Yours Truly

We attended West Irving Aquatics Swimming Pool located on Conflans road for the first time and as a "black" first time visitor it was a horrible experience for me, my child, and my extended family. Before we attended the center we made sure to read the rules online to assure as black people we did not violate any rules, however, even following the rules wasnt enough. One of my relatives who is also an army veteran wore her army swim attire to the pool which was covered by a tank top. Upon entering the center we all were very visible in our swim attire, we made sure everyone was dressed appropriately, and nothing was said to us by two cashiers about our attire except your fee is non-refundable. We all went in put all of our items in a locker that were not appropriate for swimming, about 20 minutes into playing with our children a Hispanic female lifeguard approached us and said that my aunt could not be in the pool with her top on over her swim attire, we asked why and was not given an explanation. We than began to point out several other whites and Hispanics who also were wearing puma t-shirts, a Hispanic kid was seen swimming in an air Jordan t-shirt, another Hispanic female was seen swimming in an Aeropostale t-shirt, based in the rules none of those items are considered swim attire. I then asked why are they allowed to swim in t-shirts and she stated because they have swim attire under the shirt, however, they did not. As we packed our things to depart I asked the cashier at the desk for contact information for the supervisor and she then stated for what reason, I explained the incident and she rudely stated we are trained to identify whats appropriate and whats not appropriate. Obviously not! And she refused to give us the information.

I went to the park last week with my 5 year old grandson and thought this was a great place for kids. They have a variety of water spaces designed for different age levels. There is an 8 years and under pool that has a toy in the center (kind of) and a slide. This area is completely covered so tender baby skin is protected. Then there is the main area with a play area and a moving water area. You just kind of go with the flow (pun intended) The play area has a slide and a huge bucket that fills with water and spills out and gets you really soaked if you happen to be standing underneath. There is also a smaller bucket that kids can fill with a rope pull and then spill on any willing grandma or parent who would be willing to stand underneath. There is also a regular swimming pool where adults can swim without children and very large slides for teens, well actually anyone over a certain height. They do have a concession stand with prices that I consider high but less than the movie theatres. We are planning our next trip and taking a picnic with us as there are tables and chairs in a covered area. I see that one Daquarious Smith is complaining about not being able to wear shorts. I can only assume that this young man wanted to wear the kind of shorts with lots of pockets where you can hide lots of items. I think they are very lenient on what you can wear and I saw lots of heavy ladies wearing shorts and tops. I actually noticed lots of kids wearing shorts but regular shorts and they were allowed to use life saving floats and even the odd toy seemed to be allowed. As I am a senior there was no charge so it was a $2 day for me. We look forward to our next trip.

My sons love the water bucket at the top that gets full the pour the water on the kids below. If you live in Irving adults are $3 kids are $2. I came labour day and had to pay $7 for 1 adult and 2 kids. I believe kids under 2 are free, my assumption tho. Gotta have on a swim suit and if your child is under 7yrs old they must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the water. So, that means you and the Child has to have on a swim suit. The concession stand was OK but over priced. $2.50 for a hot dog, really guys?! 90% of the employees are teenagers so good luck finding and adult wen theres a serious issue

When my family went there there was a female employee that decides whether you swim or not based off of what youre wearing and if youre wearing a shorts and tank-top, youre considered as "not able to swim in that" when we saw PLENTY of people wearing a tank-top and shorts. The female employee shouldve thought twice before judging because if youre wearing a tank-top and shorts to swimming, youre likely wearing something underneath. But besides that, the overall the water activities were great, you do get what you paid for.

Attend a birthday party several life guards rude picking on kids would not let them enjoy their swimming. Then 10 mins till 11:00pm they closed the restrooms and didnt allow anyone to change and very rude to us. Everyone was soak and wet and the lifeguards just laughing and rushing us. I always attended parties there several times never had problems. But this time was very unsatisfied and treated rudely by the lifeguards and management.

Its definitely good if you have kids, however. If you are grown up or have teen. Avoid it, there is no real place to swim, they have two water slides which are a plus. One lazy river, 3ft pool area and play area for toddlers. They have a 6ft pool, but you cant really swim on it because they dont let you hang on to the walls. So if you get tired, then youre supposed to drown?

Im a traveler with work. My son is on the road with me, and try to get him out and about locally! He loves pools! This place was great and my son enjoyed the pool and slides! It was a slow day! So, not too many people! If you arent a resident than youll have to pay an $8 fee per person plus the admissions! Just wished that every city I ride through has such facilities too!

Very small water park. The only thing about this place is that their are so many DUMB rules. For instance I have to get off the water slide from a certain side. Who cares what side I get off on!!! And then I like my little girls to dress modest, so why isnt my girls rash guard swim attire not okay unless they have another swimsuit underneath. Way tooooo strict in my opinion.

Nice place to take the kids to swim and play in the water, HOWEVER, the lifeguards are the reason I do not plan to go back. These cocky teenagers were very rude to my family and I and one in particular yelled at my nephew who has special needs. Management needs to seriously reconsider hiring new staff there before they have bigger issues to deal with in the future.

Took my kids here and had a really great time. They have a water slide for kids taller than 48 inches, a slide for toddlers, and a wading pool. Just a few tips: 1. You can bring a cooler and snacks. They have a concession stand, but youll do better bringing your own. 2. If you dont live in Irving it will cost a little more to enter. We had a great day
