My grandchildren are taking swim lessons here Everything was neat and clean and the people were very inviting. I felt very welcome here. And their lessons are going amazingly well. They even have a little kiddy pool off to the side for the younger ones who are too young for lessons 🤗

I am a member since 2005. I am extremely disappointed at the club's board - lack of reconciled financial statements, poor decision making on hiring, and inappropriate use of free memberships for board members. Big membership meeting on Oct 7 should allow the removal of the current board.
