This review is long overdue, but I finally learned the name of the young man who made such a lasting impression on my family. Over the last few months, I visited several times, and each time there was a young employee named Vardges who consistently went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and genuinely kind -- the sort of person who doesn't just do his job well but quietly elevates the entire atmosphere around him. What stood out most was the way he interacted with my young daughter. His patience and warmth toward her were sincere and unwavering, and that kind of care stays with a parent. It certainly stayed with me. People like Vardges make a real difference in their community, often without realizing it. I truly hope he gets the recognition he deserves. Thank you, Vardges, for setting such a wonderful example and for making every visit better than the last. read more

Very disappointing experience at this pool. We came on Sunday during the time that was listed for public swimming, but the staff told us the schedule was "wrong" and that we had to wait two hours because classes were happening. What was frustrating is that we were not allowed to enter the pool at all, and they didn't even offer us the option to join the class instead. We are local residents and cannot easily come back at another time, so this was very inconvenient. If the schedule changes, it should be clearly updated so people don't waste their time coming here. Very poor communication and customer service. And baby cried all morning because I promised him to go there. read more

If I can pick a bad review, it would be a -0 staff Park communication schedule is not updated the time me and my son have came to visit this place for the first time they had told me we had to wait two hours due to incorrect schedule the stuff close off lanes when there's literally no one in the pool, this pool has so many rude teenagers working here straight out of college because clearly they have an attitude People are seen bear naked in the restrooms. I do not want to see anyone's favorite parts. Whatever I go regardless of what gender it is,2 feet limited swim space only on a saturday!! Look forward for better!!! read more

Pacific Community Pool - The pools lanes were closed off due to their bad un reviewed scheduling,bare minimum swimming space. - Swimming Pools Near Me - Glendale, California

Great spot for me and my kid to swim. The lifeguards are all paying attention and I feel safe. The only thing wrong is that if you are not a resudent of Glendale - YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SIGN UP FOR SWIM LESSONS. Glendale residents get priority for 1 hour every sign up period and it will always get completely filled up. Great place to swim again, but you can't get your kid swim lessons u less you live in and register as a resident. read more

Pacific Community Pool - Yo - Swimming Pools Near Me - Glendale, California

I would give this pool five stars if it were not for the horrible, ear piercingly loud club music that the pool staff feel the need to play. I swam on a beautiful Sunday afternoon - the pool was filled with families and kids having fun, and adults doing laps. That awful and extremely loud music was not necessary and put a huge damper on the whole pool experience. The facility is clean, the pool is a nice size, the water temperature is very comfortable, and the lifeguards are attentive. read more

The staff here are super nice, but the website and notices are pretty hard to navigate. I visited here twice for Masters, and the coach was missing both times. I left some items behind, and the staff were quick to respond to emails and return them (yay!). Overall, I think this is a nice, small location to meet your swimming needs. I didn't enjoy the environment as much, but the people were extremely friendly, which made the visits worth the while. read more

The pool is really nice. I like it a lot. But the THUMPING CLUB MUSIC is so god awful. No one in the water wants to listen to that. I've called to complain & they told me they LEGALLY have to have it (what??? that's a lie) Swimming is my zen time and this pool really ruins it. I wish Glendale had more than one facility. read more

I love this community pool for lap swimming! The staff is awesome and welcoming, the locker rooms are clean, and the heated pool is open from 6am - 9pm. My only complaint is the old guys who use the lap swim lanes. Their comments to young women about how "pretty they are" or "you are in such great shape and have a lovely body" is just creepy! read more

Giving it 1 star because of high school lifeguards clearly needing to look up the word CHILL in the dictionary. If you wanna hear "young boy, walk - don't run", "lady, go UNDER the pool rope next time", "sir, don't stand in the swimming lanes. Only swimming in the swimming lanes", and "young girl, please go out of the pool and rest if you are tired" being shouted from teenage lifeguards every 2 minutes - go ahead! You'll have a blast! I know you are laughing right now and yes, I'm not kidding, these are direct quotes from the past hour that I've been here. Hah, I'm dying from laughing and cringing at the same time. read more

One of the few pools open in CA during the pandemic. It's a great spot, if you can get a lane. I love how respectful and careful they are to ensure social distancing guidelines. I will 100% be coming back! read more

Really nice pool very clean, kids have a lot of fun. Also they give swimming classes.

