About
The Pacific Lutheran University Swimming Pool, officially known as the Wallace Pool, is a key aquatic facility located at 849 124th St S, Tacoma, WA 98444, USA. It serves the university's athletic programs, students, and potentially the wider community, typically featuring a 25-yard, 6-lane competitive pool.
The main Wallace Pool generally maintains a water temperature between 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility also includes a Therapy Pool, which is typically kept at a warmer temperature of 90-92 degrees Fahrenheit.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The university swimming pool is generally clean, well-lit, and well-laid out, though the chlorine can be strong in the confined space. The swim lesson program is highly praised for its quality, low student-to-teacher ratios, and calm atmosphere, with children loving their instructors. Public swim times are available year-round. However, the bleachers for spectators are considered too small, announcements could be improved, and the locker rooms are noted as needing improvement.

It's just a regular university swimming pool. The pool is always clean but they still use chlorine. In a confined space with a big pool that gets tough on the lungs. My son has swim lessons here and it's a really great program. They have public swim times all year for a small fee, free if you go to PLU.

Best swim lessons in Tacoma in my opinion. Low student to teacher ratios for all levels, and a much calmer less distracting atmosphere than in a community center swim program.

Always fun to watch the swimmers. They have a great team. The bleachers to watch the game are way too small. Announcements of what's going on could be a lot better.

Great place, took my 8 year old for swim lessons, she loves them and adores her instructor Sarađź’ťI think we will continue to take her just because it's a great place to be

A good pool. Surprisingly well lit. And pretty well laid out. The locker rooms leave something to be desired, but the pool itself is good.
