Los Baños del Mar Pool

If you're a lap swimmer and in town visiting Santa Barbara, you're in for a treat! My first time here and I paid for a day entry, with entry times staggered throughout the day. They close temporarily during parts of the day, so plan your time accordingly. What a fantastic lap pool. Lanes are identified by skill or speed, so as you share the lane with other swimmers, you'll all be about the same speed. Brilliant! The location is unbelievable and just yards from the SB Harbor. Easy access by bike as well. Very clean lockers and showers are available. Outstanding first time experience for me! It will be for you too! Nice job SB 👏

Just extending deep gratitude to the staff here. To Todd and the LB team- thank you. Your work matters, your kindness matters- it matters to all of us who find peace in this pool. The value of your work is clear to this community. We appreciate you. And to all the parks and rec folks in Santa Barbara- Thank you for keeping your doors open and hopes up.

Worst pool I've ever swam a meet at. The turn end is super shallow, there's no reasonable warm up space. No deck space. Terrible blocks, and sand gets tracked around everywhere. I refuse to go to any meet here it is a truly miserable experience.

Very nice, clean 50m outdoor pool for lap swimming. Friendly staff. Lanes range from slow to very fast (collegiate and faster) to kick-only. Lots of fitness and masters swimmers, triathletes, and runners recovering from injuries ☺️. Highly recommend buying passes online to speed things up.

My favorite pool to swim in! I love the 50-meter (long course), outdoor circle-swim pool. There are plenty of swim/level lanes to choose from and a kick-only lane. It’s next to the ocean, with birds flying by and palm trees to see. While swimming. The pool is heated and also lit for the evening swims. There is plenty of street parking and the paid parking lot is available. Buy a membership online to save time at the pool. Locals do get a discount (with proof).
