This is a small place, but my kids and husband had the BEST time here! So nice, we visited twice on our recent vacation to San Diego. Wasn't too packed either time which was also nice! A bit pricy, but worth it. ($65 for 4 swimmers and 1 spectator for 2 hours). Staff was very nice both times! Great time had by all!
My son has gone to the summer adventure camps for a few years, and they are awesome. We also just had his birthday party there and it was also awesome. The staff goes above and beyond, everyone has a fantastic time, and communication is amazing. I highly recommend the Plunge!
Family went to the Plunge during the day when it was pretty quiet. Beautiful building and even better atmosphere. Guy who checked us in (missed his name, but had awesome finger nail designs) was accommodating and so nice to our kids. Explained everything and had patience with them. Then my daughter decided to take the swim test to go without a life jacket, and Will was incredibly nice and sweet to her after she had a hard time getting started. He pep talked her up and was more than patient with her. Both employees were amazing and way better with my kids (and family) than I could ever imagine. Overall a great experience and my kids loved the obstacle course!
My boys loved the Plunge San Diego Adventure Camp! The counselors were all awesome; Jacob, Ms. Princess and Ms. Devyn were their favorite! My boys felt comfortable and were beyond excited to go to camp everyday. They loved all the activities, escape room, laser tag, pool time and ride time. Drop off and pick up were very smooth! They were so sad to leave but we will be back for more! Thank you SDAC team for an amazing summer!
We absolutely love The Plunge San Diego! The facility is stunning—immaculately clean with a heated pool that’s cleverly divided between a fun obstacle course and a lap pool. The restrooms and lockers are spotless, the heated towels are a great touch, and there’s even a comfortable lounge area where parents can relax and watch their kids during lessons. Our experience with the instructors has been nothing short of amazing. Ian, our Level 1 instructor, was incredibly patient, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for working with kids. My two high-energy boys connected with him right away and made impressive progress—moving up to Level 2 in just four sessions! We’re now in the accelerated Level 2 program with Jeiny, and she’s been equally fantastic. Her calm but firm teaching style is exactly what my rambunctious boys need, and she balances structure with encouragement so well. I can’t recommend swim lessons at The Plunge enough—it’s been a wonderful experience for both me and my kids!
