Facility Reviews
It's a very nice facility, but I've never really seen it open. (Nor could I find an entrance.) It doesn't look like they ever use it - kind of a waste because it's one of only two Olympic standard pools in Pasadena. They should open it up to the public.
It's open to the public all summer. Lap lanes can be limited as they have water aerobics and swim lessons at the same time some weeks. Community swim classes are offered in the summer as well, if you sign up through the community college.
When the pool is open to the public, it is not for the entire summer; it's usually just open from late June to the first week of August. That's a shame, because it is closed during the height of swimming season. Its schedule seems to be dictated by the needs of day camps that use it, which in turn conform to school schedules where fall classes begin in August.
