Bring your kids here to swim and improve to a competing level or parents can just come here to swim when time allows. This place has been around for a long time so feel safe bringing your kids here. Overall would recommend it. For some it may be pricy but well worth the money if you want your kids to get interested in something other than just gaming. These pictures were taken in late November 2021 and the water was heated at 8AM hence the steamy pool. I'm a General Contractor and my company is at InnovativeConstructions.US. I try to provide information to anyone who can use it. Hope they help. Maybe let me know your thoughts.

This facility offers numerous programs for people of all ages. They have a great club swim team program. The facility is well kept. There is plenty of parking.

Cassie is such an amazing teacher. She has taught my son to swim in a short time by gaining his trust and making it fun and enjoyable! He was petrified to even put his ears in the water before he started with Cassie.

2nd update: we came to a satisfactory conclusion! It took some kind communication. But ultimately we were able to find a solution that worked for both sides. The facility itself is beautiful and I'm glad to feel comfortable using it again in the future after all of that. But I will ask a lot of questions before purchasing a pass in the future if I'm ever considering it again!! Update: STRICT refund policies. Spoke with someone who was helpful and compassionate. I still don't agree with the policies, but appreciated that the representative empathized and seemed to care. Original post: Bad business practices. Will update if anything changes. In the process of trying to get a refund for my monthly pass. I purchased because they had lap swim available at a time that worked for me. 3 visits later they started hosting swim lessons at that time and the wait for a lap swim lane became over an hour. They're refusing a refund, even partial, which is unethical as the pass was sold to me with no warning that the swim lessons would be starting, and I would not have purchased it had I known. I planned to use the pass at least 2x per week for 4 weeks which would have worked out to $8.75 or less per visit. Since I was only able to use it 3 times, it ended up costing me over $21 per visit, which is even more outrageous than the $14 day pass. Plus, I drove 40 minutes each way to the pool a fourth time to find out i couldn't swim, which was a waste of time and gas money.

Huge pools with lots of staff. Swimming lessons look like fun! The student/teacher ratio was great. A very busy place.

Staff and directors just work to collect a paycheck, not caring how to run a facility and caring for customer service. I could honestly tell you staff could come out a bit bias or racist sometimes. I mean get it together people treat people with respect. I see how staff treats people differently according to their appearance. Not groovy at all man.

Large sports complex, accessible for tourists. Pools outside were really warm when I visited during spring. Most lanes were being used for classes so there wasn't much left for adults to casually use. The lanes were split horizontally so they're much shorter than expected!

Great spacious place very satisfied thanks to my good friend who works there LilitA showed me this place. She recommended so i came to get some strokes in with my boyfriend. Its always active here and they have their own parking. Beautiful location. CLEAN. Thank you!

Lilit was very helpful over the phone and later when we came on by. Tons of activities The kids love it here and area is beautiful. Thank you

Swimming pool for all ages: babies to seniors.

This what a pool would be if it was run by the fussiest person from the fussiest HOA. The rec swim (ostensibly short for recreation, which I think the namer did not understand) does not allow toys (rubber ducks I mean, not giant rings), floaties, jumping, diving, or any other kind of recreation. You may only swim with a serious expression and a serious demeanor. Zere vil be no fun except ze fun of a nice, orderly, fascist svim

I used to love going here, regardless of how expensive it is and how crowded it gets. But I got lessons once to improve my technique avoid injury, since I am not privileged and never got lessons as a kid ...I was literally humiliated and made fun of by my instructor. It got to the point that even other swimmers looked and shook their heads at him. I was so embarrassed. This place is elitist and disgusting. I also ended up getting an injury and had to stop swimming. Thanks very much.

The instructors are top of the line... I look forward to EVERY class of Senior Splash!

Great place, has 2 pools and 1 of them is a heated pool, and they have 2 hot tubs

Great knowledgeable staff, clean pools and locker rooms. Pleasant guests and sparkling clean water. The maintenance staff has everything in working order and a great attitude. Thank you for protecting this jewel in Pasadena.

