Student Union, Inc. Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center

SJSU’s pool might be one of the best well kept secrets (speaking as someone who is not connected to SJSU in anyway). The facilities are so new that if you look at Google Map’s standard top down view, the building shape is that of the building it had replaced. The hours for drop in are flexible ($5 day pass per person), kids friendly, has olympic sized 50 meter pool, and the showers / lockers are clean. There is a parking garage next door ($1 every 30 minutes).

In A Nutshell: -The brand-new $130 million Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center is awesome! -The community waited for about 2 years for this place to open & it finally did right before summer 2019. -There are 3 swimming pools, which includes a 15 lane lap pool, plus diving board, a kiddie/lounge pool area & a pool w/ 4 lane lap pool plus open water swim area. -You don't feel cramped & there's a lot of room w/ plenty of outdoor sunshine. -The locker room has lockers, but I think they are reserved for the students, so just use the locker room to change & use the bathroom. -I like the expensive $10 day pass or $60 monthly (plus you need to commit to a year) which weeds out people so it doesn't get crowded. Overall, this will be my new go-to place to swim countless laps, while getting a nice tan since it's all outdoor!

Gloria at the front desk deserves your next department MVP award! She made my day this morning with her professionalism and dedication to making all Spartans welcome! Even the old ones that spill their entire Peet’s on their way through the hand scanner (:

Don't go here after 11th of August! So we wanted to go to the pool for recreational use as we were here as tourists during the summer. The girl at the entrance told us we couldn't get in as the summer entrance ended on the 11th of August (we were here on the 15th of August). Tried to talk to her but no, only way we can get in is if we know someone at the university. Then the entrance fee is 15$

Amazing place for students of SJSU. They have swimming pool, basket ball, badminton , gym and a lot more activities which are very well managed by the student union. I go almost every day there and have faced no issues till date. To be honest I never thought this facility would be so good. Go spartans !!
