I enjoy this pool a lot. They keep it maintained at a surprisingly warm temperature, which makes early morning swim practice a delight. The locker rooms are excellent and I don’t feel like I’m going to get athlete’s foot using the showers
8 lanes, 25 yards (25 meters during summer), and another pool ~4 lanes, 20 yards.
I wish the hours were better, even during the summer. If you’re not a part of the not-​so-​good Master’s team here, your lap swimming time is going to be very limited. But that’s more of the city’s issue than the pool’s.

Great pool. I buy the pass as I go regularly here. Very good for lap swimming.

The pool is outdoor, it’s clean, the people are friendly and committed to swimming.
I should mention, I do the lap swim at mid-​day, Monday through Friday. Usually not too crowded when I go. Usually split a lane with another swimmer, sometimes a lane all to myself. I went one time after work for lap swim, and it was crowded as hell. Like the Nimitz at rush hour.
And by the way, the weather is typically great. I get a non-​resident swim pass, and I think it’s about 5 bucks a swim, and I can live with that, pretty good value.

Great well-​maintained facility with a multi-​use pool: 3′ end for beginners, 12′ end for diving off the diving board in rec swim hours. Always well-​staffed with lots of lifeguards who rotate regularly. The locker rooms have been recently remodeled, with new paint and showerheads and everything. It’s well-​ventilated and doesn’t get stuffy in there with everyone showering.
It’s also one of the least expensive pools in the area, given both the multi-​use never-​expiring pass (the lifeguard who sold it to me said they occasionally see passes from 1985 or something!) and the Mountain View resident discount.
The pool area itself is surrounded by trees around the perimeter fence, giving it more privacy and also some nice greenery to spot yourself with if you’re doing the backstroke in the shallow short-​course end. («I see trees! Time to flip over!» — this has saved my poor noggin quite a few bashings.) Car/​bike parking is also always easy to find in the Eagle Park lot and on the bike rack to the left of the main entrance.
My only gripe is with the lack of a swimsuit water extractor on the premises — one of those spinny machines where you press the top down and it centrifuges the water out your suit for you. Lack of one means a lot of wringing and lugging around a soaking wet swimsuit, or coming up with creative ways to hang it inside my car while I’m off running an errand or meeting up with friends on Castro St afterwards. The day they install one is the day I edit this review to a full five stars. :)

Great pool, $ 5 lane swimming if you are a resident of Mountain View. I had to share a lane with three different people but there were still open lanes on a Tuesday night. Pool seems kind of old compared to the one at my College but it is being renovated this September so that should help. I liked the outdoor swimming aspect and the facilities were decent. Also it is really hard to get out of the deep end because the sides are so high up. Two lifeguards were on duty for safety, there were some strong swimmers and a few people who only stayed for a 15 minute workout.

This pool is interesting… no lawn chairs, no concession stand, but super clean. The place looks pristine. The only downside is that they charge you $ 4 to swim. I noticed the lifeguards were very attentive and all wore shirts, fanny packs, have floating devices, and straw hats with sunglasses. It was your typical public pool… a bunch of little kids running around. The only downside for me what the grass was tickling my leg and it became really annoying. I also got a little hungry and had nowhere to buy food… that $ 4 could have come in handy. I want to give a 3 for these misses, but for the casual chill person, it will suffice.

My review for lap swimming at Eagle Park. Even in the coldest evening hours in January, Eagle Park pool is fun to swim at. During this time I wouldn’t claim that the water feels tropical, but it is warm enough for a weather wimp, like me to lap swim. The pool and locker rooms are clean and comfortable. I think that the lap swim prices are a tiny bit steep, but acceptable. I do wish that they had one of those swimsuit dryers that many other pools in affluent neighborhoods have.

Beautiful pool. Eight 25 yard/​meter (depending on season) lanes, and 4 or 5 (again depending on season) shorter lanes.
The facility is nice and well maintained. The guards are friendly and helpful. Lap swimmers are polite and work with each other.
Down sides: the bulkhead is slippery and the hours are limited.

This is actually much nicer than most public pools I’ve visited. Locker room had showers., bathroom and a changing area (with lockers, nice).
The crowd wasn’t too bad for open swim either. Lifeguards seemed kind of hard core (like power thirsty teens) but I’m not judging, they are responsible for the safety of 20 or so people.
Not a bad place to go. One of the few bummers was that there is a $ 3 spectator fee, as in you need to pay to even enter the pool area let alone the $ 5 swim fee. Seemed like a quick and annoying way to make money to me. OH, and don’t sit on the picnic benches… splinters GALORE!
Other than that, not too bad.

Great pool, very well-​kept facilities. Lots of lanes for people of different speeds. You can buy a 25 swim pass and save a little bit (though not a ton) of money. The staff who work are all really nice, though the lifeguards are pretty young.
They also have equipment you can use, like the board things. The pool water has never irritated my skin, unlike other pools.
I do not hesitate to give this pool 5 stars. It really is the best pool I’ve ever been to!

