    In regard to Lap Swimming…read more Hours are pretty flexible. About twenty lanes with the first part of the pool set for those who water walk and about 16 to 17 lanes to lap swim. Depending on the time of the day, some lanes close, for water classes. Be weary, if you go first thing when they open at 6am, and also when they reopen at 4pm or 5pm. There are groups of people that call themselves "The Regulars". A few of them like to put kickboards on open lanes to save for people in line behind you. Sometimes, if there is a long line on a hot summer day. A "Regular" might show up and just cut to the front of the line outside with another "regular" who is there already. Some of these people can be rude and really like their specific lane. And will throw a fit if you happen to take their lane. Some of these "regulars" will even lie and come up with a sob story for you about their past injuries, just to get a specific lane. The staff have not really monitored/enforced certain rules in the past. Hopefully that changes. You have been warned. The "regulars" are nice, as long as you don't get their lane or get in line ahead of them. Some will even show up 1 to 3 hours before the pool opens in the morning and afternoon in order to get their lane. They mean business and can be cutthroat. The place has a lot of potential. Cosmetic wise, it's what you'd expect of a facility that's almost a 100 years old.

    For the price you pay for rec swim and toddler swim you can't find a better deal in the East Bay!…read moreWe come to this pool the most frequently out of the 3 indoor public pools in the area, the others being Dublin Wave and Silliman Aquatic center in Newark. Great hours for toddler swim, 11am to 1pm Monday thru Friday and 5 to 7pm Tues, Thursday, Friday. There is also rec swim kn Saturday from 1:30 to 3:30pm. The toddler pool is great for toddlers to get used to the water and there is a depth gradient that will allow them to explore and eventually try to swim. There are also toys provided by the staff for the little ones to play with in the pool. The staff here have always been very nice to us and you can tell that the lifeguards on shift take their jobs seriously. Yes, the facility is almost 100 years old and does show its age, but for $5 total for a baby and an adult as well as the super flexible hours? You just can't beat that deal.

    The facility itself is nice, but I would strongly recommend that prospective members carefully…read morereview the bylaws before joining. During my membership, the club was dealing with a wall/fence dispute involving a neighboring property and assessed members an additional legal fee related to that matter. When I cancelled, that fee was deducted from my refundable membership deposit. The club later pointed to bylaw language allowing legal-counsel-related fees to be assessed without a member vote, which may be permitted under their rules, but I found the overall handling and communication disappointing. In my view, prospective members should understand that membership may involve additional assessments beyond the regular dues, including legal-fee assessments, and should ask for the current bylaws and any pending assessment information before signing up.

    I never knew there was a swim club in CV in the area that it was in up until now. It is a hidden…read morespot - a small swim club that is really great for the residents that live nearby in the area. There is a private parking lot. You'll need a membership to enter the actual facility unless you have been placed on guest list by a member where at check-in, you'll receive a wristband. The club has a large pool, jacuzzi, tennis / pickleball courts, tables that are first come first served in shade, patches of grass where you could lay your towel out, and areas where you could reserve -- gazebo or BBQ areas. Overall, great place for those with kids. The place is very family oriented and seems like everyone who's there knows everyone. Great spot for birthday parties and other holiday celebrations. It's too bad that the marketplace that was within walking distance had that terrible fire accident. People have said that it was a go-to spot whenever they came to the club. Oh, and they allow for deliveries (aka pizza or outras comidas).
