Poway Community Swim Center

We had a great time here! This is an outdoor, salt water pool that is heated to 80 – 85 degrees. Open year round. We are non-​residents so we paid $ 5 for adults and $ 4 for kids. I believe it’s $ 2.50 if you’re a resident. My Mom and I watched while others swam and we did not have to pay.
There are lifeguards, swim lanes, diving boards and well-​equipped locker rooms. There is a wading pool, although it wasn’t open when we were there. It was so nice to have a place to swim with our kids after all the local water parks had closed for the season.
The pool is hard to find if you’re using your phone GPS. We ended up calling and an employee directed us to the right location. There are at least two playgrounds nearby and a skate park. Super cool area!

This review is for the kids swim classes. I’ve had my kiddos in spring, summer and fall classes. All instructors aren’t the same but for the majority of the classes, my kids got a great instructor. Prices are reasonable. Class size is no more than 5 – 6. there have been a few classes where some of the kids refused to go in the water which made the class size even smaller. Which leads me to perhaps one negative, if you have a child who is stubborn and won’t go into the water, you could potential waste your money on a class. The instructors will push a little but will not force them in which I sometimes think is needed.

Great pool & diving boards !!! Can get really crowded when its warm.
Swim teams practice here during the week bug they still leave a couple lanes for lap swim.
