About

Popular aquatic center offering lap, free and kids' pools, plus a splash park.

The facility typically maintains its Olympic-sized competition pool at a temperature of approximately 78-80°F (25.5-26.7°C), suitable for lap swimming and competitive training. The recreation pool is generally warmer, usually around 82-84°F (27.8-28.9°C), to provide comfort for families, recreational swimmers, and swim lessons. Specific temperatures may vary based on conditions and operational adjustments.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This aquatic center is highly praised as an excellent, clean, and family-friendly 'hidden gem,' especially suitable for kids due to its water playground and well-organized events like Easter water egg hunts. Visitors appreciate the attentive lifeguards, great customer service, and friendly staff. The facility boasts two pools (one regular temperature, one warmer) and is generally not overly crowded. While admission fees vary for residents and non-residents, most agree it offers great value. The main suggestion for improvement is extending the limited public swim hours (typically 1-3 pm) for those not attending classes.

Great place to take the kidos for a swim. Today (April 19) they had a cool water egg hunt event for easter $10 per person for residents and $2 for adult companions (not getting in the water). The entrance included cookie decoration and toy prices for the water egg hunt. Facilities are supper clean and staff is very nice. Every hour they do a water break and if you take snacks is a perfect time to eat them. My son love it and weather was perfect. I recommend taking your shampoo when kids get out of the pool they can rinse really good and ready to go. Usually when there is no event is $2 per person last summer. I didn’t check this time.

It was a great experience, and I took my family. Everyone was in shock with the customer service and the lifeguards keeping us all safe. This is a real hidden gem. A must for kids, they a water playground.

This is an excellent pool! Technically two of them - one maintained at regular swimming pool temperature, the other slightly warmer. It wasn't busy either, apart from several lanes reserved for swim team practice - I still had a lane to myself. Visitors pay double for admission ($8 per adult instead of $4 for local residents), but it's well worth it! If I lived in the area, I'd be here every day!

Great place for families and to take your kids here only issue is the hours only 1-3 pm if you don't use the classes. Hope they can fix it
