    First time coming to this pool & on the first day open for summer ! free swim let's get into it …read more Besides me being an avid seafood lover, I am also a fish out of water lol ! I am literally a mermaid when it comes to swimming. I've been swimming all my life from public pools, private pools to beaches, rivers and lakes , being involved with lifeguarding as a teenager as well . I love swimming. I love being in the water, and I know the rules when it comes to public pools so this is where my honest opinion comes into play. So first of all, I will say this . As a mom I always do my research before I go anywhere , talk about anything , or judge. I've read a lot of mixed reviews about this place. This is what I have to say. I did my research and they said the following: pool is open from 11 to 6. There is a swim test required to go in the deep end and go off the diving board. You are not to wear regular clothes or cut off clothes in the pool. of course no running and etc. when I got there none of the rules were being followed. I even brought kids with me , not one kid was tested to get in the deep end , all life guards watched. and this is the first day opening so I can't go off of "Oh they might know this child" No ! your job as a lifeguard is to make sure no one is going under your watch. I feel like the young team staff thinks that since their parents are with them. there's no need for a swim test .... with my experience with swimming It's very important !including adults ! because just because a parent is an adult doesn't mean they have the best swim skills and if something were to happen, it is your job as the lifeguard to step in . so that stood out to me ( luckily me and mines know how so we were alright) I even taught a young lady how to dive ( she was a gymnastics girly and her mom was present ) and even thanked me for helping because she doesn't know how to dive so how can she teach !! But also as well as people breaking the rules with clothing, you have to remember this is a public space when you jump in the pool you're jumping in and sharing with everything so it was kind of disheartening to see a lot of rules being broken. Besides my personal observation of the rules and conduct of the employees , overall the pool is nice. It goes from 3 feet to about 13 feet deep on the deep end with the diving board. They also have a kid pool as well. They have tables that you can rent out for parties as well as a little shaded area, but you are allowed to bring your own lawn chairs and find your own spot if space is available around the pool , I brought two of mines . came from 11 to 5. The website says 11 to 6. They need to update it cause on the first day. I was expecting to stay the whole day . It was a 90 degree day . And they made us get out at 4:45 because they closed at 5 . I even brought it to one of the guards attention about the hours needing to be updated ( he said it's only for Friday , it was a Friday lol ?! He didn't know what he was talking about ) They have a snack bar, but it's trash honestly I've been and grew up in so many different pools. You could bring your own food and they will not bother you. Save your dollars and pack picnic style for the pool if you decide to stay here all day. Overall me personally, I have no complaints. I know what I will and will not do coming here, but just to appreciate the pool. We had a good day . little details I noticed, but if I come prepared, it's things I don't have to worry about . this is a nice pool . I suggest staff be more aware as well as parents and bring your own food..... that's my opinion.

    Very cute place ! Water is very warm with a diving board .. it's a bit hidden and a very low price…read more. $3 per person . I would totally recommend

I am not sure who Norma is talking about, but I have worked right along side the Janitor at Turner during an Earth day event. He is a very upbeat guy and is very kind to the kids. The principal here is TOPS! She did a great job getting this school under control from a very organized drop off all the way through to the equally organized pick up after school. She also has a very firm yet fair approach to running her school. She always addresses the students and parents in a respectful manner regardless of the situation. The demographics in the area are the sole reason for the 3 star review. There are many children here that come from rough/ or ESL homes and the school is doing many things to get these kids any assistance they need, however the sheer volume of disadvantaged children brings down the overall performance of the school. The PARENTS that come to school and make a scene are another part of the problem, My son was very distraught after witnessing a belligerent parent berating a staff member with foul language and aggressive behavior. The student belonging to this "parent" joined in telling the staff member to "shut up". While few and far between, these incidents do occur at Turner. This is the unfortunate reality of the entire School District as well as many other school districts in the area. The food being horrible (as described by the other reviewer) is also not the fault of the school. This is due to a much bigger problem that affects nearly all public schools barring those located within very wealthy areas like Alamo or San Anselmo. (If you want to have lunch envy go look up what those kids are served!) In summary, both of my children have done quite well here and we are sad to go but we are moving so we must.
