10 reviews for San Ramon Olympic Pool & Aquatic Park
Great place to have a get together. Shaded picnic areas with tables(first come first serve or you can make reservations).
Pools for adults, diving, and the best.....a kid's area. The kid's pool has many water features and the pool area is about 3 feet max in certian areas. Most areas were pretty shallow. There are many life guards throughout.
Locker rooms are spacious, need to bring your own lock if you are going to use the lockers.
$4 for adults, $3 for kids 1+.

Really great facility. Super clean, well run and CHEAP!!! They have three pools: one for small children, with water sprayers and slides, a second for larger kids and a third olympic sized pool with swim lanes and a large slide and diving boards. It's a perfect place for a swim party, the only thing they don't have is food - but you can bring your own. At under $3pp for an all-day swimfest this place is a deal. Other pools in the SF and Peninsula areas charge upwards of $250 for two-hour window for 20 kids - plus lifeguard fees.
We just had my daughter's 10th birthday here and she assures me that it was the best birthday ever, but then she says that every year...
I attempted to book one of their reserved area's for our party, but called too late so we had to do a first-come thing for the open tables. They have about 12-15 tables in a covered gazebo area in the middle of the open area. These tables are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis and on really hot days when the place is packed you have to show up early get in line and get ghetto on someone just to get a table. I had nightmares about having guests travel 45 mins only to get there and find out that we couldn't have the party because we didn't get a spot.
We totally lucked out and the day we went, it was practically EMPTY! We showed up at 11:30AM with a group of around six girls and a ton of food and they let us in a bit early so we could get the tables set-up.
The pools are really well maintained, no leaves or icky stuff floating around - the only thing to worry about are people urinating in the water and random men in speedos sporting a boner (pls. see pic).
The bathrooms are immaculate and clean up is easy with lots of trash containers that get emptied frequently throughout the day. They have several lifeguards on duty at any time and they've got eagle-eyes so no worries about the kids being safe which was nice because I didn't do a very good job keeping an eye on them.
I would've given the SRVL Olympic pool 5 stars however it's just so damn far and I wish they served food so I wouldn't have had to make and cart all the food and drinks all the way out there!
bathroom situation: basic, but large and clean, lots of stalls, showers w/ lockers and a little machine to dry out your swimsuit.

It's a good facility, probably the best in the area. It's home to some nice swim programs (SRVLA) and the facilities maintained fairly well.
HOWEVER, it IS an outdoor pool so expect vegetation in the pool. I think the kids park, the water slide, and the diving boards more than make up for some leaves in the pool gutter.
Only major gripe, old people water ballet TAKIN UP MAH LANES!!!!!!!!

Best one around this area. Excellent for toddlers. This will be our regular summer hang out.
I have a fear of public pools (urine, stool, floating bugs and snot), but I must say that this place is pretty clean...kinda like the rest of San Ramon. *creepy*
I still won't swim in it though.
My brother is on the swim team and he likes it. His hair is all effed up from the chlorine.
I had to volunteer for a swim meet here the day after I got home from school for winter break. The swim moms are crazy.
This is heaven for my two kids. The baby pool is a water playground similar to what you will find at Raging Waters or Water World except it's CLEAN. Yup, no murky water here! The area is gated which is nice since the bigger pools are right next to it.
Almost makes me want to move out to the burbs.....almost.
I haven't been to the kid part of the pool (Due to the fact I compete there), so the only places I've swam is the main pool (Olympic 50M) and the "warm up pool" (25 yd pool). Place is clean, very good weather. I can't say relaxing (Then again, I'm trying to drop time) But I manage to get good times here (something with the water I bet)
Bathrooms: Not as clean as I hoped, but ample shower area, a lot of bathrooms inside (but they are kinda small)
Overall, great pool. Plus, it's close to my crush's house and he competes here too. :D
The kiddie pool has lots of pee in it. I would know (wink, wink).

Super fun aquatic park for small children and avid swimmers. Childrens area has a huge play structure with a slide, tipping buckets, water sprayers. There is also a big slide and 2 huge pools for teaching your children to swim. Some well shaded areas around the area allow for picnics. Lots of fun in the sun.
best pool in east bay open to the public. why can't it be closer to Hayward?
