Clean facility for competitions with a 25-yard pool and a swimming-lessons program.
The competition pool at the Michael D. Holland Aquatic Center is typically maintained at a temperature suitable for competitive swimming, generally around 78-80°F (25.5-26.7°C). The instructional or warm-up pool is usually kept warmer for comfort, lessons, and therapy, often in the range of 86-88°F (30-31.1°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This venue is highly regarded by swimmers, with many noting improvements in performance and a positive experience for participants, including various high school, club, and learn-to-swim programs, as well as public swim. However, for spectators, the facility is described as somewhat dated, with limited seating, poor air circulation (strong chlorine), and small restrooms. Its location is also mentioned as being a bit remote.

I love this place, my niece is improving and is now part of the team.
Nice venue. A bit far from everything but a decent amount of seating. Pool time seems accurate.
One of the venues that frequently hosts swim meets for Gulf Swimming, but unfortunately it is getting a bit dated & the experience for spectators is generally not that great. Somewhat limited spectator seating on bleachers, but you probably don't want to sit indoors for too long anyway since this place is renowned for having poor air circulation & coupled with the strong chlorine in the air, you would be better off setting up a shade or tent outside. It only has a small bathroom with limited number of cubicles, so don't go there when you have an upset stomach =)
Great faculty that provides space for highschool, Jr. High teams, Club teams, learn to swim lessons, as well as open swim for the public.
It was a great place to finish our swim season. Both my kids dropped time and had a lot of fun.
