Van Ness Pool in Los Angeles, California

“My 2 young ones got swimming lessons this summer at this pool and another one close by and wow I love the patience and dedication the teacher have towards the children here. They will give extra support to those who need it more. I highly recommend this pool. Love that the showers are always clean and we get to shower with warm water. I just don't like the timer on the shower heads it's too short but nothing I can't ”

“Clean pool terrible staff. I came early in the morning to ask about a kids swimming program and it took 20mins and me repeating the same sentence over 10 times to get answer on if there were open spaces or not. Then I come back to them saying oh no he's 3 1/2 not 3yr old so he couldn't take the parent and child class. Lifeguards thumbs down, urgency in customer service thumbs down.”

“The swimming lessons and staff were good last year this year the staff is not as professional and have a attitude towards black people like some people can go in with no swim suit ( white and some Latinos ) if you are coming in with ur children and they are swimming and u r not they say u can't come in with no swim suit I've seen people go in with no swim suit on that were not swimming and others get turned away that”

“Very unorganized, not strict with rules as far as parents/guardians by the pool with their children w/o swimming attire. Not trying to make it a race thing, but it soooo farrr seems like it. They choose who they want to relay the msg to and not to. Not sending my child here for next summer's swimming class”

“I was there to take my kids. It is a very nice place and clean. I did come by this place and saw it when it was been built and now that I saw it from the inside I am amazed. I did find out who built it. SHOUT OUT to the construction crew that did this amazing job and also did that GYM next door building METRO BUILDERS AND ENGINEER GROUP LTD. The architect designs it, the engineers plan it but the real work is done by”

“This is a really nice pool. The facilities are clean and they offer so many FREE classes for teaching kids (and adults) how to swim! Plus, it is a saltwater pool! In my opinion, saltwater pools are so much nicer than chlorine pools. The water is gentler on your skin and there is none of that chlorine smell! You should definitely check the pool out and all of the programs they offer. This place is a gem.”
