Great physical structure and amenities. Local families enjoying friends and family are the members. Lots of activities during the day including SUP, yoga, swimming, fitness room and of course the beach. At night it's locals grilling their favorite foods and sharing beer and wine with friends. All the staff are excellent and most are club member's children. If it is not a weekend with nice weather there are no crowds. Can't count the times that I am the only person at the club Heaven on earth

The facility is also always clean, well-maintained, and welcoming, which makes every visit a positive experience. Thank you, Serina and Deion for everything you have done for Nathan! We highly recommend them to any family looking for amazing swim instructors!

After each lesson, Nelly provides feedback and things to work on between lessons. The lessons are weekly, 30 minutes, and South Bay Aquatics bills monthly for lessons. They are very reasonable and if you miss a lesson, they have make up classes. The program is supported by a website which has the schedule and billing. The staff are very friendly, patient and accompanying. The facility has many different sized pools with different depths. Very well lit and clean. There are changing rooms in the facility as well. So far, we are very happy with South Bay Aquatics and recommend them for swimming lessons.

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.

Anissa is by far the best instructor we've ever had. She is on a whole different level! She pays incredible attention to detail. Since mastering clean and accurate form is the foundation of swimming, she corrects even the slightest hand angles and head positions. Thanks to her detailed coaching, we are already seeing great results in such a short period of time. She is incredibly friendly, professional, and amazing at what she does. An extra bonus: my child told me that the instructors constantly exchange feedback and advice with each other. It's wonderful to see a team working together like that, and it creates such a positive atmosphere. If you are looking for quality swimming lessons, this is the place to go!

My kids have been coming here for years and they love it for all of the following reasons 1) food is great, yes, included and kid-friendly 2) staff are kind and experienced - for some reason a lot of psychology majors 3) fun games! watching campers versus counselors dodgeball just left me leaving with the biggest grin they swim every day which basically means it's a spring break-like pool party daily. My kids have been living it up with poolside shirley temples and fries. it's wonderful to see that there is still a place with JOY. Not about getting ahead academically, or being the most competitive athlete, but just about having good ol' fashioned fun. I hope my kids stay long enough to maybe one day be staff.

Dear Gym Management, Not sure if you are aware of the…read morefollowing. Are there any plans to remedy any of these? 1) There is only one 25 pound dumbbell. Not even a pair of them, there is only one 25 pound dumbbell in the entire gym. 2) There are only 2 flat benches for doing bench presses in the new remodeled set up. And now one of them is out of commission because of some damage. So now there is only 1 flat bench for doing bench presses in the entire gym. 3) There are no portable/movable benches in the gym. So you can't carry a bench over to the smith machines to either bench, incline bench, or do military presses. Seems like the smith machines are under utilized because of this. All other 24 hour fitnesses have portable/movable benches. 4) There is a shortage of 5 and 10 pound plates. 5) There are mirrors in front of only 2 of the 6 or 7 squat racks. The vast majority of mirrors in the entire gym are behind machines, not in front of the machines or in a place where people can use them.

The entire construction process went so smoothly--it honestly couldn't have gone better. The only hiccup came from delays with the city's building department where they needed extra steel reinforcement, but Sunsplash handled everything with patience and kept us updated the whole time. Their quote came in a bit higher than some others we received, but looking back, I'm so glad we chose them. The peace of mind, the quality of the work, and the total lack of issues made it well worth it. You really get what you pay for. We love our new pool, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunsplash to anyone looking to build or remodel. They truly care about the work they do and it shows.
