I visit the lap pool and hottub pretty often in the summer due to my bad knees. I remember working in a similar setting when I was a teenager, and was even a pool operator. I have read a lot of reviews and witnessed a lot of things at this pool. Here are some clarifications on things that often anger people: 1. The reason (which should be fairly obvious) your diaper-wearing 2-year-old child cannot go in the pool is because they are not potty trained. If someone poops in the pool, at best, they have to close it for 30 minutes and at worst the pool is closed for 24 hours. So dont ruin it for yourself and other patrons. And yes, poop incidents are very common in the summertime. Stop being selfish. Also, anyone under 3 should not be in the pool, even if they are potty trained. If your child can barely walk and cannot go down the little slide by themselves they are way too susceptible to injury and should not be in the pool. I have watched the pool get closed for a whole day and the staff has to deal with sessions worth of people asking for refunds, looks like an awful ordeal. And no, you will not get away with sneaking in your 2-year-old. Whether the staff can apprehend you or not, they know. 2. The reason your eyes burn so badly from the chlorine is because almost 90% of the patrons decided not to shower before entering the pool. The bathrooms advise you to shower before getting into the pool. The reason your eyes burn is because the chlorine in the water is reacting with dirt/grease/sweat/pee etc. So, take a shower, youre gonna get wet anyways. 3. The fact your child is too short for the slide is not the lifeguards problem. In fact, it is nobodys problem. Not a big deal. Go down the smaller side. Your child will get over it. And no, the kids you are watching go down the slide are not all shorter than your kid, those are anger-induced-hallucinations.

Nice Place. It helps to understand a few things, though 1) Admission covers a 2-hour session. This is spelled out on the website and in the publications, but people still whine about it. You pay for 2 hours, leave the pool at the end of the session, and pay for another session if you want to stay longer. If its too crowded, they wont let you in until the next session. That seems reasonable, since it might help prevent a drowning. Still, some people cry about it. I had no trouble getting the staff to explain the details of the admission and pass system to me, No one was rude to me. 2) Admission is $4 for kids, $6 for adults, $4 for seniors if you live in AA County. Add $2 if you are from out of the county. So its not cheap, but not horribly expensive either. 3) Discount books bring the prices down, especially for Adult + Children combos. Your ticket gets punched once for each adult, once for each kid. I cant see why anyone would expect anything else. 4) The lap pool is for swimmers. You dont need to be a racer, but its not set up for lounging around in the shallow end, either. A lot of seniors use it for workouts, as do many young adults. The kiddie pool is for kids. What else? Its nice, with water depths from 1 half foot to 4.5 feet. It has a pair of slides and some fountains, but if you want Six Flags youll be disappointed. All in all, I liked it.

It was JUST ok. The people at the desk wasnt to polite when I asked about the times. On the site it said from 8am-8pm. I got there a little before 12pm and was told I was only going be able to swim until 1 because the group that was in now were from 11-1. No where did I see that on their website and she acted irritated when I was confused about the time. Was not friendly or polite. The kiddie pool werent big at all. It was crowded. The slide was the only decent part. Not enough seating either. The seating is awful. There are only benches. Two very long benches like at a school gym where you sitting with other people and their junk leaving not much space to put your shoes or towels on. Items can easily get misplaced or mixed up with someone else stuff. Didnt feel very comfortable leaving my purse around a bunch of strangers even with it on my shoulders. They are some benches here and there but of course they were already occupied. To much chemicals in the pool. My husband and my children were complaining about our eyes burning after going in the water and we smelled like straight up bleach when leaving. . It was my first time going and more than likely will be my last.I will try Bohrer Water Park next

This is a superior facility. It is kept very clean. The life guards and fitness instructors are great and very non-judgmental, in fact, encouraging, about each patrons level of fitness. But there are multiple facilities used in multiple ways and different ways to pay for the facilities, so it can be very confusing at first. For instance, there is the water park which is open for very specific 2-hour sessions; you cant just go in any time. There are fitness classes, and swimming classes which are at specific times. Lap swimming is usually available anytime although sometimes less lanes are available due to a class at one end of the pool AND no lanes are available when the swim teams have practice. But all the information is available if you look at every page, including PDFs, on the website. I have used it for the water fitness classes and for lap swimming. I also have occasionally taken my niece and nephew to a water park session, and always have a good experience. Hours can change monthly, so check the website before you come. Small lockers are one quarter, large are two quarters.

The lap pool itself is good but the attention to service is about what one would expect with a county pool. Prices are not bad expecially since there is NO fee to join, only when you want to come in. They have decent plans for multiple visits to save money. They also have a play area for the younger kids and offer party services for groups. Like every public service they are most crowded first thing in the morning and right after work. Midday is the time to go swim, especially if you want a lane to yourself for turning laps in the lap pool. Check the schedule for when classes are running and check for the local school swim team practice times because that will take the lap lanes down to less than half which means crowded conditions. They are good answering the phone and letting you know when the lanes are jammed or if there is a little space.

I was pretty much scammed at this location. There is a family pass that costs about $70.00 for 20 times. This is a one adult and one child only pass.....so heres the problem, when my son and I went to the pool, they punched twice on the twenty slots! I complained at the front desk and even to the managers and they rudely stated that I needed to properly read the policy on the site in regards to the family pass. The employees stated that it was a 20 times pass, online states that it is a 20 times pass, and on the card it states it is a 20 times pass. But we can only go 10 times! I asked for a refund for being tricked but the manager stated that it was my fault for not reading properly and refused to give a refund. Although the pools are great, because of the terrible management and customer service, it is a one star.
