards (shallow water) and 33 yards (from 7ʻ to 13ʻ). Overall the pool ranges in depth from 4ʻ to 7ʻ and 13.ʻ It is open year round for lap swimming. The other pool is a shallower pool, used primarily for family swim, and swimming for kids in the summer. They also use it for lessons and swim practice for the kids. They have designated hours for public lap swim in the big pool from 12 - 3 PM, M-Sa, and also include Sundays in the summer. Be sure to look for the FAST swim program website in order to reserve and pay for a lane for lap swim. In the summer, the community summer day camp programs come and use the pool, usually from around 11 - 2. There are lifeguards. If you are doing lap swim, itʻs recommended taht you know how to swim. Lap swim tends to be very busy, and most of the people swam in high school or college, many of them during 12 - 3 are older. Basic swim equipment: fins, paddles, kickboards, goggles, are allowed to use as part of your lap swim routine. Swimwear attire. Overall, itʻs a very nice facility. It could use some facility upgrades, like shaded areas where people can towel off in the hot summer months, and where others can wait. It could use more regular cleaning of the locker rooms especially in the summer, when there should be restroom/locker room attendants. It could use more signage, and graphics, and the check in for everyone using the pool should be located near the entrance -in its own building, or a ticket booth. Itʻs a great place.
