Clean, manageable pool for bringing littles too near downtown Wheaton. It's easy to keep track of your kids vs. bigger or more spread out pools. Locker rooms are decent, but not great, or overly clean. Great staff! The summer morning swim lessons for tots and pre-schoolers are adorable, and I was impressed with the quality of the class, with such very young instructors!

We usually like this pool, but today it was jus simply dirty. On concrete around the pool was a lot of trash and noone was taking care of it. When we went to eating area, tables and seats where filthy. I asked for paper towel and clean it all by myself, while staff member was on his phone totally in clouds. When we came to changing area this same surprise. Some showers not working, dirty floor and not working spinning machine for wet swimsuits. I think they had a lot of time to prepare for the season but someone obviously is not doing good job at managing this place. Totaly disappointed.

Horrendous establishment. I was immensely displeased with the service that these young humans displayed. They wouldn’t let my 14 year old child splash around (like a normal swimming pool) and they didn’t even explain the rules this establishment and they very loudly yell at us. Pipip cheerio have a splendid day.

Extremely rude manager. Yells at younger adults and does not allow them to use the pool during adult swim even though they have PAID the adult price. Manager’s bad attitude totally ruined the experience of being at such a great community pool.

The management is rude to young adults trying to use the pool during adult swim. Immediately started yelling before explaining any rules. I was not allowed to continue walking laps even when I complied with the rules.
