    I want to give a compliment to the Manager Diego at the Echo Park Indoor Pool. Diego came to my rescue after getting locked out of my Tesla leaving my iPhone inside the car. He was able to help me call a family member to unlock my car for me . That's one of the Pros of a Tesla . It was near closing time but, Diego didn't leave me until I was able to get my car open. So my much appreciated thanks to Diego and sorry for making you stay late after closing to finish up your job. Corrina the Keyless Tesla lockout girl lol

    I drive to this pool all the way from Burbank, despite the fact that I could walk to the pool near me! This pool is a hidden gem for me, it's cozy and old school. I go to enjoy my time in water and do my pro swimming practice and that is exactly what happens. Never have I been turned away (like they do in Burbank pools!), my equipment is in my availability, but there is also equipment available for free to use on deck. The water is fine, showers are fine, no problems ever! Stuff is different, some are wonderful kind and attentive people, I did encounter a rude one once, but I haven't seen him since though! So it's a pleasant experience overall. And I am a pro swimmer and coach, so I've been in just about every swimming pool in LA. And this is my spot! And I'm not surprised I see other pro swimmers here regularly! It's a perfect place! There is one thing I would say. The payment. Why oh why are pools in LA still not equipped with the BASIC system of non-cash payment ??! I mean, I know the answer sadly, but it makes me so so so upset that swimming is so unprofitable to the government that they can't even bother to switch the systems to electronic for a decade by now!!? I'm not even talking about renovations of pools, not even dreaming about ones, I'm sure swimming pools will stay exactly same funding wise all the way until they collapse on our heads. I've already gone to meet up with some politicians about the desperate state swimming in LA is, but I'm sure I was ignored. I didn't bring loads of money with me to a meeting, so... Maybe one day.

    Dear Echo Park Pool, You are the closest in the city to my house so I try over and over again to visit you but man, do you frustrate me beyond belief. Exasperated is a good word. You clearly post signs and print brochures with your swim times, but when I get there at 0:01 after the first hour, it is already a packed house and I am baffled how. Is there some secret I don't know about? I don't mind the kids, I mean, how can I after growing up with a public pool experience all through my childhood. And you clearly keep them in the roped off shallow areas. But I battle it out for lap lanes with dozens and dozens of people, most of them too good to share a lane with. And then you expect me to share a lane with two, three or four (gasp!) people who want to swim in a loop and then, since I can't swim that strongly yet, I have to bail. So I just paid $2 (with my library card) to get bumped out a lane. AGAIN. At least your change rooms are spacious and easy to deal with. Your showers are plenty and the toilets nice and always clean. The ladies who work the bag claim are always kind and starting to get to know my face, which is always pleasant. But the folks who work here otherwise are pretty useless. They can't answer questions, some don't speak English very well, and they tell one thing on the phone than they do in person and it makes me angry. On more occasions than I would like to admit, I have dealt with idiot LA84 class instructors who ask me to leave a lane for their class and walk away from their students while they disrupt everyone in the lanes surrounding them. I have even had one of your students jump over me into my lane and hit my legs while I was lap swimming. I could have killed him. I complain but the teenagers behind the glass have eyes that say, "I don't care, it's public." Your pool is rad, looks cool from the outside, is indoor so I can enjoy it all year, and is easy to get to from my house. But you have so many flaws you make me never want to come back after every visit. I guess my memory is easily erased after a few days, because I do come back. It's a rough cycle with you, but I try to find patience with you. I will continue to pray for your soul and hope you get better to deal with someday. Signed, Siobhan D.

    I've been here only during lap swim hours. Parking: None, if you come when it's crowded. There is a small parking lot but it holds less than 20 cars, so be prepared to look for parking in the neighborhood. And always beware of parking signs and times, because LA loves to ticket. Pool: Let the good times roll! This pool is large and has over ten swim lanes. The water is bleachy, but I'm never ashamed to admit that there's something about that I like. Either it's the idea that there's less junk in the water to get me sick or just some pool memories from childhood. (Or a good load of laundry. I don't know.). The area around the pool is clean, too. The lane ropes/lines are taught so you don't have them drifting into you as you swim. The staff are helpful and answer any questions you have. Locker Room: Well, you can read the other reviews with the same opinion. Actually, no lockers. Bare concrete essentials. Showers have stupid low-flow spritzers and dumb buttons that turn the water on for about 1-1/2 seconds. You have to keep pressing for more water!! Try that with shampoo in your face or just try rinsing your back. Stupid conservation!! No modesty here. There are NO changing stalls. Cost: $3 per swim. Lap swim passes are available for a slight discount.

