About

Indoor public swimming pool offering lessons and monthly passes.

Specific pool temperatures for the Henley Aquatic Center are not consistently published or readily available in general public information. Outdoor aquatic centers typically maintain comfortable water temperatures, often in the high 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit, during their operational season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the swimming facility are mixed, highlighting both positive aspects and significant concerns. Positively, visitors appreciate the great pricing, clean facilities, and accessibility features like a wheelchair ramp, with some finding it a wonderful place for indoor swimming. However, a prominent complaint across multiple reviews is the water temperature, described as 'way too cold,' causing children to shiver and have blue lips, leading to cancelled swim lessons. In contrast, one reviewer noted the water wasn't freezing. Other issues include overcrowding, which reportedly leads to filtration problems and 'stuff tumbling through the water.' A significant safety concern was the perceived lack of lifeguard enforcement of rules, resulting in unsafe activities like tackling and unsupervised children, impacting other swimmers. Spectators also noted high humidity.

It sure would be nice if lifeguards would enforce the clearly posted rules. I'm barely 5'2 and 130lbs almost full term while pregnant and I kept getting run over by people 300lbs, playing football and tackling each other right on top of my kids and me. These same people were not attending to or paying attention to their own children, who kept kicking me and knocking into me and my pregnant belly. The pool is also so cold that it didn't take long for my kids' lips to turn blue, as well as mine. Over I would say this place is not kid-friendly which is sad because it's attached to a school.

It's actually a wonderful place. Just a little overcrowded. There was stuff tumbling through the water! Tried ignoring it. My son was there for SCUBA. As a spectator it was miserable because of the humidity. Just glad the water wasn't freezing. So, I'll deal with the humidity since I am able to step outside. Just too many people for filtration to keep up with. Love that there's a wheelchair ramp in the pool!

Great Pricing! I signed my son up for swim lessons, the water was WAY to cold. All the kids were shivering and lips turning blue. Ended up cancelling the last 2 swim classes. Water needs to be warmer for sure!

Great place for some indoor swimming. Clean pool and facilities. Kids side has a ramp that leads into a 3.6’ side. Diving board area is 12’ going down to 5’.
