King Park Swimming Pool

I would not recommend this pool as it is extremely crowded. I actually felt it was dangerous. This is an intercity pool experience. Staff is very nice and facility was okay. I’ll never go back.

Well I don’t usually write negative reviews, I’m all positive vives but I this case I will. The pool is always very crowded but that’s not the bad thing here. What it dissatisfied me was how dirty the pools are, looks like there is almost no maintenance. All around the big pool is all green and slimy and the floors in the shower have mold all over ew… so I never took my kids back because I was afraid they would get something on their feet. the water is keep a little warm that is a + but they definatelly need to clean that place please!

My 12yrs old son went… he had fun but said a lot of kids dont have home training and staff dont pay much attention.
BUT… if they had a season summer swim pass id buy it. My son also needs to learn to deal with people outside his comfort zone.

As a goal of mine to get back into shape this summer, I returned to a pool I frequent when I was younger. King Pool offers lap swim various hours throughout the week. Check the hours online for exact hours.
(for summer 2015 hours)
I went on a Tuesday for the two hour lap session for $ 3 ($ 2 for 50 y/​o and older or under 18). There were a good amount of people swimming, mostly the older crowd. The pool offers 8 lanes so if you might get your own lane if you’re lucky.
What I like about this place is that it’s clean, the lifeguards play music while you swim, and it has a parking lot right out front. The pool is located near LBCC PCH campus and it is not in the safest neighborhood so I do appreciate that there’s a private parking lot right in front.
They also offer water exercise classes and it’s free for people 50 or older so if you have parents or grandparents that are looking to get some exercise in, come check it out!

We have had both our boys in the city run swim classes for nearly two years.
The facilities are always clean.
The instructors are great with the kids.
10 lessons for $ 40…can’t beat that.
As far as ghetto from a previous review… the facility is not at all. There are rules for a reason.

the place is nice the front desk guy was very kind and gave great customer service ! only thing is they don’t have lanes for lap swimming it’s just an open pool.

A great clean pool for the community to take a dip in or to teach children how to swim. Please check out their hours of operations and come spring/​summer time it’s a great safe place to have kids cool off.

My kids have been taking lessons here since we first moved to Long Beach. You can’t beat the price and low class size at some times during the year. It may not be the in the best neighborhood but we have never had a problem. The teachers are great too!

This is a family pool and the staff is hella cool. If you don’t like the rules don’t come to the pool. I suggest you buy yiur own pool and don’t bother the people that are looking out for your safety, period.

Don’t go there. People are ghetto. People are so Ghetto that they made so much rules. I have 2 toddlers and there were two pools, but they would not let us use the pool that is not so deep. They would not let my daughter piggy back riding me. Hello! I am holding two toddlers.
Everybody is splashing in there.
If you like ghetto place with so much rules, this is the place for you.

Parent and me swim classes are great so far. It’s not a formal lesson but really intended to make the child comfortable with the water and understand some of the basic commands like kick, paddle, blow bubbles, hold your breath and duck. I really like that they have some benches and tables near the pool so I can actually sit and watch the swim lessons, rather than have to stand on the sidelines the whole time. Class is about 30mins long, and they encourage swimming with little toys like pails, rubber duckys, swim noodles and the little paddle boards. My son is having a blast. $ 37 for 10 Saturday sessions. Can’t beat it.
This place has two pools with the largest going from 5ft to as deep as12ft. The smaller pool is about 3^rd all around. They have 2 diving boards. Although there are several classes or groups learning at the pool as the same time, the groups are well separated enough that the toddler group doesn’t really get affected by the bigger kids activities.
Small facility but bigger isn’t necessary better for this class. The changing room areas have plenty of lockers, separate toilet and separate shower areas. Overall it’s kept pretty clean, just need people to pick up after themselves for the most part. The changing rooms are locked, so you have to wait to be buzzed in, but there’s typically someone always upfront. The staff are young, but very nice. Never get or seen any of the teenage rude attitudes. However, the lobby window to speak to someone is so low that you have to bend over to talk to the staff, who are also bending down.
Parking is okay with some right up front and around the side by the park. The area is sketchy, so we try to park as close to the front as possible. And although the lobby area isn’t the biggest, a couple of chairs or even a bench would be nice for people to sit on, while waiting for people to come out of the locker rooms.

This is a great place for keeping fit year round, especially for Seniors. The park has a shallow water exercise class that meets Tue, Th, and Fri. @ 8a that is invigorating, fun, diverse, and FREE for Seniors 50+. The pool is well maintained and warmer that some of the others city pools I have used.