Watching my almost 2 yr old in swim classes. Mother says water nice and warm.....till you get out😂

Very positive experience learning swimming. I took private lessons and felt the coaches were excellent. They tailored recommendations to my level of swimming and offered solutions for some of my faulty techniques. Pool is clean. The recreational pool schedule can be found online and also by calling their call center- this is to confirm lane availability as the lanes can be occupied with swim lessons or other activities.

Great clean safe excercising facility! Instructors like JC and Wendy make it the best! Any one looking to safely lose weight and strengthen every part of their body needs to try swimming and water aerobics!!!

Good facility, but pool can get super dirty. Watched most people get in unshowered during morning lane swims. Eventually so grossed out I just let my expensive pass run out unused. They need to start enforcing showering before swimming. Seeking new pool after giving them multiple tries over the years.

Amazing faculty and training offerings. The instruction for kids is top notch.

The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center in Pasadena is a fantastic facility for swimmers of all levels. The pools are clean and well-maintained, providing a refreshing experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment. With a range of amenities, including diving platforms and a fitness center, there's something for everyone. The picturesque location adds to the overall charm of the center. Whether you're a serious athlete or simply looking for a place to relax and swim, the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center is a wonderful choice.

One of a few places has an Olympic size pool. There are two Olympic size pools, one is mainly used for competitive swimming, the other for classes and recreation. It's relatively busy throughout the day, very busy during the prime hour (early morning, after school), many swim, water polo, diving, aqua aerobic, therapy programs, etc. are offered for all ages, but mostly for kids. I think the rate here is reasonable, monthly/annual pass, classes and lessons. A day pass for recreational pool is $2-$3, which only allows to swim in a small area, shallow end of the recreational pool. This is more for parents play with little kids, not for swim practice with kick boards or other water toys which are not allowed. A day pass for swimming is $15+ (raised the rates recently, please check the website), which allow to swim at lap swim lane either Olympic or recreational pool during the public lap swim hour. The water temperature is consistent, Olympic pool, 78-80F. The recreation pool is very warm at 82 to 86F. The recreational pool often closes due to contamination at last minute with no prior notice. It happens usually during the summer break, when there are many young kids in the swim lessons. If I remember correctly, the make-up policy for missing classes only with doctor's note. No other excuses like vacation are accepted. When the pool is closed due to unexpected contamination or maintenance, automatic make-up or credit. A small pro shop at the location, it's convenient, but watch that all items are NO REFUND, some items even NO RETURN. No warning or no inform to customers about their policy in advance.

The RBAC is a world-class swimming and physical therapy facility in our own backyard. It now operates near its pre-COVID capacity. Check it out.

My Negative Review. We arrived at 4:00 pm we were told to wait outside we got in line there were only about 30 people in 20 minutes started to run exactly half of the people started running the other half with children were told to go home sorry goodbye terrible place very unfriendly staff will never come here again and i do not advise you!!!

Uncivilized staff! They laughed in the face after they didn’t let 10 people with children in, they didn’t care that the children were crying and waiting for 30 minutes near the entrance!

A holiday visit to get my lap swimming. Professional and long hours. Reliable. A bit pricey but open when many are closed.

RBAC USED to be the best facility in LA for lap swimming. Now it has turned into a rich child care center for parents of kids willing to pay exhorbitant fees the past 12 months. For ex. I went this Thursday PM and there were only TWO LANES AVAILABLE for lap swimming out of two Olympic size pools capable of 50 twenty five yards lanes. This arrangement has been typical for the past 2 years. I used to have annual membership, now max is 6 months with a “note” stating “annual available soon” now for at least two months I guess “soon” in Cantonese or Mandarin means “never”. I’m not trying to be funny or disrespectful but at least 5-6 lanes available for a very expensive membership is only a minimum requirement. I hope there’s change by “yesterday” a swimming health fan
