This place is nice! The mild saltwater pool is the perfect temp, and I enjoyed several hours there. I even loved playing basketball in the pool!(My only disappointment was having to shower in my bathing suit in the ladies locker room as there are no doors or curtains on the showers)Will visit again though....

The pool was so nice. I also used the sauna.

Great facility for lap swim, my husband and I never had a problem finding a lane even at peak times. Even better were the 1-1 swim classes for our 3yr and 5yr old! The kids loved loved, loved their 30mins with coach America who is an amazing instructor! Can’t say enough wonderful things about her and the progress we saw in our kids swimming technique!

The facility was very nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. Its smaller than it appears online. The kids side of the pool had a giant floating obstacle course which looked like good fun for ages 5-12 or so. Theyre is plenty of space for parents to lounge. The other side is about 8 lanes of deep lap swimming lanes. I needed to use the lanes for a swim test.I didnt use the showers or locker room so I cant comment on that.Overall its nice but kind of expensive. Considering its right next to Mission beach I wouldnt recommend going there over the ocean which is free unless you need the lanes

Facility itself was pretty cool. Staff fairly friendly. Decent hours. A little uncomfortable to have female staff wearing thong bathing suits around the children, teaching the swim classes. Very awkward convo I had have with my male adolescent clients.

Very nice facility, gave 4 stars because the locker room/showers leave a lot to be desired. My kids love playing on the inflatable wibit.

I saw a guy literally walk into the lap pool with a T shirt, shorts and STREET FLIP FLOPS/SLIPPERS. Im not making this up. When I asked the lifeguard if they could ask him to not to wear slippers in the lap pool, they told me, this guy has been coming here for a while, there is nothing we can do. I asked them wasnt it against the rules, the staffs response - well we dont think thats a violation of any rules because people wear swim shoes, flippers etc and besides the chlorine should disinfect most of it. I dont understand how on earth is wearing FLIPS FLOPS/SLIPPERS with a T shirt and shorts considered normal in a lap pool. The plunge website clearly states that only swim attire is allowed in the pool and no street shoes, yet they dismissed the concern. I really dont get it how or why are you guys are allowing someone to wear flip flops/slippers on a daily basis which the dude probably walks around in all day and has been stepping on god knows what on the streets and is bringing it directly into the pool and your lifeguards seem to be ok with it. Im surprised this isnt a violation of any health codes .@Plunge - Here is a copy of your rules from your websiteSwimwear is required upon entering the water. Swimwear should be properly fitted and shall not indecently expose parts of the body, be transparent, or display obscene or offensive pictures or slogans. Cut-off jeans, cargo or khaki shorts, pants or any other non-swimwear may not be worn.Only aquatic shoes are permitted in the pool, street shoes are not allowed..

This was my first time swimming at The Plunge since before the renovation. Wow, what a great job theyve done! My friend Steve invited me down as a guest. I really appreciated the cleanliness and the childrens playground addition. Im planning on bringing my whole family down now. Thank you Spencer for displaying amazing leadership with this facility. And shout out to Frankie for always having a positive attitude with exceptional customer service. Thanks Plunge Team!

Had a great time at plunge! Best thing to do on a day off with the family, well be be back soon!

Heated Pools when I walked in. I didnt swim. Very clean place. Allows outside food for partys. Obstacale courses inside pool. Staff getsba 5 star rating also.

Well I think is the best place in San Diego... for kids and adults for a fun day....

This is the best pool in San Diego! Whether you want a hard-core workout swimming laps, learning to swim, aerobic exercise in the water, swim team, or having fun with the kids in the aqua play ground, its all good! I also appreciate the spin bike, kettlebell, dumbell, and sauna addition addition to the side. The pool is connected to Fit Athletic club so you have the option to extend your membership to that side of the club, too. The positive customer service vibes from the team are certainly appreciated!! Brian, Kelsey, Mike, Neil, and Vanessa, thank you for always brightening our day! Spencer does a great job setting an example with his leadership. I tell everyone, every chance I can, where the cleanest state of the art pool in San Diego is- The Plunge in Mission Beach!

Open for everyone. Fun for family

Beautiful facility right at the beach! They have a floating obstacle course, volleyball court, sauna, spin bikes and nice locker rooms. Beach House restaurant serves drinks and food inside the pool area. Great place for the family and swimmers, super friendly and well trained staff!

