North Beach Pool 661 Lombard Street, San Francisco, CA 94133

"I love the convenience of this pool however PLEASE consider changing your hours so that folks working a typical 9-5pm can actually come swim. Right now, the only options are Friday evening and Saturday. Otherwise, the pool is NOT open in the evenings nor on Sundays, which would be the most ideal time for a swim. It's really hard to be able to fit swimming into my schedule because of the unusual hours."

"The North Beach Pool has an interesting set up. There are actually 2 separate pools in this facility- one “cold” pool, ranging between 77-78° F, and one “warm” pool, ranging between 86-88° F. The differing temperatures in the two distinct pools strike me as odd. The temperatures aren’t as extreme as you might find in a day spa- contrasting a hot tub session with a cold plunge. It was a small facility, and I would anticipate that 4 lanes total, 2 for serious lap swimmers, would get crowded at times. However, when I visited, there were max 3 people in the cold pool, which was manageable."

"I am a retired professional swimmer, new to the city, and looking for my new spot to swim laps. North Beach Pool was just OK. The pool is located in a bustling part of San Francisco- right on Lombard, and you can expect to circle the block for parking. I did expect this ahead of time, and was pleasantly surprised to only circle once & find parking on Chestnut- just 1 block away. $7 is the fee for lap swim, standard at all SF city pools. When I visited in April 2022, they were only accepting cash. The North Beach Pool has an interesting set up.

There is a communal shower space, lockers for day use, and curtained changed areas, and a swim suit dryer. Although it is definitely dated, it didn’t feel particularly dirty or inadequate. The North Beach pool space is definitely a bare-bones facility, but the warm pool and the sauna make this a good spot for anyone seeking warm water therapy or just a nice recovery swim session."
