About Swanson Memorial Swimming Pool
Fourteen-and-a-half hours a week, that's what you get at Swanson Memorial Swimming Pool most of the year. Not a ton of time, but they do have Friday open a bit longer than the rest of the weekdays, and Saturday afternoons are an option. I know San Diego has a big population, over 1.3 million folks, so a public pool rated 4.6 stars from 41 reviews tells me it's probably pretty well-liked by the people who use it. It's operated by the city, so you'd expect a straightforward, no-frills public pool experience. If you're in the area on Governor Drive, it's worth checking their specific hours at (858) 552-1653 or on the sandiego.gov website before you plan your visit, especially since Sunday is a no-go.
