We absolutely love The Plunge San Diego! The facility is stunning—immaculately clean with a heated pool that’s cleverly divided between a fun obstacle course and a lap pool. The restrooms and lockers are spotless, the heated towels are a great touch, and there’s even a comfortable lounge area where parents can relax and watch their kids during lessons. Our experience with the instructors has been nothing short of amazing. Ian, our Level 1 instructor, was incredibly patient, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for working with kids. My two high-energy boys connected with him right away and made impressive progress—moving up to Level 2 in just four sessions! We’re now in the accelerated Level 2 program with Jeiny, and she’s been equally fantastic. Her calm but firm teaching style is exactly what my rambunctious boys need, and she balances structure with encouragement so well. I can’t recommend swim lessons at The Plunge enough—it’s been a wonderful experience for both me and my kids!

Love the Plunge Pool and its Adventure Day Camp is Amazing! The kids Adventure Camp has great programming to do active stuff all around Belmont Park and swim-- it's a vacation dream come true for kids and the staff all nice and great with the kids! Plus their flexible scheduling for 1 day up to the whole week is super helpful and even hot lunch available for purchase makes it fun for kids as well as their extended hours helps! Plus their themes for different summer camps and all the activities keep the kids from being bored and they are excited to do multiple weeks in the summer! The camp also worked out a good drop off and pick up drive through for camp that helps avoid any summer parking hassle. Also, we are long time Plunge members and always pleased with the pool with clean, great facilities and helpful staff! The kids swim lessons have always been positive and wonderful as well. Highly recommend!!

We recently booked a private event at The Plunge in Pacific Beach and had a wonderful experience. The facility is clean, beautiful, and well maintained. It was the perfect setting for our gathering. Jordan, the event coordinator, was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. He answered all of our questions during the initial call and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He stayed in contact throughout and made sure everything was ready for our event. The staff on site were kind, helpful, and attentive. From start to finish, we felt well taken care of. I would absolutely book another event here and highly recommend The Plunge to anyone looking for a great venue in San Diego.

My boys loved the Plunge San Diego Adventure Camp! The counselors were all awesome; Jacob, Ms. Princess and Ms. Devyn were their favorite! My boys felt comfortable and were beyond excited to go to camp everyday. They loved all the activities, escape room, laser tag, pool time and ride time. Drop off and pick up were very smooth! They were so sad to leave but we will be back for more! Thank you SDAC team for an amazing summer!

Update 2025- I paid $60 for 2 hours family of four. It does get packed during the weekends and afternoons. My 2 older kids enjoyed it- 9 & 7 , but my 3 year old did not since the older kids were rough, nothing to do with the facilities itself. I just wish there was something specifically for the younger ones. previous-1st experience An average pool. It has a little obstacle course for kids. My kids enjoyed it, we were there less than 2 hours. I got the family deal, 4 people for $70. I would say it is good for teenagers but not for families with little kids.
