Pool is much larger in person than it looks in photos. Shallow end is nice and shallow with many points of entry, including stairs and ladders. There is a diving board in the deep end. Plenty of floaties, toys, and life jackets to use. Water temp was 84° and lovely. Only things I didn't like were that there were no lockers that I was able to see, which means all your belongings are just sitting out in the change room. Or you can bring them out of the deck and leave them on a bench. Other thing was that the pool deck was VERY slippery!

Staff don’t know how to behave with people who come there for first or second time but they know how to discriminate with them. Lifeguards just want to talk with people to whom they know, or just stick to their cellphones…i don’t think cellphones are allowed or should be allowed on deck.
