Seal Beach Community Pool

Great pool for the kids, they love the open swim gif only $ 25 for the whole summer. My son also has taken 2 years of lessons and I’ve been happy with them. The pool is s little dated, but always clean and lots of staff to watch the kids.

Love coming here for open swim in the afternoons! The staff is always so nice and pool is always clean!

This is an outdoor pool located at the McGaugh Elementary School in Seal Beach. It is an «L» shaped pool. It is a very small 25 yard pool with six lanes. The person who told me about the pool told me that there are some very serious swimmers that use this pool. When I came here the other day at lunchtime, each lane had 3 or 4 swimmers in each lane. The swimmers here all knew each other and seemed to have good swim etiquette. Every lane had fast swimmers in it. They would’ve given me a serious workout if I had swam here.
Swimming here is difficult. It is a cashless pool. I was told by the lifeguard that she could not accept my money here. In order to swim here, you must go to Community Services department of the Seal Beach city hall to obtain a card. They have swim passes of 16, 34 and unlimited swims, or if you are like me and don’t want a swim pass, you could load up your card with a couple of dollars at a time. The lifeguard told me that a single swim is $ 3. Even though I had my swim workout earlier in the day, I was hoping that the lifeguard would allow me to try it out. But no luck. They have various hours that they are open for lap swimming. Monday through Friday from 5:30am to 7am, 11am to 1pm, and again from 6:30pm to 8pm. On weekends they are open from 8am to 12 noon.
The pool looked older and a little beat up. I didn’t see the locker rooms. I don’t like pools that are crowded. But, this would be a great place to swim because of the serious swimmers here. I’m willing to pay, I don’t like jumping through hoops for a pool that I would hardly ever use.
