About

Outdoor pool facility with slides and diving boards.

The facility typically maintains specific temperatures for its various pools. The competition lap pool is generally kept cooler, often around 80-82°F (27-28°C), ideal for lap swimming and competitive use. The warm water leisure pool is heated to a more comfortable range, typically 88-90°F (31-32°C), suitable for families, children, and therapeutic use. The whirlpool provides a much hotter experience, usually between 102-104°F (39-40°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The aquatic center is highly praised for keeping kids entertained for hours with its various attractions, including three water slides, diving boards, and a floating obstacle course. Its design allows parents to easily supervise children, with shallow areas featuring umbrellas for shade. Lifeguards are generally described as alert, focused, attentive, and caring, though one review noted occasional "mean" comments. Management is seen as diligent in maintaining cleanliness and checking on staff. Unique features like a swim proficiency test for assigning activity bands and hourly adults-only swim sessions are highlighted. The availability of life vests further enhances safety, making it a great and safe experience for families.

Kids love it, its small enough where you can always see your kids from a deck chair but big enough to keep them entertained for hours. Lifeguards seem to do a good job and are alert and focused. I've seen the management cleaning up while making rounds to check on the guards so its kept clean.

The life guards were mean some times, like saying comments, but over all excellent experience and entertainment!

This is a great pool. 3 water slides, diving boards and a floating obstacle course. Plenty to do. Every hour they do an adults only 10 minute swim. Kids are issued a swim band based on their swim proficiency. They will do a test. This determines how deep they can go and what activities they can do. It's actually a neat idea. The shallow area has umbrellas so you can sit in the water in the shade. You can see the whole pool so it's easy to keep track of your kids.

Life guards are incredibly nice and the diving boards are good!! I was able to dive off the high dive with no problems and even got some good reactions! Amazing pool area for kids and nice slides. I really like the lily pad jumps as I call them. Overall a great experience because lifeguards actually care.

I enjoyed bringing grandkids to the Aquatic Center this summer. None of them were swimmers but they were easy to watch in the shallow end. The kids had a lot of fun and woke up every morning asking to go to the outdoor pool again. Lifeguards were attentive and encouraged kids to follow rules. I liked the availability of life vests for added water safety.
