San Fernando Regional Pool

Great pool with a gross locker room and the whole thing is run by mouth breathing teenagers. Don’t bother reading signs or asking about lap swim hours. They will provide you with the wrong information and tell you tough shit when you show up.

Lovely clean and spacious pools to enjoy lap and leisure swimming. The leisure pool gets as deep as 4ft6, so more than enough space to actually swim for those who are still learning. My little sister loved all the fountains and the water spouts for just some good olé’ splashing fun, and I’m totally recommending this to parents who are more into lap swimming.

The fact that this place is free makes it all worthwhile. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because there is inconsistency among the lifeguards. The other reason is because LifeGuards are just that, to guard lives, not be production security. I mean how ridiculous is it that you can’t even take pictures on their premises for your own use.

Great place to hang out in the summer. Lots of lifeguards to watch the kiddos.
Clean bathrooms.
Big pools
Diving boards
Small water park
Grass and shade
Fair priced (free)

The facilities are great but one of the lifeguards was super rude to my kids and to me! He was a young guy with dark hair and blonde tips. Clearly he had no people skills whatsoever. When my kids asked him what he had said to them, he told them that he was speaking English and should understand him. My kids speak English but the pool area was loud so they could not understand him. I can’t believe they allow such rude kids to work there without any training in common politeness. First and last time there but I guess that’s what they wanted.

I loved it! I went a couple of days ago and am definitely going back.
Lap swim is open year-​round.
The lap swim pool is very clean and there are many lanes to choose from.
Parking can be an issue if your looking to park in front during the busy hours but you can find plenty of parking on the street around the corner (really a short walking distance).

My daughter and I are in the parents toddler swimming class and couldn’t be any happier. She’s almost going to be two and is already swimming jumping in and out of the pool and has a blast dancing with all the other students and coach Gaby. She’s learned so much in such a short period of time. We just love the San Fernando pool and swimming program

This is a really nice pool complex. They have a large pool and a medium play pool with side very small kid areas. They have a water slide and the kid areas are those ones with fun get you wet play equipment and two inches of water. The whole place was super clean. However I do wonder why on a warm Saturday no one was at the pool???

Beautiful facility. It has slides and water features for the kids. It also has shade structures for the public. It has two pools. One for kiddies with the slides and water features and one 50 meter for lap swimmers and US programs. It also has 2 spring board diving boards. One is 3 meters and the other is 1 meter. Plus they have a grassy area which makes the pool area look very nice. The locker rooms are pretty nice and big but they look like they aren’t cleaned very well because they are kind of gloomy. They have plenty of restrooms, I would say about 10 stalls. The lobby is large with high ceilings. There is someone at the front desk in the lobby to give information to the patrons who come to the facility. The facility is gated so it gives it a sense of security.

This is one of the few lap swimming pools open during the day in the valley. I live in Sherman Oaks and when my regular pool is closed for repairs, it is always a struggle to find an pool open during the day. Their winter hours are M, W, Th 11:30AM-1:30PM and 6:30PM-7:30PM. The web site is not up to date with their info. The pool is never crowded. I have never had to share a lane. If you do lap swimming, this is certainly a rare occurrence! They occasionally have a long course, but usually it is 25 yards. The pool is staffed by 20 somethings, friendly and willing to help. The life guards actually watch the swimmers. The locker rooms are a bit dark and could use a good tile cleaning (hence the 4 stars). Some of the showers are broken. The cost for seniors is $ 2, such a deal! This would be my regular pool if it was not so far away.

Spent a Sunday here as part of the pool dives of my scuba course. There are two pools one is a shallow pool and the other a deep pool. We started in the shallow pool and then moved to the deep pool. Even though the venue was reserved for a couple of classes till 2 p.m. it was pretty crowded and after 2 p.m. when it opened up to the general public became crazy full. As we started early at 7 a.m. I managed to get street parking very easily else there is an unfinished lot just adjacent to the pool at its south end which can be used to park. There are a couple of life-​guards that keep a watchful eye on swimmers which is reassuring. I found both the pools and the changing areas to be very clean so no complaints there.
My advise would be to carry a lot of water proof sun screen and use it liberally as this is an open outdoor pool which gets very hot in the summer. I learned this the hard way when I got skin burned on the only part of my body that was out of the water i.e. the top of my head :).
Overall not a bad place to spend some time on a week day when it is not that crowded if you live nearby.

Please Don’t Come To This Pool… We Don’t Want Crowds!!! ;)
It’s a great pool, actually 2 pools… one for kids with slides and waterfalls and all sorts of water fun, tables, and even some grassy patches to sit. lay down or sun on. the other pool is for laps, diving and water polo as well as aqua exercise and rehab. There is always a lane for you and the pool height is the same as the water. The water is always clean and from what I understand on a different system from the kids water. showers are plenty and both communal and stalls for those who are shy. Parking can be great or a pain depending on the time of day and the day. It’s our little secret… keep it that way! ;)

This is a beautiful pool, and very well kept. Parking is a bear sometimes though, and parking enforcement treat s this like their only form of income… so beware! Make sure if you are parked in the 15 minute zone, you don’t stay for 16 minutes!

This pool is beautiful, spotless and fun. The lifeguards are friendly and helpful. The locker rooms are nice. In the summer, they operate a Subway restaurant. Some great teams work out there, including Rattler Swim Club and Los Angeles Splash! Synchronized Swimming.

Beautiful facilities for swimming. Pool is kept in fabulous shape as it should be since it is only a few years old. Locker rooms are clean.