Great place . Nice personal. Always clean. Helpful stuff at front desk. I love this place

Super nice community pool. Big, not crowded and under $5 for two people. People working there are all friendly.

My kids have been taking swimming lessons here and have been with about ten different instructors. So far ANDREW is the best swim instructor they've had. The attention to details, desire to teach kids proper technique, firm but very encouraging teaching style. Just great. If we had him since day one i would give five stars. read more

Swim lessons went great! We've tried so many swim programs and my anxious kid learned to swim in two weeks!!! These young instructors are amazing with the kids. read more

Pros: 1. Kids' pee keeps the pool warm 2. Diving board 3. Mexican lady selling corn outside Cons: 1. Kids' pee keeps the pool salty 2. Diving on the diving board is prohibited 3. Swimmers buying corn thru the gate lol It's a nice facility and the kids' like it. read more

This pool seems new-ish. With school out, it is kids who command the place and you wouldn't want to show up without one. For my daughter and I, the entrance was $4 for the both of us, beyond reasonable. Though it was crowded on a Monday, the pool is decent-sized and roped off into sections and there is a diving board for little kids to jump, not dive, into shallow water. I have experienced public pools which are more packed such as the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center. A fairly hard tiny ball pegged me in the face and by the expression on the kid who threw it, I felt sorry for him. The locker rooms are too small and could use some additional benches. On the northeast side of the city, this is one of the better options for public pools for kids. read more

The WORST pool for lap swimmers in our community. I checked the schedule for lap swim, and called ahead to confirm. Going to lap swim is complicated because I need to schedule around my work schedule and my schedule as a parent. Once I arrived for evening lap swim I was told that the 3 lanes were actually 1, with three swimmers currently in the lane. I had no choice but to stay. It was too late in the evening to find another pool and, as a triathlete, I needed to get my swim workout done. I shared the lane with three men who were mostly courteous, but anyone who swims regularly knows that four swimmers in one lane is an exercise in frustration. We were making it work though. After 40 minutes, ALL of us were kicked out of the lane as a throng of young swimmers arrived for programming. This is NOT acceptable. 0 lanes for lap swim is not acceptable, especially when the schedule provides (limited) lanes for lap swim. I'm a seasoned swimmer who will deal with three other swimmers and one limited lane, but what about the other women who are trying to lap swim for fitness sake? Every single swimmer who was in the pool once I was kicked out was a boy. How are adult community members supposed to have access to a 25 yard lane? I am going to look into the structure of funding. If any dollars come from the city (my tax dollars), I plan on making many formal complaints. read more

Super clean, great staff. Tho that being said not once, but twice, I was charged $1 for entrance. That is the rate for people over age 55YO. I am 46. The staff now know me and charge $3, but I regret educating them. I've now come full circle and feel Ive earned and am entitled to the "you look like hell for your age" $2 additional discount. read more

Awesome environment. I really liked the way I was treated by the workers. Jennifer especially was super nice to me. She has a good heart and makes me feel welcome. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a fun summer activity. read more

This is horrible there was one lifeguard that bossed everyone and made me sit out until the end of the pool because I was having fun with my friends read more

