They also have a kiddie pool for the little ones all gated in. Plenty of lounge chairs and tables. I saw a snack bar but it wasn't open. Also has life guards on duty. My son had a great time! This is not a year round pool, I think it's only open the summer months. The only negative is the tiles around the edge of the pool have a dirty film so that needs to be cleaned.

Then you realize...everyone already has pools, oh; and we live by the beach. Anyhoo...after a long three year break, I crave the thrill of victory and have taken up triathlon again. I used to swim with SCAQ when I lived in Venice (another very good program), but it's just too far for me to drive for a pre-dawn workout. The program is held in the Cal Lutheran Pool which was only recently finished. The pool is an outstanding 50 meters which will put the hurt on you if like me, you are woefully unfit. You can't fake fitness in swimming. Nancy, the head masters coach is quite accomplished...UCLA All American, Top Ten in the world in backstroke, etc. etc. She's a good coach who keeps her eye on everyone and gives regular feedback. Her workouts are tough...especially the 1.5 hour workouts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They even have another coach take the beginners in the 25 meter pool to teach noobs pool ettiquette, strokes, flip turns and all that other neat stuff. While they have a lot of items you will need...pull buoys, kick-boards, fins, you may want to invest in those AND a swim cap (if you're a lady), clear and dark goggles (if you're going to swim during the day), hand paddles (start with small ones that fit the size of your hands), wait and buy your fins from Nancy. Also I noted that people are using snorkels when doing pull drills. A couple things BRING WATER!!! Yes, you're in the water, but you still need to drink. If you're a guy and you're not used to wearing those lovely package revealing speedos, you can keep your goodies under wraps with the "down to the knee" versions at your local Sports Chalet. They have locker rooms with showers.

And 5+ years I have only ever had to share a lane twice! The staff is friendly, and the pool is partly treated by O-Zone so my swimsuits last longer and I don't smell like chlorine when I leave. The water is always super clean and just the right temperature and I just love it there.

Love swimming here, just, I have a hard time getting out of the pool but the step ladder helps!read more
