About

Outdoor, 33-meter pool offering lap swimming and classes for adults and children.

The main pool at Temescal Pool is heated to a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.7 degrees Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The neighborhood pool is largely valued as a community resource, particularly for lap swimming, with users appreciating the comfortable water temperature and accessible, friendly atmosphere. Staff, especially a lifeguard named Titus, are highly praised for their kindness, helpfulness, and even life-saving actions. However, there are significant calls for updating and renovations, with concerns raised about pool cleanliness (dirt, bandaids, and poor water quality), ineffective recent repainting, and excessively hot shower temperatures. Users suggest the need for improved filtration systems and better facilities to manage the pool's popularity.

There was this nice worker named Titus. He’s always so helpful always so kind so nice very such a good lifeguard. One time I was about to drown he saved me he teach me how to swim. I love Titus. He’s the best guard I could ever ask for.

Very nice and accessible public swimming pool. Patrons are friendly and most would let faster swimmers pass without making a fuss.

Good pool but could do with some updating. There is always dirt or someone's bandaid/tape on the bottom of the pool, maybe a better filtration system or pump. They said the pool was shut down recently to repaint it but not sure what was repainted. It looks the same with the same chips. The staff is great but they can only do so much. It is a popular pool, so it really needs facilities to handle it. I wonder if there is a way to fund a renovation for it specifically?!

I’m genuinely so grateful for this neighborhood pool—it’s become my go-to spot for lap swimming. The water is consistently kept at a comfortable temperature in the 80s, making each swim enjoyable without that shocking cold start. The facility is well-maintained, and the pool itself is noticeably cleaner than the 24 Hour Fitness location I used to frequent. The locker room is simple but functional, with lockers and showers available, which makes post-swim transitions easy. Overall, it’s a fantastic community resource, and I feel lucky to have access to such a clean and comfortable lap pool.
