Aztec Aquaplex in San Diego, California

“Pools, swimming lanes and diving boards can be used by students and faculty. Lots of lifeguards”

“Such a great idea for a day in the pool with my 7 and 9 year old girls. Spent the afternoon with 10 year old twins that also enjoyed their time! There are plenty of life guards and the kids have to pass a swim test before they can use the inflatables. It was a very reasonable price, I think $15 per child, plus parking (like $12??)”

“It's always surprisingly empty when it's not peak season. If you want to do some afternoon lapswimming then this is absolutely the place for it. Pool is always super clean, lifeguards are also just college students who aren't gonna bother you. There is also a hot tub, but it's sdsu so I don't trust that thing. Don't wanna know what's in there.”

“Pretty nice area :) they have a large number of chairs so they almost never run out. Really pretty pool though I wish it were a bit deeper and warmer. But still very nice :) the hot tub is good as well, but could be larger. Some of the chairs are old and could be replaced. But overall, it's really nice and I usually spend a bit of time here at least every other day.”

“Great venue for WP. limited space on pooldeck and traffic congestion is a small problem during multi-team tournaments. Please adjust your time accordingly. Love that there are vending machines with snacks and drinks”

“This place is a great affordable way to spend a day with the kids. Staff is nice, pool is warm and it's a very family atmosphere. Wish they had a snack bar but that's not worth knocking it for. This is slowly becoming out family summer tradition.”

“I find it deplorable that this public university pool is not open to the public (it used to be). Public pools have very limited hours, probably due to lack of funding, and private pools are very exclusive. It gets hot in San Diego; show some solidarity and offer more public opportunities for kids to cool off.”
