Giammona Pool at Westmoor High School

This is an EXCELLENT pool option in the San Francisco airport area. It's designed like a number of great California pools (e.g., Irvine down south, Burlingame, etc.) with deep flow-over troughs, so has minimal wave action. Two working pace clocks, a crisp temperature, and ultra-clean water. Whereas most California pools scrimp on locker rooms, these were clean, plentiful, and had working lockers. The location is right off the 280 and it took me about 15 minutes to get to from my hotel near the airport. It's indoors, so you don't have to be a tough, California, outdoor swimmer when the temperatures dip in the Bay Area.

It's a good pool with clean water. Relatively new facilities. [Opened in October, 2010.] Six lanes were open for lap swim when I was there on a Saturday morning and at least one was always empty while I was there. There was a class with a lot of kids in the shallow end, which looked like fun and was well-supervised. Only open for lap swim until noon on Saturdays unfortunately. Showers are hot and the locker rooms are clean.
