Baler Aquatic Center

"My daughter has been doing swimming lessons for a while now and has been enjoying it. However, the woman who runs this thing yells at kids and is a bit intimidating. My son started crying and hasn't been back since. It’s incredibly off-putting. These are children. Do better."

"I have been trying to bring my kid for community swim for the last month. They do not post online when they are closed to the public, so I got their schedule given to me the last time I came on a Saturday. So I then come when the schedule says it’s available to the community and I was turned away because apparently there was a private party and I quote “not enough people have showed up for community swim”. The hours for that are 1 - 4 and it was 1……obviously a lie and very RUDE! I was born and raised in Hollister and grew up swimming at the high school pool so naturally I wanted my Hollister born son to also have the same experience. So disappointed, please allow the community to have a few hours a week access to the pool!!!"

"Coached at the age group summer LC championship there in July. First time there, and it is an amazing pool! What a beautiful HS campus! Sooo far away! Haven't been to Hollister in a long time. We need a facility like that on Alameda!!"

"Age group championships went very well! Timers were punctual, uploads to Meet Mobile were very timely, snack bar offers were great, restrooms were clean, lots.of parking. For continued Safe Sport, I would like to see dedicated bathrooms for athletes only and have a monitor to help ensure adults and swimmers are using the dedicated one."

"Amazing pool facility and great locker rooms"
