YMCA Toby Wells

5105 Overland Avenue  San Diego, CA 92123

The great thing about joining the YMCA is you’re not limited to just the facility where you sign up. This appealed to me as it does get kinda boring going to the same pool day in and day out.

Anyways I’ve been a member for a little under two months. The pool is indoors however a half dozen tiles have been removed from the ceiling letting in the sun and a few cute birds. This means sunscreen is needed for me. The hot spa is outdoors with some shade provided by a small triangle canvas.

I highly recommend getting the facility schedule and reading it before you plan your workout. They do have many activities for the kids including gymnastics and day camp.

The women’s locker room consists of; one dressing room, roughly ten semi private showers, numerous toilet stalls, lockers with built in combination locks, benches and blow dryers. They have three (that I know of) separate locking family restrooms. I really appreciate these on gymnastic days when the locker room is filled with little kids and privacy is hard to find.

The indoor pool has 5 or 6 lap lanes depending on swim lessons, day camp and family swim time. It is fairly shallow, the deepest part is approximately 5 1/2 feet. A lifeguard is on duty at all times.

A full indoor workout area is available. Group fitness classes include; water exercise classes, yoga and pilates. Soccer leagues are offered for kids on up thru adults.

So far I really like this location. The staff are always friendly, everything is super clean and parking is plentiful with shady spots.
