Good for high school or smaller events. Good seating could use better airflow, pool could use small improvements. Got funded pool thru school system. State neglects schools unless you're predominantly white so funding has not been allocated appropriately for such a facility. Shame on the state this has potential to be a top 10 school pool.

I've been with the Northside Otters Swim Team for almost 7 years at North. Great coaches and the team comaderie between the kids is the best! Viewing and seating areas for the pool are very good.

Just happy to see they are remembering Lonny! One of the best men, I've had the pleasure to know! He is missed..... Thank you to all of the Kerman family! Bet it was hard to share such a good man... He's touched many of us in such a positive way! He won't be forgotten...

There for swim practice for my son. The Otters are a great swim program. The pool is older but still works well most of the time.
