About
Public swimming pool that's good for kids.
The main competition lap pool at the Healdsburg Swim Center is generally heated and maintained at a comfortable temperature, typically around 78-80°F (25.5-26.7°C). Temperatures for other pools, such as the recreational or shallow play areas, are also usually kept at comfortable levels for swimmers.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This swimming facility is widely praised as a "hidden gem" and an excellent choice for laps, featuring a large, deep main pool (25m, up to 13ft deep with 8 lanes) and mild water. It also offers a diving board, a slide, and a shallow wading pool for children, along with accessibility features like an aquatic lift and ramp. The staff are frequently described as amazing, friendly, and helpful, and the facility is noted for its cleanliness despite being older, with ample parking. However, common criticisms include limited and fluctuating operating hours, with a desire for winter availability. A significant concern revolves around inconsistent lifeguard rule enforcement, which some visitors, particularly families with children, found arbitrary and disruptive due to unclear rules and frequent, lengthy timeouts.

Great hidden gem to swim. Limited and changing hours throughout the year. Wish they were also open in the winter. Lots of open parking. Next to Healdsburg high school.

Best pool ever. Staff are amazing and super friendly/helpful. The big pool is 25 meters across and has 8 lap lanes in the morning and evenings. In the shallow end it is 4ft deep and the deep end in 13ft deep. The wading pool ranges from 2ft to 3ft, perfect for small kids. The big pool has a diving board and slide and has an aquatic lift for access for people with mobitlity problems. The small pool has a ramp.

ABSOLUTELY the worst experience ever! Basically if you want to take your kids and have fun this isn’t the place. The lifeguards are making up rules as they go. Putting my kids on timeouts for 30 mins. Not explaining prior what the rules are etc. just throwing out warnings and after 3 warnings your in timeout. They swam 20 minutes and 10 minutes in timeout and that was enough

old facility but kept really clean. The main pool is huge at 13 plus feet deep, and is probably the best pool I've found for laps as there are always lanes available and the water is never harsh- one of the few pools I could go without goggles if I needed . Friendly staff too
