I definitely underestimated this pool! For some reason I expected it to be super crowded and…read morecrammed, but it was actually the opposite, there was a good amount of people and it was a very large pool where you had enough space in the recreation area. The amount of lanes were you able to get your lane if you wanted to do laps. Had multiple lifeguards onduty on top of safety and the place was clean. I will say the bathrooms could've been better, but overall the rest is really good. They had pool toys for you to use and my son really loved the water basketball hoop. It was also pretty neat that you can bring your own food or order your food for delivery. Four dollars per person is a great price! They also have summer movie nights and Sunday evenings with the inflatable pool jumper which I thought was pretty cool. Definitely plan to come back .

Wonderful and clean facility!…read more When the swimming pool at my gym was out of commission, I needed to look for an alternative as swimming is part of my weekly workout routine. The pool has 6 lanes, with increasing depth along the pool. The outer left lanes are very shallow and are mostly used for kids' swimming classes. The outer right lanes are 5 feet deep and are wide enough for comfortable swimming laps. The swimming pool is kept very clean and heated all year round. There is a lifeguard on duty and a small outdoor changing area. As for parking, there are ample parking spaces within the CLU school campus. The lanes fill up fast, and the best way to book them is through the conejo valley recreation website. Booking a single lane for an hour costs $4, which is a very affordable option to use such a nice facility.

My child has attended three lessons so far. The swim instructors have been great, and overall we've…read morehad a positive experience in that regard. However, the front office team has been disappointing. They don't greet you when you walk in and don't come across as approachable or helpful. When I asked about enrolling my son in an additional lesson with the same instructor, the staff member kept repeating the same information without really trying to understand what I was asking. No one stepped in to assist or clarify, which made the interaction frustrating. I wasn't set on a specific class type. I was simply trying to have my son work with the same instructor twice a week, whether that meant private or group lessons. Additionally, out of the three lessons we've attended, the instructor we originally booked has only been present once. Each time, we receive notice the day before or even the same day that there will be a substitute, which has been disappointing. I hope the front office team can improve their customer service and communication, as it would make a big difference in the overall experience.

UPDATE: Kaylee from the TO location called my wife and we were able to discuss what happened. She…read moreempathized, apologized and assured us that our kids would be able to bring their own gear to practice and that there was absolutely a place for kids who don't want to swim competitively yet. - We shall see how their next practice goes...Kaylee will be sending us an email that recaps our call today. This review is for the Lake Lindero location. My wife was invited to bring the eldest two of our children (5 & 7 year-olds) to trial out a pilot for this location at the end of the summer. We were told that it was a non-competitive team and everything was going swimmingly (5-Stars). However that instructor moved back to Hawaii and when the official program was kicked off in the fall, we were asked to bring any friends for an unpaid trial to gauge interest. However, this is where things went downhill fast. The first incident occurred during the first trial, where the owner/swim instructor forcibly removed a swim shirt/rash guard from a 7 year-old boy, who was telling him to stop and visibly resisting him. Our friend never brought her kids back again, but sent a very kind email asking them to review this practice and ensure that they not turn off any other children to swimming in the future. The second issue that occurred was that there were not enough instructors for the 4 lanes, which were packed with 15-16 kids. Another friend of ours wanted her daughter to join, but she couldn't understand the instruction and it became clear that this was a competitive environment rather than a non-competitive environment that we were led to believe. Lastly, our children were enjoying the swimming part, but repeatedly shared that it wasn't very fun and that it was a lot of work and that there was no time to make new friends (these are kids that play multiple sports year round and are not lazy children, however we just wanted a safe place for our kids to fall in love with swimming, since we have a pool and they are strong swimmers). What pushed us over the edge was being told opposing stories regarding a swim package (~$300/child for an embroidered backpack, suit, fins, etc). We were told that it was not mandatory to swim and since our kids are not wanting to compete, investing around $1K for one month of swim sounds ludicrous. My wife paid for the first month and when she showed up with our children this afternoon, the owner refused to open the equipment room for our kids to use the fins and kick-boards. This has caused us to cancel our membership (we have asked for a full refund and if this is honored, I will revise my review and rating). This is all so unfortunate, since our kids and many families in the neighborhood are looking for a place to take our kids where they don't need to compete, but just swim for fun. We had over 10 kids, who wanted to join our kiddos, but it looks like that won't be happening anymore. My daughter summed it up best, when she got home, "Daddy...today is such a bummer day."

There is no possible way to describe how much joy and comfort Dena has given our family. She was…read moreable to get a VERY fearful and reluctant 5 year old into the water and somehow get him to swim and actually go under-water.

And, to top it off, she was able to teach my wife to swim, just simply amazing and grateful. Thank you Dena, you are very special.

I would definitely recommend booking if you plan on having a group of kids swimming together, it helped the parents be able to relax a bit too!

I am moving my office to Westwood so it is no longer practical to come here in the mornings on my way to work as they do not open until 6am. If they opened at 5am I could stay but that extra hour just does not equate to a doable commute. I just updated my review to 4-stars as the Y has finally responded to some of our complaints. They have corrected the issues causing us grief and seem to have staff here now that are receptive to the members requests. This is a welcome change; so in response I have updated my rating. And thank you for finally removing the locks on the windows so 1) we can get out in an emergency; and 2) too bad we had to endure sweltering Summer with no ability to open them.
