Indoor destination offering a waterslide and lazy river, as well as a diving board and a rope swing.
The Madras Aquatic Center maintains the Lap Pool at a comfortable 80°F, the Leisure Pool at a warmer 88°F, and the Hot Tub at a relaxing 104°F.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the facility are mixed but highlight several positive aspects alongside significant areas for improvement. Many praise the beautiful facility, its amenities such as a slide, kids play area, lap pool, diving board, hot tub, and large bleachers, as well as the availability of desk space with chargers and Wi-Fi. The swim lessons are also noted as highly effective. However, major criticisms focus on accessibility and communication, with complaints about extremely limited open swim hours, unexpected closures not being posted online or communicated when calling, and restrictive rules during 'family swim' (e.g., no slides or floats). Other issues include a strong chlorine smell, difficulty using the rope swing, and snack tables being continuously occupied by families, making it hard for others to eat.

Attended for a swim meet, and the facility is beautiful! I used the desk space with chargers and free wifi to complete some work before the meet started. Inside, the Bleachers are so much bigger than larger city pools we’ve been to. They did a nice job keeping the temperature good, not too hot or humid.
I looked for an open swim and you have to make an appointment and the only option is two dates this entire month. Hard to enjoy the pool if you can't even get in the door. Edit: I appreciate the honest feedback. The problems here are clearly political, and not the fault of people working at the facility.
Apparently family swim means just pool.. they won’t let family on the water slide or play with the provided floats… cuz you know family’s don’t get fun… and what’s really fun about The Mac is that earlier they closed the “free swim” due to the school renting the free swim time and it wasn’t posted on the website think they would have at least posted on the website hey today free swim is closed due to a SCHEDULED activity… but nooooo that’s too hard for them I had also Called the day before to check when the free swim was and they told me free swim is 1pm-3pm but failed to inform me that it would be closed tomorrow due to the pool being rented out… their inability to inform the public of scheduled changes is brain boggling.. also think they use waaaay too much chlorine, I wasn’t swimming but the smell was nauseating and eye watering felt like I was put into a bleach bottle.
Awesome swim center with a slide, kids play area, lap pool,diving board and a hottub. They also provide swimming lessons and fitness classes both in and out of the water and they have rooms for birthday parties or classes. Great place! My son learned to swim through their swim lessons in just 3 visits! Love the MAC!!
We love this place. However there a few changes I'd like to see made. Please make it so the rope swing in the pool easier to get to after each jump, that's just stupid. Please put a time limit that people can sit at the snack tables so EVERYONE has an opportunity to eat their snacks (like 15 min). Today every table was hogged by families with all their stuff the entire stay making it impossible for others to have somewhere to eat. There are plenty of other places to sit, bleachers, benches ect... PLEASE fix those issues. Other than that this place is great and we plan on getting a membership.