If you plan to go swim often, I recommend buying punch passes. I have been going here many times now, and it is good for a workout session. Plenty of lanes available, including the other end of the pool with shorter lengths too! Kicking boards and booeys (sp?!) are available for your swimming workouts.
The pool has always been clean everytime I go there. It is very spacious and has grassy area to tan during public pool hours. If you are bored, the park is right outside also, with basketball/​soccer/​picnic area to enjoy! Even better yet, Castro street is right next door!!!
Parking is limited but there are street parking available along the curb.
The staff was nice enough to let me use their phone since my cell phone ran out of battery!
I just went here tonight and boy, I feel satisfied that I only had to split the lane with one other person the whole entire time!

The pool has everything going for it: location, clean and maintained locker room and the pool itself, parking, proximity to El Camino Real and MV Downtown.
The staff is courteous and friendly. They do not check for residency proof, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. :)
There are more lanes than the Rengstorff pool and locker room is much better.
I go there on a daily basis for my lap swim and get lane space easily.
Recommended for any one looking for lap swim and a clean facility.

This beautiful pool and facility is well maintained and has a great locker room area. We were grateful to have it five minutes from our house during the weekend heatwave. The entire family enjoyed cooling off! The only thing I don’t appreciate about this pool is the policy to empty it of everyone under 18 every 90 minutes! This obnoxious announcement goes out declaring it time for a 15-​minute «adult swim» and ordering all under 18 to go to their towels. Now if you bring kids to a pool let’s face it, if they have to get out so do you. For the longest and hottest 15 minutes of my life I contended with two long faced kids while less than a dozen obese adults bobbed in the deep end of the pool — they didn’t even ever break into a swim! Approximately 20 kids stared longingly into the cool emptiness of the 31⁄2 foot deep pool the whole time while their parents complained aloud about this unbelievable rule! I asked three life guards why this rule exists and two simply said, «It’s just our policy!» and shrugged their shoulders. The third life guard stated that the rule exists to make sure children routinely rest for a few minutes and some of the life guards get a bathroom break. Now that makes sense! It also might be better received if positioned as a «rest break» not the adult reprieve from ankle bitters that it feels like now!

Just recently started getting in to lap swimming using the shallow pool.
Clean well maintained locker room facility and pools.
LIfe guard staff are a young healthy crew. They seem to work on a rotation system at the various stations (door check in, 2 stations at shallow pool, 2 stations at deep pool. It seems that they rotate stations every 15 minutes, which I think is good and probably helps keep them more alert and not bored due to a frequent rotation.
I have been lap swimming for awhile now and I am happy to report that I have not ever seen any of the staff on iPods, cell phones or texting or with ear phones hanging out of their ears.
It is good to know that they understand the level of responsibility and expectations that are upon them to care enough about me to keep their noses forward and not pointing down in to an inanimate object.
Thanks Eagle Park Life Guards for keeping your eyes, ears and attention on us.
You guys & gals are definitely on point!

Great pool! I swim with Mountain View Masters, so I’m there all the time. Nice clean shower facilities, and they keep the pool a great lap-​swimming temperature.

I like this place. But it’s very expensive for even residence.

I heart Eagle Pool. It’s conveniently located, clean, and cheap ($ 2.75 for Mountain View residents, $ 3.75 for outsiders, but they don’t ask for any proof of residence so follow your conscience). Easy street parking, nice locker rooms, free kickboards, buoys, and other assorted goodies. Yes, the pool is a bit on the short side, but hey, so am I so I can’t really complain. And I stink at flip turns so it’s nice to have the practice, despite the fact that I waterboard myself half the time. I can imagine it would get crowded at peak hours, but it still seems manageable enough. And it’s less of a scene than Rinconada Pool in Palo Alto. Just good old fashioned swimmin’.

It’s HOT. The Beijing Olympics are well underway and I’ve been fully inspired by all the swimmers to do me some laps. So I strolled over to the Mountain View City Hall and purchased my lap-​swim pass to access the Eagle Park Swimming Pool. It was super easy, and the attendant was kind and helpful. $ 48.75 pays for 25 swims for a non-​resident of Mountain View. 2 stars.
The facilities are clean and apparently recently renovated. Changing rooms have benches, showers, bathrooms, lockers, and plenty of space. Swimming lanes are clearly marked for slow, medium or fast swimmers. Kickboards, buoys and flippers are available for people who want to concentrate on strokes or kicks. 2 stars.
The one thing that irked me, however, was the fact that the pool is cut off in the middle with a platform! Having competed before, I was bummed enough that there aren’t many Olympic length pools around. AND THEN, they stick a big phat walking platform in the middle so that you’re not even swimming 25 meters! So much for lap swimming. You end up kicking off more than you’re actually swimming. And at times, the pool can get pretty crowded for the limited hours that it’s open. So, small pool + lots of people = serious sardine action. Minus 2 stars.
Well, the pool is within walking distance from my work and the facilities are decent, so I’ll stop complaining and just keep swimming. Plus 1 star.
