About

Pool offering swim lessons, diving, and therapy sessions, plus a kiddie section.

The aquatic center maintains its 25-yard lap pool at a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The smaller, 3 1/2-foot deep warm water pool, which is used for swim lessons for young children, water walking, and water exercise, is kept at a warmer 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for the pool are largely positive, with many customers praising its cleanliness, fun staff, and excellent facilities, particularly highlighting the warm therapy pool for winter use and the newly rebuilt indoor pool. It is recommended for classes, general swimming, and birthday parties due to reasonable rates. However, one negative review expressed significant disappointment over strict rules, specifically the immediate prohibition of a small ball, which was perceived as stifling fun and leading to a 'no fun allowed' atmosphere.

"No Fun Allowed!" I went to this pool expecting to have a good time, but apparently fun is against the rules here. I brought a small ball to toss around with my friends, and within minutes a lifeguard came over and told us we couldn't use it. No explanation, no warning—just "not allowed." It’s a pool, not a library. Isn’t the whole point to enjoy yourself? If I wanted to float silently and do nothing, I’d stay in the bathtub. Super disappointed. Won’t be coming back if the “no balls” rule still exists. Might as well rename it the "No Splash Zone."

The therapy pool is nice and warm so it's not too cold to go swimming in the winter. So I take classes in the morning and don't get cold. The instructor is really nice and very kind.
