Youth and adult swim lessons, water aerobics, lap swimming and private rentals are also available. Please be advised that we are only open during the LAUSD summer, which is early June through the middle of August. Please call 310−217−9537 for more information regarding the pool’s programs and all the city of Gardena’s recreational opportunities! Swim lessons fill up early and are extremely affordable! Call the recreation office in May 2016 to find out the pre-​registration dates.

It’s in a convenient place but recreational swimming is only during the summer and for about an hour and a half on Wednesday and Friday.

Taking water aerobics. So fun and cheap $ 3. Monday and Thursday 7−8pm.
I think they’ve cleaned this pool up. It doesnt seem dirty anymore like it was when I was a kid.

Ah the memories I get thinking of this place. I swam here for about 6 years, I think. I actually learned how to swim by one of the instructors throwing me off the diving board. Then I joined the swim team. The coaches at this place are the best I could have had. Very effective.
The pool area is… typical urban. Not a place to vacation. During open swim, kids pee, there is grease on the top of the water, and sometimes weird things are found. Like poo, twix bars thrown in to masquerade as poo, and one time a raw squid. No Joke. The locker room is smelly, and I would really avoid showering here. Park bathroom, anyone?
The upside is that this place is cheap beyond cheap. 25 cents to get in for open swim, and 45 a month for swim team every day of the week for 2 hours. Nice deal
