First off, private interest can hire out lanes at any time and they deduct those lanes from paying customers. Second, if your a tax paying resident and a student you get the cheapest rate, but some of the staff (Dave) take it upon themselves to dictate rules and limit you on how many you can buy (like a Nazi). Lockers and locker rooms are near disgusting. Amazing how a city that has 1-bedroom apartments that rent for $6,000 can't make a nicer facility.

We…read moretook our 2.5 year old to a Seahorse class today and at one point, he slipped, and was face down in the pool, and the teacher, Gio, was not paying any attention. My husband and I were calling to him that our son was, um, drowning, and he did not react. When I realized he wasn't going to do anything, I ran over and pulled my son's face out of the water. Gio then picked him up and set him on his feet and moved away. He did absolutely nothing to console or comfort our crying child. He, instead, said "if you're not ready for this class, you shouldn't be here." If you are unable to ensure the safety of children or even show them empathy, you should not be working with them in any capacity, Gio.

Annenberg Community Beach House has a great location and concept, but our experience was mixed. I…read morecame here with my daughter hoping for a relaxing afternoon of sun and pool time, and while it has potential, there were several limitations that made it less enjoyable than expected. Timing really matters here. It is best to come during off hours if you want any chance of getting a lounge chair to set your belongings down or take a break. When it is busy, seating is very limited and can get crowded quickly. The pool itself is not ideal for young children or anyone expecting a gradual entry. There is no graded or zero-depth entrance. Instead, you enter via a ladder directly into about four feet of water, with a rope separating this area from the deeper section. This setup may be fine for confident swimmers, but it felt less family-friendly than anticipated. Conversely, if you are looking to swim laps, this is not a lap pool. It is purely recreational. The changing and bathroom area is very open, and the showers offer no privacy. The shower water was also quite cold, which was not especially comfortable, particularly for kids. If you are expecting enclosed changing rooms or warm showers, this may be disappointing. Parking is public street parking only, paid at meters, which adds another layer of planning and cost. Overall, while the beach house is in a beautiful spot and can be enjoyable under the right circumstances, the lack of amenities, limited seating, and less-than-ideal pool and changing facilities make it hard to fully relax or recommend, especially for families with young children.

If you swim OSC consistently, you'll also experience a huge range of open water conditions: smooth as glass to 8 foot faces, cross currents, rips, fog, crystal clear conditions, everything. Having all that experience sure comes in handy on race day. And, even though all levels can swim the OSC (as long as you can swim 500 yards without assistance), there's always a local who's who of elite triathletes, open water swim champions, and the like at the OSC. Tons of fun. TONS. Go for breakfast with your friends after the swim. You have my permission to be a little late to work... It will do your spirit good. This is why we live in SoCal, yes?

But as with any other big box gym, the expensive specialized equipment are also subject to wear and tear.

It gets crowded, particularly during the late afternoon to early evenings. During my time here, I've not been snubbed by people, and have offered others to work in because waiting between equipment can take time. Dumbbells are more often than not in the racks where they belong when not used, which is rare in big box gyms. This is probably one of the better big box gyms around. I enjoyed my time here.

I first became aware of SCAQ while investigating a potential ocean swimming clinic for our beginner…read moretriathletes that were preparing for the Malibu 2XU triathlon in September. I was unable to attend the clinic that SCAQ put together as I was travelling abroad but heard great positive feedback from the team how the sessions at VSNO were very helpful. Coach Clay Evans shared with us a wealth of experience and keen insights on ocean swimming. I was offered to come tryout a workout once I returned. A few tips and video critiques on my stroke later, I was hooked. I am a very experienced swimmer - competed in high school and swum with a top national team back in the day - I was astonished at how the SCAQ team had managed to rekindle my love of swimming after many years of training but neglecting technique. Coach Chappie DeHaven was assigned to help our swimmers get comfortable swimming in those unpredictable Zuma beach waters. As an experienced LA lifeguard, Chappie knows the ins and outs of the tides and currents along the coastlines better than anyone. His experience, genuine concern and patience were crucial for our new members to gain the confidence they needed to complete the swim leg this year. I look forward to next season as we continue our quest to master the ocean and perfect our technique. SCAQ exceeds expectations and this crew knows how to have fun!

Within a few weeks, Coach Clay invited me to his house nearby after a workout to meet his daughter and her husband who were my age and their baby. He said he thought we would get along. I thought it would be fine because he couldn't stop talking about his grandson and showing me pictures so I thought he was just a nice old grandpa. When I got there, it was only him. He kept saying that his daughter was "running late" from a art show or something like that and kept offering me some cocktail that he mixed up. I didn't touch it. He seemed pretty smashed by the time I got there anyway, red nose, slurring, you know the type. He kept pressuring me to drink and then started making inappropriate comments, like he was trying to pick up on me and showing me really suggestive artwork. He kept say we're all adults here.