A Great Place to visit during Summer. Check it out! Lap Swim Hours: Monday-Wednesday (12pm-1:30pm) Monday-Thursday (7pm-8:30pm) Sat/Sun (12pm-1:30pm) Rec Swim/Family Time: Monday-Thursday (1pm-3:45pm) Fridays (1pm-5:00pm) Sat/Sun (12pm-5:00pm) Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The lap swim schedule is available online; Sunday afternoon lap swim is scheduled at the same time as recreation swim (11AM to 1PM). I don't recommend going for a lap workout when rec swim is scheduled at the same time--there are only two lap lanes available. Maybe there are more lanes at other times, but you'd better call first to confirm. Actually, I don't think I'd recommend lap swimming here at all. The pool was very, very cloudy, so much so that I could barely see the other swimmers in my lane--very dangerous at the wall with flip turns. The water was also VERY hot (I was there from 11 to noon); too hot to really do a work out in. Combined with the cloudy water, I felt very claustrophobic and a bit suffocated under the water. The lifeguards were all super friendly and helpful. There are kick boards and pull buoys available. The locker rooms are not great. The floors are tile and very slippery. They are also wet and dirty, because everyone is walking through the water in their shoes. No mats to keep you from slipping. But, there are hooks on the wall, unlike Argue. No changing stalls, and only four little benches attached to the walls outside the showers. The set up was so bad, I didn't even rinse off after the pool, just drove home for a shower. I'm sure this place is fine for rec swim. But I do not recommend it for lap swimming, or for a shower afterward. $3 entry. read more

So much better than the LA Pools. Well at least the Yosemite and Glassell Park pools. It has a huge shallow area that even many 2-3 year olds can stand in. That area does get crowded though, but there is also a huge area that is 4 feet deep and remains uncrowded. They let you have pool toys and even provide noodles. Lot's of places to sit and eat... they allow you to bring food into the pool area. It's also cheaper and has longer swimming times, without shutting down in the middle. Oh plus it's newer and cleaner than the LA pools. Most importantly it is very convenient to end your swim session with a trip to the nearby Golden Road. Seems obvious to me... dad deserves a nice beer after spending all that time in the pool. read more

I've got my weeee little one signed up for a summer of parent and me swim classes here and I couldn't be happier with the facility. Yes, it is fairly new but the city has also done a nice job of maintaining the facility! The water has always been clear and comfortable. The showers and bathrooms are still nice too. The staff is nice and helpful. There is plenty of seating and shade for folks who prefer life outta the water. Yup, it gets busy and yup parking can be tough to find - but it is Summer in the city and the price is pretty cheap. Great spot to learn to swim or beat the heat! read more

Great place to chill of during the summer. Low entry price, they offer swim and aqua aerobics classes. Parking is on the street so get here early. Also it gets crowded fast so if you want to work on your tan get here early to secure a spot. read more

If you are looking for swimming lessons for kids there's no other better place than this pool. The staff is great, fantastic with kids, friendly and very helpful. The bathrooms need some work - the tiled floors can't be kept clean and not safe, also they need to redesign the space with creative solutions with hooks, shelves and makeshift changing areas. read more

This place is great! Took a chance of signing my kids up for swim lessons and I'm so glad I did because they love it! They were traumatized by a previous experience at a different location a few years back. The instructors, life guards, and office staff are all so friendly and efficient. Classes begin and end on time and everything runs so smoothly here. My kids are beginners but has already gained confidence and have so much trust in their instructors. I don't expect my kids to become Olympic swimmers in one summer. I just need them to not drown. Thank you! read more

Clean Cheap Good customer service Nice lifeguards I went on a Tuesday around 12:30pm with 2.5 year old twins. They had a blast, they know how to swim but we stayed in the 2-3.5 ft area and it didn't get too crowded, some bigger kids came in the area but the crowd was pretty nice and the lifeguards do a great job watching everyone and keeping people and children safe. Definitely going back! The kids were free and $3 for adults. Pool was a good temp, too. read more

Great vibe, happy families. And there's shaded seating for when that sun is blaring. A good place to bring your infant, as the shallow end is pretty large, and there are some nice steps to gradually enter the pool. read more

