Notes:
|
The center's Web link, at the top of the "The Basics" section, does not work for some people, some times. It is one of the most frequently reported "broken links", but it always works for us, albeit sometimes slowly.
Parking in the area may be difficult, at times. See the Directions and Parking page on the center's Web site.

Reviews:

A beautiful facility. Rating: 9 on a scale of 10 (½ point deducted for not being open for lap swimming all day and ½ point for having long course lanes only three mornings a week [Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday]. The lockers are on the pool deck, so you have to carry your clothes out, after your shower, to secure them. Definitely not a 9 in my book. If you want a 9, try the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena. There is no parking.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.
