Oh yes, I remember swimming in this pool. I loved this pool. The water feels great, not too hot nor cold, just perfect. I’m not sure what they did to the water, but it feels a lot lighter — that is, it’s easier to swim through and not feel the drag of the water. The pool has a shallow side too, for those just wading.
And did I mention the diving pool? It’s a second pool complete with diving boards. That’s right — you’re not supposed to dive in the main pool, although in the deep end, who’s going to stop you?
Only problem is… it’s definitely not free to get in.

This pool is amazing. You only pay a dollar during open swim sessions. They have life guards on duty. The water’s temperature is optimal. It’s a great place to swim if it doesn’t get too full. in that case, you would have to share lanes.

So, you know those new security cameras? I wouldn’t risk taking a midnight skinny dip anymore… hypothetically :(

The 10-​lane lap pool, located on CSULB’s north campus, is open to the public 5 days a week. It can be found between the Horn Center and the Engineering buildings, and its cheap! $ 1 to swim! A month long swim pass is available for $ 25, saving the regulars a couple bucks/​month. You dont have to be a student, they dont check IDs, and paying is typically by way of the honor system. Because of classes, water polo, and whatever else they do here, the pool is only available for «open lap swim» during limited hours, which is my only complaint. On the other hand, they are open all damn day, so thats a plus.
Early mornings are usually not overcrowded; afternoons get busier, often requiring swimmers to share lanes; and i have yet to swim here in the evenings. Its an outdoor pool, and the summer weather on campus is nice, so ive been using this place up like no other.
Fall (open-​lap swim) pool hours:
Mon — Fri: 6:30am-8am; 12pm-​1pm
Mon — Thur: 7pm-​8pm
