This is like my second home! I love all the lifeguards and they keep all the noisy teenagers in check. I’m so grateful they keep the pool clean for us, when I had a nose bleed the lifeguards jumped straight into action and I felt so safe!!! Bathrooms are absolutely spotless, their music is always clean and I dance to it every day! Definitely recommend visiting this amazing place with your kiddos

I was here on my birthday and I didn't like it every 30 minutes we all had to get out of the pool and stay outside for a while I don't know for what purpose I just know that it was boring so much going in and out the rest is very clean but very boring

If I could give a lower rating I would, the life guards were disrespectful and rude. Laughed at the people swimming and made fun of people, heard them do it several times. We were so uncomfortable we ended up just leaving. Worst pool I have ever been to, of course not a single adult working there. Just a bunch of mean girls and the guys were weirdos too. Will never go back, it would be such a good place to go if they’d hire better lifeguards that actually payed station to swimmers and not gossiping with each other.
