About

Public pool that's good for kids and popular for exercise, with people praising the price.

The competition pool is typically maintained at 80-82°F (27-28°C). The leisure pool is warmer, usually kept at 86-88°F (30-31°C), and the hot tub operates at approximately 102-104°F (39-40°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews consistently praise the facility's cleanliness, comfort, and the high quality of the pool. Staff are frequently commended for being friendly and engaging, with specific mentions of Bria for providing excellent and effective swim lessons, and Laurence the lifeguard for creating a welcoming atmosphere. While some visitors enjoy the uncrowded environment for workouts and relaxation, one review notes that the pool can be crowded on Saturdays. A suggestion was made to reinstate glass doors for year-round pool access. Overall, the pool is highly recommended for its amenities and positive staff interactions.

My granddaughter had private lessons with Bria and she was absolutely wonderful!! I love the fact that they come out to your community pool as an option for lessons. Bria was very patient with my granddaughter who was extremely hesitant to go under water. By day 3 she was fully and comfortably submerged and swimming. She loved Bria and her swim lesson experience.
