It was our first time at gill Pool. My husband and I took our 2 nieces and we all enjoyed ourselves. The staff was really helpful and answered our questions with smiles. We all made and home and were out for the count. We will be back. Thank You all.

Good pool, but the locker rooms could use some updating/cleaning. Also wished there were longer lap swim hours to avoid overcrowding, but I understand this is a community facility that has tons of other activities.

I recently became an amputee. I lost a leg. After healing from a hemipelvectomy, I was ready for my first swim. The pk dist staffer helped me take a lift to the pool. They were very friendly and helpful. They offered a chair lift to get me into the water. The experience was completely accessible. They were attentive as I entered the water for my first swim after 2 yrs of relative inactivity. I had a great swim. Restrm was accessible. I would highly recommend the pool for all who might need accommodations to be able to swim. My swim was fabulous.

I took my daughter to a swimming class here. The number of swim teachers were very good. The pool water was a little cool and I think the water should be a warmer for the kids. The closet and shower area was also clean but there was no place to change swimsuits. The biggest advantage here is the reasonable price of its services. In addition to the pool, there is a basketball court, a gym and community rooms.

The pool water is way too warm to have a good workout without the risk of overheating. PLEASE COOL IT DOWN!