We just got home from our morning lap swim at the Plunge and feel like sharing our gratitude for such a satisfying form of exercise. Water temperature at the Plunge is dependably set at a comfortable temperature. We swim an hour, three times weekly. We also participate in the water aerobics classes upon occasion. Our earliest visits to the Plunge were with our 10 year old grandson, who thoroughly enjoys every moment of the recreational activities, especially, the obstacle course. Swimming lessons and therapy are also available. Our membership is well worth the cost. Workers and other members are friendly and welcoming. They know us by name and treat us like family. We’re super grateful for the Plunge!

This is by far the best all around family pool in San Diego! Its clean, always looks fresh/new, and the workers are super friendly and helpful! I briefly met Frankie today, hes a very attentive lifeguard and shows a positive attitude whos always willing to help! I reccomed this pool to anyone, especially being by the beach with 84° pool water!

My son and I were able to walk in and get a lane right away. Water was a decent temp. Overall a good experience. We will definitely go again and work onnour swim speed.

We just celebrated my son’s 6th birthday 🥳. This is a great place. Angela and the entire team was very attentive, I forgot a lighter for birthday candle, good thing they had one:) they even offered to help bring things in and out. We had a great time and all of your friends loved it as well!

The obstacle course is great if your kid is big/strong enough to pull themselves up between obstacles. My 6 year old got stuck and could not get out unless you pulled them out.

Such an amazing place. I began coming to The Plunge for my Pool Physical Therapy. I liked the pool so much that both myself and husband have gotten a membership. It is nice that they offer use of pool equipment. That is a huge help for me to do my therapy exercises.The thing I am most impressed with is how kind the staff is. Just one visit after I got our membership I walked past the manager and he greeted me by name and asked how I was doing.

Seriously the coolest pool right on the beach!! I love that I can get a good swim workout in or even use the spin bikes and head to the beach right after!!!

Fun place for the kids and family. Plan an event.

We stumbled upon this gem when my kids were scootering around during our latest visit to CA. I decided to take the kids to one of the 3 hr open sessions since the weather was crummy. The guy who checked us in was so nice, the facilities were clean, there were not many people there. I have an 8 and 11 year old and they had fun (I did not swim). I think my only suggestion would be to reduce the price of the 3 hr session on weekdays, probably get more kids who just need a break from school (we were only there an hour)! So many kids are online/homeschooling these days. Overall we are glad we found it and are in CA almost every month so we will be back!

Awesome place to come...adults n kids.

This pool is AMAZING! One of the nicest and cleanest public pools I’ve EVER been to...wow!! The staff is very polite and professional, the water is heated to the perfect temperature, and they have an open roof and glass windows so you can see the beach and feel the ocean breeze while you swim! I love coming and always have the best experience. It’s great for all ages too (lap swim lanes for adults, a huge inflatable obstacle course for kids, and water basketball/volleyball for teens)...my four month old has been coming since she was born and she LOVES it since it isn’t too cold. Definitely recommend!!!!

Nice clean beautiful pool

This place is awesome! Definitely best pool in town. I love having the chance of training here.The pool and the gyms are just out of this world! Workout with a view all around

Ok so this was a good place to bring your kids in Summer time after or before beach. It usually costs $12 for kids of swimming and $15 for adults, and they give a military discount. I usually pay for them and sit and read. But i come in today (Monday which is not busy) out of nowhere I guess they tell me it’s an additional $5 if you’re going to hang out (so if I didn’t pay the kids who are minors would be in there by themselves)? Oh And no military discount when it’s on their board of prices and i ask why since I’ve been coming all summer with the kids. I was told it’s because they’re busy?? Not a fan of how they do business.. but i heard it depends on who’s at the front desk. So beware.

5 star pool, and VERY CLEAN! I am very pleased and happy with this facility. Ive been swimming for decades around the country, this pool is my favorite. Love the staff and the music they play. Also love the 20% discount I get everywhere I go for lunch just for being a member! Spencer and his team do an amazing job! Thank you!!

It’s tough to rate this a 1 because it’s such a beautiful facility and the water is so clean. But between the reservation policy and the staff, Plunge needs a pickup. It’s commonplace for 5 out of 7 lanes to be reserved for private groups without any notice other than finding out when you show up. Then the two open lanes can take up to 30-60 minutes to open without a person. While I’m fine w/ sharing pool lanes, individuals have the right to refuse to share, which I totally get given the pandemic. However, to have such a beautiful pool without a reservation system is ridiculous. Especially when they can operate at 30% lane capacity without any sort of notice.I’d recommend somewhere else unless you can wait around all day for a lane to open.

