Coggan Family Aquatic Complex

Tons of high school kids and classes all day long. Pool needs chlorine badly and the water temperature is not great for training.

Love this place. Rarely crowded (although as other reviewers have noted, check the schedule — they might be hosting a swim meet or a polo tourney), Masters program is included with the membership cost, which is cool, because you usually have to pay extra for that. Great, well maintained (H2O quality fantastic) outdoor pool.
Potential pitfalls: Parking during school hours can be problematic. The «locker» rooms are pathetic, especially as they have NO lockers. It’s just a place to change & shower.
Still, killer «almost new» aquatic facility. Plus they have a very well maintained website with all the necessary information. (

Excellent outdoor lap pool. Enormous. Plenty of lanes. Water condition is clean and temperature perfect; especially, when its sunny out. Not too crowded. However, check schedule for team sports activity. No lockers. Just showers and bench area to leave belongings and to change. Small jacuzzi that could fit 6 to 8 comfortably.

Yup! I’m a fan of the Coggan Aquatic Complex!
I’ve been around pools my entire life but never was I properly taught how to swim until 2009. That is the year that I joined Team in Training to complete my first Triathlon and I’ve been here countless times since.
Thanks to the awesome swim coaches with Team in Training, I quickly learned all the fundamental techniques of swimming and I can officially hold my own in the pool. I’m not the fastest but compared to where I started, i’m very pleased with my progress.
Unfortunately, we use the pools when the sun is down and it’s cold as heck but once you’re in and moving, you forget about the chill in the air. That is, until it’s time to get out.
An otherwise great swim facility that’s well lit at night and has decent showers. There’s hot water and that’s always a plus in my book. I just wish they had automatic pool covers. Since we’re the last ones to use the pool, we have to pull the covers up and that’s quite the challenge in itself.
Go TEAM!

Beautiful 50m pool in the wind n sea neighborhood of La Jolla, just steps from the ocean. Even though it is next to La Jolla High, it’s technically a private pool that the high school uses. It’s got plenty of lap swimming lanes open 7 days a week at most hours. It also has a great masters swim team (18+ coached workouts daily, I swim at noon!) and an age group team (18 and under). During the school year, parking can be tough mid-​day, but otherwise it’s the best pool in San Diego as far as access and quality. The biggest negative for me is the locker rooms, kinda small.
Most importantly, the hot tub is fantastic!
