    Lap lanes set up during recreational swim hour (well, 1.5 hrs). *sad trombone*
    Bea B.

    This pool facility is rather dainty, so bear that in mind when visiting. The ladies' change facility has little space in which to work. The shower area is rather compact with three shower heads in total. To be fair, there's no room for more. If it's you and another swimmer showering, then it almost feels a bit too intimate such is the tightness of the space. There's a single shower at the opposite end of the narrow change room just beyond the row of toilet stalls meant for those with mobility issues, but it's often dominated by mothers with children or body-shy folk. I haven't had issue with anyone on staff, but I watched as one of the girls working gave a delighted-to-swim, small child the biggest stink eye for walking through the Fort Knox-like entrance in front of her mother too enthusiastically. This same worker also seemed displeased by the child walking a couple of feet away from the payment window before her mother had finished paying the entry fee. The child wasn't spazzy, wasn't behaving in a manner that made one anxious for her well-being, she was just being a happy kid. I thought, man, if I can see her absolute displeasure at this child's behavior, then so can the child's mother. This was confirmed in the change room. The mother had had a sense of decorum and chose not to engage with the bratty employee. That was probably for the best as had the mother responded, then it could have soured the swim session, or worse, she and her child might have been ejected from the premises altogether. Recreation swim may or may not be as listed on the pool schedule, so be prepared for whatever goes. The other day, the teenagers who work there decided to leave the lap lanes up from the previous pool session in place during the rec swim hour, so that blew. Of course, it didn't suck for the lappers who somehow sussed out that they got another hour of lap swim during the day and came out in droves. The rest of us adults were relegated to a fourth of an already rather narrow pool for our pleasure. If the day hadn't been so windy, then I would have said that the pool trip had been worth it. However, with literally half the pool having been commandeered by lappers and my having to repeatedly dunk under to get away from insistent wind, I wish, on that day, that I had skipped visiting altogether. If you're lucky enough to find yourself at the pool on a warm and windless day when rec swim is actually rec swim, then you'll have half the pool for your lounging pleasure & it will be brilliant. If not, then it may be a 'meh' of a day for you. As my Irish Catholic grandma, who, incidentally, swam at this pool, would say: May you have 'the luck of the Irish' when visiting this facility! **no suit wringer contraption at this site **street parking is scant

    They have slow, medium, and fast lanes for lap swim and it's usually not too crowded if you go in the afternoon.

    Enrolled my baby into the Cuttlefish class and he enjoys it! Some instructors are more enthusiastic…read morethan the others, but that's okay. I like that the pool is heated since it gets pretty cold in the area. The first 15 minutes is free time, then the rest of class consists of sing-along and additional activities. I thought an hour would be too long, but it goes by pretty quickly. One session isn't enough to teach them to swim, it's nice to get them acclimated to being in the water and getting their whole head wet. Especially when we don't know anyone that has a pool near us.

    Wonderful place to do swim lessons with your little one! I've done at last 3 Cuttlefish sessions…read morehere now with my daughter, which have been fantastic. You sign up for day of the week, and get a 1 hour swim lesson with other children around the same age (6 months - 6 years for Cuttlefish). The first 15 mins of the class are free time in the water, you can play with the various water toys. The next 15-20 mins is Karaoke in the Pool, with nursery rhymes in a circle time. The last 15-20 mins of the class are divided into age groups, with the youngest kids on one side, and older kids on the other. Some of the teachers are really wonderful, Mary is my favorite, as she has a passion and affinity for working with the little ones. All the teachers are great though in different ways. My daughter loves swim lessons here, even though the class week after week is the same thing lol. The classes are also inexpensive compared to Le Petite Balen. The makeup sessions are very flexible too - just be sure to call Monday morning at 10am the week you'll be needing a different day - and generally they're able to fit you in. Or even in my case, they couldn't, but said to call the following week to have me do the make-up, which was so kind. Parking is super easy here too, and conveniently located next to the Zoo and Sunset district.

At this gym, there's a member who regularly blasts loud music from a speaker on the rooftop area--despite multiple polite requests and formal reports from other gym-goers asking for basic respect in a shared space. Rather than enforcing any reasonable noise policy (or even acknowledging common courtesy), management has repeatedly excused the behavior, citing "no official rule" about rooftop music. What's worse? Those who report the issue are being punished. Instead of addressing the offender, the gym suspended a reporting member--sending a loud and clear message: they will protect the rule-breaker and penalize the rule-follower. This is not just poor customer service--it's a clear failure of leadership and community care. We don't need a sign that says "don't play disruptive music in shared workout spaces," just like we don't need a sign saying "don't show up to the gym naked." Some things are common sense. If you're looking for a gym that prioritizes your comfort, respects community standards, or takes member concerns seriously--this is not the place. Until there's an apology and an actual accountability system in place, I can't in good conscience recommend this gym to anyone.
