This pool has become a second home for our family. My son began playing water polo there as a high…read moreschool freshman in 2002, the year the pool opened. Since that first day, we have both spent thousands of hours there. He now takes his daughters there as he teaches them how to swim, and I still swim there 6x a week. As to the details of the pool: It's 50 meters long, and is usually set up in the short course layout. There is a shallow end that gets a fair amount of instructional use by the staff trained to give swim lessons. Lifeguards are attentive, and contrary to what one reviewer stated, they are not allowed to take a speaker or headphones into the tower with them. The water temperature is always between 79.5 and 80.5 degrees. There are masters swim programs 6 days a week. Instructional and competitive swim and water polo programs are present in abundance in the afternoon and evening hours.

It's a fine pool. Just fine…read more I've been on the lookout for a nice lap swim pool and have been making my way to all the local city pools, starting with Clairemont. It's a very no-frills spot: small locker room, showers, very minimal seating on the pool deck, and a dedicated 1-3 lanes for lap swim. For $4 for ~2 hours, it's a pretty darn good deal. I will say that the pool isn't in the best condition. You can tell there's been a lot of wear and tear. I also don't love that there are open deep gutters along the permitter, making it difficult to get in/out of the pool. Overall, not a bad pool, but not a great pool. I'm personally looking for a more elevated pool experience

I'm a Girl Scout troop leader, and our troop had planned to go swimming on Saturday 8/19 from 11:00…read moream to 1:00 pm. I had stopped by the desk in person to ask someone about this about a month prior. They said that for a group of our size, we should make a reservation. I asked the cost and determined it was too expensive for our troop. I asked if we could just all show up at the same time and pay the admission fee. They said that was fine but that they would appreciate a heads up. So I gave the date and time and told them I'd call again when I had a headcount. I called on 8/11 with a headcount. No one picked up, so I left a message with my name and phone number. I called again on 8/17 and talked to someone. I gave my name and number, a brief run-down of our situation, the date and time we intended to come and a headcount of around 25. The woman was very kind and told me they would have no trouble accommodating our group. I asked if it would be possible for our girls to use the diving board and she said they should have enough lifeguards to supervise that. I arrived 15 minutes early on Saturday 8/19 to find out there was a swim meet going on! They weren't even open to the public at the time I asked about! I called the front desk from my car (because I couldn't find a parking spot) and the person said, "Yeah, so we can't accommodate your group today because we have a swim meet." I was livid! Here I was with 2 little girls in my backseat and 20 other people arriving in 10 minutes, and we had nowhere to swim. The person I talked to kept giving excuses and passing the blame to other people. "We didn't have your number." (Yes you did. I left a message.) "Oh, well, we never got that message." I eventually talked to a manager. I explained the situation. He said that I should have asked to talk to a manager. (I DID talk to a manger when I stopped by the front desk in person.) "Oh, that was probably the other manager. He didn't tell me about it. For a group your size, you really need to make a reservation." (I already explained that our troop couldn't afford the reservation fee. And you could have told us previously that you wouldn't be able to accommodate us without a reservation, rather than misleading us to believe that our troop could go swimming today.) I asked if our group could swim after the swim meet. "No, because we only have 1 lifeguard on duty today. So we can't have more than 25 people in the pool at a time. And we're at capacity." I sent a group message to the troop, the beginning of which read, "I am so, so sorry. I don't know how to say this, but Clairemont Community Pool has kind of screwed us over...." And then I explained everything. Nearly everyone in our troop was either arriving at the pool or on their way when I sent this message. Our troop is a pretty amazing group of people and they were all so understanding and patient. I drove around a bit and called other pools and looked for somewhere else we could swim. Our troop did get to swim at the Swanson Memorial Pool for a few hours. I explained the situation to that pool's staff and they were very kind and helpful. Our girls had a great time, so happy ending!

Not only, but I can't count how many awesome evenings I've spent there getting a great workout in the pool, then just vegging out in the hot tub while watching the sunset or admiring view of the canyon... Truly a special place to swim. The layout consists of a main building where you have to register to get in (either using your student ID or buying a membership). The main building is also where you will find a rock wall climbing center (i've never been but I know every once in a while they have days where students climb free) as well as your showers/locker rooms, and a great little gym. When i lived on this campus i used to prefer the Canyone View Gym to RIMAC simply because nobody seemed to use it, and I never had to wait on anyone to do my workout. Literally straddling the pool building are two olympic sized pools and the legendary hot tub. The pools are heated, with lights that turn on when needed, as well as 2 diving boards on the east pool. The crowd that goes here is good at respecting the "slow on the left, fast on the right" lane rule, and when it gets a little crowded people are very respectful when sharing lanes. In fact, if you are super slow like me, its totally fine to just go to the shallow end and work on your swimming for a while - thats what i did for a month or so and improved greatly! Nobody every gave me even the slightest of negative looks. Finally, I cannot stress how importantly awesome the hot tub is. Its large (you could probably fit 15 people in there), clean, HOT, and positioned perfectly so that you can go and relax after any sort of work out. In my experienced opinion, (and that of many others) this is THE best aquatic facility and THE best hot tub in all of La Jolla, possibly all of San Diego. Right now with absolutely no affiliation to UCSD you'd have to pay 120$/3 months, and an alumni pays $100/qtr. Its really not that bad - I strongly recommend this as your next workout choice.

Big shoutout and thank you to Matthew at Aquaguard Pool Fences! I shopped around with several pool…read morefence vendors, but I could tell pretty quickly that I'd be moving forward with Matthew. From the start, he was honest, transparent, and never once used high-pressure sales tactics (which I really appreciate). His quote came in fair compared to others I received, and he took the time to really understand our needs. We needed the fence as part of the process to become resource parents for San Diego County foster youth, and Matthew was incredibly thoughtful in helping us make sure everything aligned with CA code requirements. He even encouraged us to confirm details with our social worker and was flexible when we hit a small curveball with elevation changes from a nearby step. Installation day was seamless, about 4 hours for 136 feet of 5-foot fencing, and the finished product looks amazing (pictures don't lie!). He also went above and beyond by cleaning up the area, walking us through how everything works, and making sure we felt comfortable using the gate and removable sections. What really stood out was how easy and genuine he was to work with, it felt more like talking to a friend than a vendor. Plus, the lifetime warranty is a huge bonus and something we didn't see with other companies. I highly recommend Aquaguard and Matthew if you're looking for quality work, professionalism, and someone who truly cares about getting it right.
