Heated Swimming Pool
The ocean is pretty cold year-round in La Jolla because of the Alaska current. For something a little warmer, the Coggan Aquatics Center is just down the hill on Nautilus Street, adjacent to the high school. It is open to the public for a reasonable fee. There are changing rooms and a hot tub.
