“The pool is nice and has a great kidsu2019 splash pad. However, the water is very cold during winteru2014you start shivering after about 10 minutes. Better heating would make this much more enjoyable.”

“The pool is nice but whomever is in charge of the pool schedule should be fired! You canu2019t post schedule for two weeks and then decide to change without communicating. I rushed out of work to get to adult swim time, showered and stood around before finally asking one of the lifeguards. There were no signs on the doors about the change either. Have a little respect for other peopleu2019s time!”

“I really enjoy swimming at this facility. I'm taking the adult learn to swim class and it has been great. My instructors are knowledgeable and patient. The pool is perfect for beginners because it's only 3ft to 5 ft deep. The pool area is clean and the locker room and shower area are pretty well kept.”