What an amazing, clean and refreshing pool! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have towel rentals and snacks for sale. Great way to spend the afternoon! My granddaughter loves it too! Keep up the good work team!

Incredible facilities, very friendly staff, and extremely clean. Have been using the Plunge for the past 2 months and it has been great! I feel safe while still be able to use everything I’d like.

Hella fun with family and friends

We love the plunge! i’m a professional swimmer and have swam in beautiful pools all over the world- the plunge is the most historic and nicest SD has to offer! there’s great music and it’s connection to FIT & location right on the beach makes it an amazing place for a workout!

This place Rocks!Hands down the most beautiful pool in SD. We have been visiting the plunge for the last two months. Lap swimming, unique environment, ventilation is excellent, great music!I will be back for sure!!

I grew up in San Diego and when going to Mission Beach would go to the plunge at times. It was a great place to enjoy the pool, before Covid19. I pray life gets better and can start going again

Super cool place, water was perfect if you stay active.

Why is this open during covid? Obviously this is why covid cases are high because first of all people are not social distancing themselves there and also nobody is wearing a mask while swimming. Thanks for contributing to the covid cases in California Plunge.

Wanted to charge me $100/month to watch my daughter swim her laps.

This place is Wonderful on so many accounts!!! I love the view and location right next to the ocean.There are several quaint restraunts outside to grab a bite. The Blowup water floaty (Win but) was ginormous and the kids were having a blast! I even attempted and it was quite fun, haha. The staff is amazing and friendly! DEFINITELY worth checking out and spending the day here!!!

Had good time great for birthday party. Kids & adults can swim.

Im older gentleman. But I find arrogant kids being 5ft lifequards yelling at the adults like they yell at the kids. These are not not lifeguards and cant go beyond the 5ft pool. Not your dedicated ocean lifeguards but I would consider them baby sitters. This place is ok. The mens locker room has no adequate drainage as there is always standing water while you dry off from a shower. Good place to take kids as long as you monitor them.

Very crowded! No 6 ft or 3ft or masks.

I joined in early January and swim at least 4 times a week. It was a long wait for it to reopen but well worth it.The pool is state of the art with a retractable roof that allows the sunshine in. The entire staff are courteous, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend this to people who are looking for a clean and nearby place to swim.

Awesome loved the obstacle course kid had a blast.

I love this place is the best always so clean and the staff is so accomodatingSpencer Brian and Vince are awsomeI dont remember everyone elses name but they are all great!Thank you Plunge swimming pool!

Great spot for a rainy day!

We celebrated mi sons birthday and him and his friends had a blast.

This is one of the coolest pools in San Diego! They are located right on Mission beach, and have a sweet set up for aquatics athletes kids and families! Im stoked that they have water polo goals set up for us polo people! They also have an obstacle course for the kids, and seven 25yd lap lanes for swimmers.

My first day pass. Will consider a membership. I personally got too cold in and out of the water.

Such a fun place to workout and have fun. Staff is super friendly and location is awesome. Has pretty much everything you would want with obstacle courses, lap swim, sauna, spin bikes, and retractable roof!

Great indoor pool. Have family time which is discounted price for families, or all day passes.

My friend invited my fam bam had the best time! Time varies, but worth the cost!

Really cool place for kids, but charging $5 per parent (spectator fee) just to be in the building to watch my kids (7 and 9) play in the pool is just crazy! We were told it’s “to keep parking from getting crowded,” but that doesn’t make much sense.

Went on 6/21/2020. Guy at the front desk was extremely rude. Restrooms are dirty. The beach restrooms are cleaner. Nickel and dime for everything. Not worth the money.

Great atmosphere! love the family friendly environment and my niece loves coming here in her free time.

Great place plunge into

BEST THING EVER!! Am going again tommorow!

This is a great place. The staff are very friendly

Love this pool!!! So clean and fresh and you can feel the history

Great place

Very nice

Fun place, a little touristy but cool.

The place is beautiful, the music is good, the sauna is great, and the staff are friendly. I wish the basic pool membership included towels and classes, and I wish there was a hot tub too.

Good.

Great place for lap swim and more!

Amazing place!!!!!

Great place for a swim

Horrible

Fun
