Weird private gated pool on public land. Good luck figuring out how to use it: their website is pretty broken.

Looking for a place to swim that is she and open early. There are no hours posted on Yelp and the website is not compatible with a phone. After I managed to find the hours I was shocked at the complete absence of lap swimming in the morning.

Great swimming lesson Coach.. You can sit at a little picnic table and watch. There is a safety gate also.

You need to pay a yearly membership and volunteer some days to do some pool facility maintenance or pool deck life guard duty. Should make enquiries at ARPD.

“Members only pool”. White people doing white things. Basically saying “Whites only”. You gotta have money to swim in this water 💦
