About
Sports center featuring a pool, weight training and fitness classes.
The swimming pool at the Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center is consistently maintained at 80 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 26.7 degrees Celsius).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This recreation center is generally well-regarded for its affordability and comprehensive facilities, which include a pool, gym, and basketball court. Many reviewers highlight the friendly and accepting staff, clean environment, and good swimming experiences, noting both warm and refreshingly cool spring-fed water options, dedicated lap hours, and sandy entries for children. Lifeguards are also praised for friendly rule enforcement. However, there are consistent criticisms regarding a small and often crowded weight room with limited equipment, a lack of amenities like towels, and "creepy" pool drains. A significant negative point is the presence of one specific female employee in the women's locker room, described as exceptionally rude and aggressive, which has notably detracted from the experience for some patrons. Despite these drawbacks, many visitors find it to be excellent value and intend to return.

Came here last week with some of my friends. They r all really cute twinks and as a guy I absolutely love swimming with other guys shirtless. We got here and did my favorite thing which was getting changed in the locker room. I love watching my friends all shirtless hot guys get changed. We went swimming in the pool and had a hell of a great time . We saw the pool drains in the deep end and got really nervous and scared. They were CREEPY! I swore they were gonna suck us down into the backrooms. Yea we stayed away from them because they were soooky . The staff here was really friendly and accepting of us super gay slay queens. We will most definitely be returning here as the pool water was warm and the facility was super clean . Below is pics of the creepy drains as well as me and the boys hanging out shirtless together.

Spring-fed water stays refreshingly cool all summer. Lifeguards actually enforce rules while keeping it friendly. The sandy entry is perfect for kids, while lap swimmers get dedicated morning hours. Clean changing rooms with private showers.

A complete gym with swimming pool, workout center, fitness rooms, basketball court for those that don’t want to spend a fortune at a competitor for gym basics. Annual membership fees are close to what you would pay for one month at a leading high end gym in the area. With the price will definitely be sacrifices to amenities such as no towels and not as much gym equipment so there might be a wait to use the machines.

Most of the staff at this recreation center are very friendly, and the pricing is excellent for people under 24. I usually come here to swim, and it’s generally a good experience. However, there is one female employee in the women’s locker room who is unbelievably rude—easily the rudest person I’ve encountered in the state. She has scolded me twice in an unrelenting and aggressive manner, glaring at me the entire time. Both times, she even mentioned that cleaning the locker room isn’t her job. If that’s how she feels, maybe she should find a job she’s more willing to do. Her attitude completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable swimming experience.