Just opened in Summer 2011. Glendale now has one of the newest pools in greater Los Angeles. It's as good a municipal pool as I've ever found for bringing the kids in So Cal! Water temp always seems perfect whenever I'm here. Maybe they have better tech these days or maybe it's just smaller than the Olympic sized ones everywhere else in LA. A really well designed shallow end w/three steps leading into a couple feet of water so even two & three year olds can stand up on their own. They've even been gradually improving details like laying mats down over the wet concrete hall by the locker rooms that's occasionally slippery w/sunscreen. If you're looking for super high diving boards head over to Pasadena. If you want to lap swim in icy cold water, then Eagle Rock Paradise pool or Griffith park pool would be more ideal. Weekend swims can get shoulder to shoulder crazy crowded (especially when it hits 90.) That's about the only time I would recommend one of the other nearby options instead. Otherwise you can't go wrong bringing the kids over here for summertime fun. PS-there's a pretty decent free Splash Pad adjacent...it's not Hurricane Harbor awesome, but it'll do if you don't want to drive all the way to Six Flags : ) read more

A great, family friendly pool with a designated area for the little ones. However, you will have to buy a ticket in advance, as the water slide area is usually books a day or two before read more

I know we live in a litigious society, but pools and supposed to be fun and relaxing...this place makes a concious effort to make the experience the opposite of that. With signs telling you where to sit, stand, walk, and LOOK, and lifeguards who take their jobs way way too seriously, this place can be a nightmare of anxiety. They would probably say, "it's all in the name of safety!", but there exists a line between valuing safety and allowing for a fun and relaxing experience free of megaphone demands every 5 seconds and signs directing every possible human action. If you want to constantly have your fun and relaxation seized by 5 over-zealous highschool lifeguards with megaphones who take their jobs too seriously, this is the place for you. read more

This is a great place for swim lessons! teachers are very patient. It shows they truly loved their job, which is very important when teaching our kids something. My kids really love coming here. Highly recommend. read more

Discovered this pool when I was searching for parks with water features for kids. When we got to the park we spied a brand new pool and after a bit of inquiry we found out they have open swim (see their calendar for times). We vowed to come back and come back we did...this past week during the heat wave. For $3 we swam for hours! I thought it would be crowded due to the heat but it wasn't that full! I am closer to the Glassell Park public pool but my visit to this Glendale pool might have me visiting this location more often. Its a great facility! The water is warmer than the Glassell Parks pool, there are a ton of chairs to relax under shade, it's not as crowded and there is a row of outdoor showers near the pool so you don't have to run to the locker room to rinse off. Plus, they play music! The biggest plus for me and my toddler is that there is a big shallow area that is 2 feet deep, perfect for toddlers learning to swim! My daughter and I had a blast! The only negative (minus one star) was that the ladies bathroom/changing room was on the dirty side (I skipped that part and went straight to the pool). Overall, very enjoyable! Oh yeah, plenty of free street parking. read more

Gonna take an adult swim lesson here. So excited! It looks most crowded between the end of one class and the beginning of next class. The number of parents and relatives standing or sitting around the pool is like twice the number of people who are actually swimming. read more

The pool is decent, never super crowded. The locker rooms leave something to be desired, ie. no suit wringer / dryer thing. But for the price, I suppose that's to be expected. read more

This place is great! I come here everyday to play soccer from 4-6 pm in a really nice soccer field they put in not too long ago. I pay $25 dollars a year and I get to use all their facilities, the soccer field, pool table ping pong and pick up basketball games. Great deal, very we'll kept! read more

I have gone to this pool a couple of times. The young inexperienced staff ( who seem like the care less) make a three person line have a 20 minute waiting period. Every time I go in there, their are kids screaming behind me as the girl takes forever to run a credit card and complete simple paper work. They don't seem to be in a hurry so that creates childen acting up in line. The also change the schedule at will. Waste of time. read more

If you love a tiny pool and being surrounded by screaming grade schoolers, then this is the place for you. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a quiet place to swim and relax, then look elsewhere. At $3 it seems like a steal. We didn't even go inside. Just looking in through the fence was all we needed to know this wasn't for us. read more
