About
Community recreation center featuring a swimming pool, basketball, and space for private parties.
The main competition pool is typically maintained at a comfortable temperature of 79-81°F (26-27°C). The instructional pool, designed for lessons and younger swimmers, is usually warmer, around 84-86°F (29-30°C). The whirlpool/hot tub is kept at a much higher temperature, generally between 102-104°F (39-40°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Ossining Aquatic Center, located within the Joseph G. Caputo Community Center and managed by the Parks & Recreation Department, provides swimming and aquatic programs for adults and children. Registration, requiring proof of residency, is exclusively for Ossining and Briarcliff residents. While the pool itself is well-maintained, the showers and toilets are noted as aged. The center offers a variety of programs, including an active Spartan swim team, and is highly praised for its swim lessons. Reviewers highlight the excellent staff, small class sizes, children's rapid skill development, and the instructors' kindness and care. Beyond aquatics, the community center is an active hub, hosting a museum (for Weir tours) and providing space for diverse activities like self-defense classes and private events, catering to all ages.

I didn't actually go to the center for any of their activities and didn't know they had a pool until leaving much later in the day. However, I do go there for a guided tour of the Weir, a part of the Croton Reservoir System. The operators of the tour have a small museum located inside the community center. What I did see of the community center aside from the museum was an active part of the community that provided space for a wide range of people to use of all ages. There was an adolescent class of self defense taking place not too far from where I was at the museum and on the lower level there was a private party about to start around 1pm or so.. this is a place I would love to go if I lived in the community.

We love the recreation center! My boys are both taking swim lessons here and they love it. The staff is great with the kids, the classes are small and I am amazed at how quickly they are gaining confidence and skills in the water.

Can't even begin to explain how surprisingly wonderful the experience has been so far at the ossining rec center, my 4 yrs old is so excited to go swimming and following the instructions they're giving him, also, the kindness and care of the instructors is unbelievable. Kudos to the staff!
