About
Spacious facility featuring 3 outdoor pools, clean waters and welcoming staff.
Pool temperatures at the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center are generally maintained as follows: the 50-meter competition pool is typically heated to 78-80°F (25.5-26.7°C), the lap pool to 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C), and the recreational pool usually ranges from 82-84°F (27.8-28.9°C) for optimal comfort.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the Pleasanton pool are generally positive, highlighting its spaciousness, cleanliness, and suitability for all levels of swimmers, from beginners to advanced, and particularly for the senior community. It's also praised as a good venue for events and get-togethers, with both indoor and outdoor options. However, there are notable criticisms: the main water slide is currently out of use, there are strict rules for diving boards (e.g., no spinning or backward dives), and scheduled pool breaks can be inconvenient. Other minor issues include weak showers and the need to hire out catering and bar services for events, with music being restricted to inside venues with poor acoustics. One reviewer suggested the San Ramon Aquatic Center as a better alternative due to its splash pad and similar pricing.

Just letting everyone know their most exciting offer, the water slide, is not in use! It was a sad surprise to us. Also, they have a 15 minute kids-out-of-the-pool break at 2:30pm, which was a sad surprise as well, since we were just finishing our snack 5 minutes earlier and had to get out of the pool after just getting back in. Wish we knew these things! The pool is nice though, and not too crowded mid-week in the summer, even with the kid’s camps. Another note is they allow goggles while going off the diving boards, but not spinning, going off backwards, going off the side of the board, running off the board, or doing a vertical twirl. Lots of rules! Showers were clean but weak. Overall, the San Ramon Aquatic Center is better, because they have the amazing splash pad and it’s a similar price.

Great pool ... my wife and oldest son worked there in their youth ! Inside and outside venues are great for planned events like reunions or such. Our wedding reception was held there in 1976 ! Only downsides are the catering and bar services must be hired out, and any music (live or recorded) must be inside and the acoustics are not the greatest 🤔. Still recommended 😉
