Love this pool because of all the diversity of its members also the children can swim and within close proximity play in the playground or play basketball or softball and just hang out the people are peaceful and the staff are very sweet. 2022 season I arrive with my two boys and the associate allow them to swimWhen we were missing something important. It was a 95° day with an hour left to swim and she let them hop in that was so sweet of her bless her heart.
