This pool facility is very nice. The staff is great, facility is clean, and the pool is not over crowded. The water temp is comfortable. I come here during the week to do open swim (I do the walking and swimming without lanes.) They have weights and noodles you can use as well as kickboards. You can pay for monthly classes or do drop-ins. Chula Vista residents and senior citizens get in for $7. read more

Outdated pool and locker room, no secure locker, not able to bring your own lock. The lady in charge of the pool operation is mean, and rude. Apparently she's been working there for long time and doesn't care about the customer. There are many seniors with walkers, canes and wheels chairs and she just doesn't care about their well being. Her focus is to lock up the door as soon as the pool closes. The pool hours are still on pandemic operating hours, it closes at 2.30pm till 4pm???? Why close the pool in the middle of the day and weekend? The hours are not clearly posted on the entrance, only in fine print. The city of Chula Vista has the funds to run the facility with longer hours but don't. If the city pay lifeguards according to market rate, they can find lifeguards. The YMCA has 6 lifeguards for a pool smaller than this pool. The worst locker room, shower only drip when more than 1 person turn it on. The shower tower is the same type on public beaches, it's not acceptable in 2024. Chula Vista funding is not well spent for the general public, instead, the funding is spent on the wealthy East Lake areas! read more

I absolutely love this place . The staff is very helpful and are very nice. They have an Exercise aquatics class and it is so much fun . I made a lot of new friends. If you're in the area stop in and get your fitness on. Classes are Monday , Wednesday and Friday but they're open Monday-Friday some Saturdays read more

The swimming classes they offer are perfect to keep the kids active during school breaks, now my 5yr old child knows the basics of beginners swimming. My 9 year old does not like much physical activity but these classes keep her physically active and she has also learned more advance swimming. I would definitely recommend signing your kids up! It's worth it! Especially the two weeks lessons. read more

I've been a part of the "parent and tots" class 3x now. This summer, the instructors were better than ever. We got lucky with an instructor named Sara. She was really good with all the kids in the class, and took time to help every child during our 1/2 hr class. My daughter learned a lot and loved it so much that we signed her up for another class. The pool is heated and really clean. The whole staff is really nice and helpful as well. Only negative is the condition of the showers, changing areas, and restrooms. They probably haven't been updated since the 80's. But other than that... It's a great facility with great staff. read more

I had my daughter (5 years old) in a six week session , and it's safe to say I won't be bringing her back. The only good instructor she had was Justin , he was kind to the kids very patient and gave each child his time! That was the first two weeks after that I couldn't even tell you the names of her other instructors I would ask anything and it would be attitude, for whatever reason they had to make up a class not ask the parents or anything just assume it would be fine to stay an extra 10 min Mon- Thurs. Honestly feel like my daughter didn't learn anything after the first two weeks. It's legit a repeat . $130+ and it's not worth it! read more

I grew up swimming here and I now bring my little one. I've brought her for 3 summers worth of Parent & Tot lessons (available for ages 6mo-3 years) and she's now swimming on her own! ...Only in short bursts... but still exciting! The staff is professional and personable, and we have enjoyed all of our sessions over the three years. The pool itself is heated and comfortable, though it can be a bit chilly during the evening sessions. We also love coming to Rec swim, which runs mid-June through July. I wish they kept their hours for a couple more months! Unfortunately CVESD and SUHSD start school in July so naturally they don't keep it open past then. They do still offer adult lap swim, however. We love Parkway! read more

Just called; reception was not very friendly. It's $53 if you're not a Chula Vista resident and $35 if you're Chula Vista Resident. No discount for 2 kids and no military discount either. I didn't feel that she wanted my business. One question and one answer as either yes or no. Pretty disappointed. read more

First of all I'm terrified of the water so basically I'm a 41 year old woman that can't swim in San Diego. I decided to sign up for their summer swim classes which meets up four consecutive Saturdays for the month that you signed up for. I completed my third swimming lesson today and for the first time in my life I went across the swimming pool all by myself with the assistance of the kick board. I have to give credit where credit is due to my swim instructor, Riley. He was so patient with me and dealt with my fear of putting my face in the water in a very calm manner. He recommended that I use the pool Noodle and pool belt. I asked him never to leave my side because of my fear of drowning and he didn't leave my side at all. Oh the swimming classes are 30 mins long. I don't think I'll be a proficient swimmer by next Saturday so I signed up for more swimming lessons in August. It is a good idea to arrive at least 30 to 40 mins early to find parking since it is park of the Chula Vista Rec Center. Looks like there are street parking available too. I highly recommend this place for anyone who want swimming lessons at any age. You can go on their website for more detail information. I think I paid like $26 or $27 which included some non resident fee because I don't live in Chula Vista. read more

Great swim instructors, affordable prices for swim lessons. Just hope they open lap swimming for 10 to 18 for young adults who wishes to exercise. read more

Went in for open swim was told no open swim and that's it. Then saw an open swim flyer for that same day just at a different time. Went back and asked the lady in the front and all she said was "oh yeah". One of the only pools in this area and they have limited open swim hours and unhelpful staff. Doesn't seem to serve the community very well. read more

Friendly staff, easy website to sign up my little one for classes. We recently took their swim class, the instructor Danny managed a class of 5 rambunctious 5 year olds very well! My son finally has learned the basics of swimming and conquered his fear of dunking his head under the water. I got more than my money's worth I am super satisfied. The pool was super clean as were the locker rooms. read more

Very Professional staff. My three year just finished her lessons and she went from being afraid of getting her face wet to "I can do it, I don't need your help" in just two weeks. Aldo is an excellent instructor that lets the children learn at thier own pace, which made it less stressful for me the mommy. The toddler swimming lessons were a wonderful experience all around, I would recommend this facility for swimming lessons to anyone. read more
