    My husband and I took our grandchildren to the pool today, and while we had a nice time overall,…read morethere are simply too many rules. I felt like I was being monitored the entire visit by overly controlling lifeguards. The office employee at the front was very nice, but once you get inside, the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable. At one point I was barked at to move because some kids needed to take a swim test. Later, my granddaughter was swimming, so I got in the pool with her because she had to wear a red wristband due to her age--even though she swims perfectly well. I was standing on the pool steps in the water, but the lifeguard insisted I had to be fully "in the pool water." I don't understand why it matters whether I'm standing or sitting on the step, especially since I had been sitting there earlier with no issue. I used to bring my own children to this pool years ago, and people seemed much happier then. You were expected to swim back and forth, not take a formal swim test like you're training for the Olympics. Please do better, Poway. I pay taxes for this pool, and it feels like the people who get the most benefit from it are the lap swimmers and swim classes.

    I had a terrible experience here. First, it is so expensive if you aren't a Poway resident. I paid…read more$26 for myself and my two kids. You can pay $12 at Woodland Park or $11 at Alga Norte and they don't care where you're a resident. Next, their open swim area is TINY. It's essentially the steps and maybe 6 feet out beyond them. The rest is swim lanes. The lifeguard on duty suuucked. First, my kids went to get in without me. They are four and five and both have been in swim lessons since they were babies, so they are great swimmers. The lifeguard yelled at me to go in with them. So, I did. I sat on the steps in the pool to watch them swim. The lifeguard then yelled at me that I was too far away from them. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was within 3 feet of them. I noticed she said the same thing to another mom, so at least she was consistent. It's a ridiculous set of rules when the open swim area is so small and I'm right there. They ask your kids age upon entry and they get a colored wristband based on age. It's obviously just a blanket assumption they place on age and skill level, so good swimmers are unfortunately punished. They do have a splash pad that my kids enjoyed and it looks like you can grab a plastic chair to take wherever you want to sit. You couldn't pay me to come back though. Between the cost and the dumb rules, I'll go elsewhere.

She should never teach swim to ANY child. There is absolutely no instructor half of the time and the people that do arrive seem to be busy on their cell phones. This is a safety hazard and this facility should NOT be conducting any type of swim lessons. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. YOUR KIDS MAY DROWN. NO TRAINED PERSONNEL.

I was super excited when I found out there were only 3 women in the group. I wasn't excited anymore after 2nd session. During the first session I learned that one of women in the group already knew how to swim and she was there to learn how to lap swim. So basically she already knew how to do free style and could swim from one end to the other end of pool without any problem. She just wanted to polish and refine her techniques. She should have taken an intermediate swim lesson, not a basic lesson. Oh, and a private lesson, not a group lesson. I started feeling uneasy when I noticed the coach spent way more time with that woman than rest of us. The coach spent about 15 mins with her and maybe 5 mins with rest of us each time. It was obvious that woman acting like this was her own private lesson, kept on asking the coach tons of questions, interrupting that short 5 min session that the coach was having with another student by asking her to check her own techniques. I know there is always a person who would think she/he is entitled to do so. Then it should be the coach who needs to split the time equally for each student because this is a group lesson, not a private lesson, but the coach failed to do that. So if you are interested in taking a group lesson, look elsewhere.

An older customer directed racist language and derogatory comments toward another member, and the situation escalated quickly. At one point, I felt that the older man's behavior became threatening, by saying what he would do to the black guy after he responded to him for speaking down to him. When the black guy said your mama, after being called a slur, I was sure things were way past fixing. The interaction felt hostile rather than respectful or appropriate for a gym environment. When the other member stood up and responded, the older man left to speak with management. From what I observed, it appeared management may have taken the older man's side without fully understanding what was happening. I've also seen this same customer act rudely toward others in the past, particularly around personal space and how he interacts with members waiting for or using equipment. I'm reporting this because threats and racist conduct have no place in a fitness facility. I have experienced it also but I hope management takes complaints seriously, investigates thoroughly, and ensures members feel safe.

He was one of the best examples of exceptional customer service I've seen in a long time. Layvin was welcoming, professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable when it came to water safety. You could tell he takes his responsibility seriously while still making sure everyone is comfortable, having fun, and enjoying their time at the facility. His awareness, communication, and ability to explain safety procedures gave us a lot of confidence while being around the water. Great facilities are important, but the people working there are what really make the experience memorable. Layvin represented Plunge San Diego exceptionally well and deserves recognition for going above and beyond. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Plunge San Diego for anyone looking for a fun, safe, and welcoming experience!

    This is our third year as members and we've hosted our kids' birthdays here as well. We also gift…read moreour friends guest passes because it's a treat to swim here. We love the pool, obstacle course, and amenities (showers, etc). We arrive at opening and always find parking. Here's why I'm giving 3 stars and may not renew my pass for next year. The fun you have is dependent on who is on staff that day. I don't know what happened between this year and last, but this year is not great. Some lifeguards and people at the desk are so rude. On one hand, I'm sympathetic because I know these jobs can be seasonal and you have to train new people, deal with customers, safety, etc, etc. But they create so much confusion and then they're rude when you follow the rule someone else on staff gave you. Then you tell them another person told you to do that and they act like you pulled this info out of your own butt. Last time I was there, I was going back and forth from the pool to the desk because the lifeguard and desk staff couldn't agree on whether my kids needed wristbands. Like I said, if this is just confusion between newer staff, that's fine, I feel for you. But they were both SO rude about it and were getting annoyed with me ‍ This is just the recent example, but it's now probably half our visits that there's some weird triangulation between me and two staff members telling me different things. There are some people who work here that are awesome and friendly. When they do swim tests, they speak clearly to the kids and give instructions/expectations clearly. They're straightforward and friendly when we check in. I think he might be a manager (he wears the pit vipers and has facial hair), he's super friendly although I don't see him that much any more. Sorry I don't know their names, but always relieved when they're there (and coincidentally they all seem to be on the same page with the rules/expectations ).
