What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed but predominantly negative picture of the facility. Multiple customers reported extremely poor experiences, citing disrespectful and unprofessional lifeguards who were accused of being drunk, using phones while on duty, and enforcing arbitrary or unannounced rules to avoid their responsibilities, leading to long wait times. Significant concerns were also raised about hygiene, with claims of unsanitized pools and bathrooms. Other criticisms included restrooms closing too early for a children's facility, a small pool, and swim classes needing more staff and better planning. Conversely, one positive review highlighted a great family environment, positive summer camp experiences for children, and praised the director.

Great family environment. My children spent many summer camps here. The director is a great person.

Absolutely disgusting experience, the lifeguards were disrespectful and they were drunk on duty, they were talking to each other on duty and very unnecessary rules unannounced. It feels like they were making up rules just so they don’t have to do their job. Overall very bad experience whatever you do, DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT ASBESTOS AND DISRESPECT.

Horrible experience and unnecessary rules, disrespect from the side of the life guards. If you come here, beware of these people and their rules. They were talking to each other while on duty and had us waiting for over an hour. Then told us that the rules had changed and told us about these rules unannounced so they don’t do their job. They were also using their phones while doing their job. They do not sanitize the pool and the bathrooms. I highly recommend you don’t come to this place and go somewhere better and more respectful. This experience was NOT GOOD.

Please keep the restrooms open. It's unreasonable for a children's facility to have the bathrooms closed at 5 p.m. on a Sunday.

The pool is small, swim classes need more staff to focus on each kid better. The staff should make a good plan before classes, instead of winging it all the time.