I paid a dollar to get in (50+), and found the staff to be courteous and friendly. You are given a ticket and then it is collected by the changing room attendant (you enter the pool via the changing rooms). There are no lockers, but the attendant can store your bag while you swim. Plenty of shower and toilet stalls, pretty clean, basic facilities. Most of the pool lanes were being used for youth water polo, and there was one lap swimming lane set up. The 3 ft area on either side of the deeper parts of the pool (the middle of the pool gets to 11 ft) were open swim so I just stayed close to the lap swim lane and had no trouble getting my workout in. I was the only one left doing laps after 630pm. I will be back, I appreciate not having to swim around other people and/or share a lane, we will see if that changes when summer comes around.

The tarp over the slide looks like a typhoon hit it(dirty and ripped apart). Why tempt us? It's false advertising also. And there's a reason why they don't have pictures of the changing rooms. So dirty :( . Back before Covid when people actually worked(and wanted to work) the changing rooms were hosed down regularly throughout the day and clean. Now the attendants are on their phones the whole time instead of working. They clearly do not care about the people of this community and neighborhood when it comes to swimming and having a place to hang out in the Summer. I wanted to call the Health Dept. so many times but then I was afraid that they would shut it down permanently, other people that don't care about the filth might suffer and I wouldn't even have a place to lay out. Really sad how fast the place went downhill.

That itself gives this historic structure a miraculous feel because it survived desegregation in an apartheid state that still tries to hide/deny its ugly white supremacism. Nonetheless, the racist, capitalist model of diminishing public infrastructure because they provide benefit to non-whites equally, prevails. The changing rooms are a shambles. Ironically, in many poorer nations where I have used municipal pools, they have smarter, more updated locker rooms. (This reveals the character of what passes for national culture.) Enough now with the disparagement and let's pivot to this historic pool. The length is perhaps Olympic size but the deep end of the pool is in the middle. It's cordoned off into three sections across, allowing a lap swimmer to benefit from the deepest central third, although it is not a full 25 yards across. The water is much clearer than in Glassell Park and perhaps it's because it is not as heavily used? I found there's a solid jet stream of pumped water underneath leading to a kind of "rip tide" effect in the pool. You have to work harder to get across because of the undercurrent. It's quite enjoyable. The lack of trees around this pool makes the sun feel harsh, but the nearby Gold line train gives it a feeling of being part of a vibrant metro region. As well I was smelling street tacos from a nearby truck, very aromatic I was delighted to find this pool during one of the extended brutal heat waves of triple digit temperatures that are commonplace now thanks to climate change. However, consistent with the history of white colonizers being callous about the welfare of non-white citizens, and overriding the unique realities of western geography in favor of conformity with norms from the northeast, the City of LA Parks and Recreation department feels the need to shut down pools like this one during LA's *hottest months* of September and October. In other words, yes, the City of LA would rather people of this area suffer the heat than keep this pool open to allow for some respite for vulnerable human bodies. LA's hottest months are always September and October. City of LA Parks and Recreation: We don't care. Finally, note there is limited parking in a lot which exits into a mega-dip in the street side curb that will crack most sedans' chassis... Call 818-804-7570 about hours.

That is not how a public pool should operate. - Staff do not enforce or educate swimmers on basic lap-swimming etiquette (sharing lanes, splitting or circle swimming). Many swimmers act territorial and refuse to share lanes, and no one corrects them. - The atmosphere is often unpleasant and at times unsafe. I was harassed by another swimmer with clear behavioral issues, and staff did nothing. - The facilities themselves are poorly maintained -- dirty, with visible cockroaches and no proper changing rooms. Since switching to LACES Pool, the difference has been night and day. The staff there are professional and respectful, the facilities are clean and well maintained, and there's a proper locker room for swimmers. Sadly, Eleanor Pool does not meet even the most basic standards I'd expect from a public pool. I won't be returning.
