About

Kids'-friendly indoor pool with a rock-climbing wall, a water slide, diving boards, and a kiddie pool area.

The facility includes a heated 25-meter lap pool and a hot tub. While specific, regularly published temperatures are not readily available, typical temperatures for a heated lap pool are often around 80-82°F (26-28°C), and hot tubs generally maintain temperatures between 100-104°F (37-40°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is highly recommended, described as amazing and great for families, featuring a large size, rock wall, water slide, diving boards, and a dedicated kiddie pool with a short slide. Life vests are available, and children need to pass a swim test for the 12-foot deep end, though vests allow access without it. Reviewers praise the great parking, atmosphere, and helpful lifeguards, noting it's usually not too busy. An inflatable iceberg is occasionally brought out. Entry is free for active-duty military and $2 for others. A notable downside mentioned is the poor manners and lack of respect exhibited by some children visiting the pool.

It is amazing! They have a rock wall, water slide, diving boards, and even a small area for kids. Children have to pass the swimming test if they want to get to the deeper areas which is about 12 feet deep. They also have their own life vest which can be useful if your child needs one. The life vest allows you to go to the deep end without having to pass the test. I highly recommend you go here, it's great for your family.

I have taken my kids there since they could barely walk. They still have a blast going there even now. Miss the diving boards, but the life guards still give us leeway fun. The only "but!" is the manners the kids have going there, which are "ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!" like the same goes for respect. They took my towel and took it off my chair threw it onto the floor. Dumped our small bag off our chair and replaced it with their own. Put all their stuff in the middle of the table we had first. Sad to say a reflection of their parents. I can only imagine.

Nice large pool that has a climbing wall, short kids slide, and a decent sized kiddie pool. They bring out a big inflatable ice Berg every now and then to play on in the pool. Entry is free for active duty military and $2 for everyone else
