Janet Evans Swim Complex

Best place to take Swim lessons. Period!
Take it from someone who has had their share of water trauma, when I was a teenager, in numerous California swimming pools by other teens. Thank God those years are over, Gees!
I signed up for lessons in 2009 and I was swimming within two sessions. Thanks Janet Evans Swim Complex! The staff were great.

There are only so many pools in Fullerton that provide the proper space for athletic events and recreational activities. On November 13, 2014, I worked my shift, teaching swim lessons.
The Janet Evans Swim Complex is not run by the city. It’s well kept and clean and is a hidden gem. It has two pools; a small twenty-​five meter pool with eight lanes that goes three to five feet deep and a fifty meter pool with sixteen lanes that can be re-​adjusted to suit short course meets. (Twenty five meter length lanes) The large pool goes from four feet to thirteen feet and features two diving boards. The large pool is an «L» design, allowing for a thirty-​three meter section in the bottom of the «L» shape. The pools are complimented by a full eight-​lane scoreboard. Their is plenty of field space for multiple pop up tents and plenty of storage room for pool equipment. The entrance consists of a staff room with two staff bathrooms/​showers and two team bathrooms/​showers. The chlorine level is fare. I would recommend wearing goggles if a long swim is desired. FAST, the swim club that runs the pool, offers swim lessons for all ages and also a competitive swim team. As well as youth swim teams, FAST offers a master program for ages nineteen and above for anyone who wants to get a good workout and learn ways to improve their technique. As well as swimming, FAST now offers water polo introductions. The FAST community is coached by some of the most experienced coaches with collegiate and olympic experience.
Janet evens is located in Fullerton, California in Independents Park off of Commonwealth. This pool has been around since 1964 and has produced olympians like Janet Evens. As an employee, I love the community there and enjoy sharing my love and knowledge to the youth. If you love swimming or simple enjoy a fun day in the sun, stop by during open swim hours or check out the swim meets.

My son had been training with FAST (Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team) at this location since July. He seems to love it more than where we were before. This pool is nice and clean. The sitting area for the parents is scarced, as such, I have to lug my own lounge chairs and find a spot on the grass. The women locker room is quite filthy. I seriously avoid it if possible. Parking is plenty. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping centers near by when I want to escape the heat for a couple hours.
I would recommend this place if you want to learn how to swim. All of their instructors are certified through SwimAmerica, the official lessons programs of USA swimming.
3.5 stars — lack of sitting area and dirty locker room.

hey they have swim lessons here.
Luckily I’ve taught myself. if you want to learn or teach your kids this is the place to go to. Especially if you want to keep them active for the summer.
knowing how to swim never hurts ant they have a very nice pool. You would never know this place is there unless you’ve been her before.

My children have taken summer swim classes here for the past three years. Nice facility. The instructors are very patient and work well with the children. Good price on the two week classes. I would definitely recommend this business if you’re looking for swim classes.

I love this pool. Very nice cleanliness is fair enough compare to Fullerton Community Indoor pool. Has pull buoys and fins avail in case you have forgotten your own equipment. Although, a few times I’ve come home my spouse mentioned to me I spell like «Fish».
Lifeguards are awesome & very friendly. Swimmers are friendly as well, haven’t really met anyone who was not very kind here. MOST OF ALL EVERYONE HAS POOL ETIQUETTE.
One star was taken out due to the pool hours available. I wish this would have open early morning. Noon time is kinda tough to do where you are in the middle of an errand or something.
OVERALL it is one of the BEST PLACE TO SWIM. Less flip turns & more time to improve strokes.

Great pool for lap swim. A hidden gem!
Entrance — Nice friendly staff collects just $ 3 for lap swim.
Locker room — nice and clean with lockers. Bring your own lock.
Pool — fairly clean though you see some deposits at the deep end of pool.
Accessories — pull buoy, kick boards available.
People — fairly diverse and quite ok. Did not encounter stuck up swimmers. Lifeguards are great.
Overall very pleasant experience.
I took one star off because
a) there 25yard lanes are in the diving area and very deep! b) sediments in the deep end of pool.
(Perhaps not many have reviewed because they don’t want too many people to know)

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this pool yet.
This is a older pool located in Independence Park. It is an outdoor pool. The main part of the pool is 50 Meter pool by 25 yard pool. The far end of the pool is 33 ¹⁄₃ yards. Think of an «L» in block letters. During the short course season the lane lines are set up for both 25 yards and 33 yards. During the long course season which starts at the end of January, the lane lines are set up for 50 meters and 25 yards. The pool ranges from 4 feet deep to about 13 feet deep.
It is great for lap swimming especially during the short course season. During the short course season, it seems like they have a 1000 lanes! No lane sharing. I haven’t been there during long course season, but, it seems like lane sharing is inevitable since there would be less lanes available. As long as people practice good pool etiquette, it shoudn’t be a problem.
Hours: The hours suck. Monday thru Friday: 12 noon to 2PM, Saturdays: 12 noon to 3:30 PM. Unless I am in the area, I won’t be making a special trip here.
Cost: $ 3! They also have a 3, 6, and a 12 month pass. $ 3 is a very cheap price for lap swimming at a pool like this. Luckily the price is not inviting enough for the local riff raff.
Temperature: The water was perfect for lap swimming.
Training aids: They have kickboards and some pull buoys. There were some fins, but, do they ever clean those things?
Parking: Plenty of free parking.
Locker room/​Shower: They men’s locker room was ugly, old, and in disrepair. Some of the showers did not work. Bring your own locks for the lockers.
Overall, I like this pool. Swimming in 33 yard section is nice because you can focus on your stroke and do less flip turns. It is ackward to finish a 100 yards and end up on the other end of the pool. No pace clock here. The lifeguards were nice. One fo them tried to be nice to me by politely telling me that my flip turn was bad and gave me pointers on how to turn better. Nice pool to swim at. If only it were closer or had better hours. 3 ½ stars
