Facility Notes

The pool is longer than it is wide, but lap swimming is always done width-wise (20-yards).

The facility, built in 1936, was closed for almost eight months for a major refurbishment and reopened in March, 2003.

The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District also has a Facebook page.

Only 20 yards, but LOTS of lanes. it's also the only pool in the area that is consistent with hours and management. The regulars are nice folks and the etiquette is good (though there's no lane sharing, so the etiquette hasn't really been tested). Clean and decently priced. Quirky, but recommended.

There are no lane markers. The wake caused by the other swimmers makes it feel like you're swimming in the ocean.

Post-renovation, the pool is MUCH better; it's still only 20 yards long, but there are numerous lanes.
