About

Warm indoor and outdoor pools and tennis courts at a family-friendly club founded in 1958.

Samena's pools are heated: the outdoor 50-meter pool is maintained at 82°F, the indoor lap pool is typically 84°F, and the indoor warm activity pool is kept at a comfortable 90°F.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews consistently praise the establishment as a long-standing, family-friendly community hub, with many members having been involved for decades. Key highlights include exceptional year-round outdoor and indoor swimming facilities, highly-regarded adult swim lessons with instructors like Amanda, Gary, and Scott, and a popular kids' swim team. Members appreciate the inclusive fitness classes, a never-too-busy gym (despite older equipment), and accessible tennis and pickleball courts. The staff is described as wonderful, contributing to a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The club is seen as a 'hidden gem' and a valuable, affordable alternative to other clubs, offering a range of programs from preschool to kids' camps and before/after school care, making it a highly recommended 'home' for families and individuals alike.

Our family have been members here since 2002. Our kids learned to swim here. We enjoyed being a swim team family for 10 years. I love lap swimming and masters. We have so many fun memories of meets, laffy taffy, endless baked potatoes and early morning masters practice. What makes it special is not just the beautiful outdoor pool for year-round lap swimming outside, the all-inclusive fitness classes, the workout room, the kids’ swim team and the family events - it is the community. It is home.

Great family community health club. Gym is smaller but never busy. Swimming for the kids in the summer is amazing!!!

My family has been members here since I was probably 5 or 6 years old. As an adult, I still enjoy coming here to workout. Many of the machines in the fitness room aren't the newest or fanciest, but I enjoy the atmosphere and seeing familiar faces of staff and fellow members. More recently, we came to play pickle ball! I don't think we've ever had a problem getting a tennis or pickle ball court at Samena. Bottom line, this club is a great addition to the community :-)

A hidden gem! One, if not thee only, year-round outdoor swimming pool with lessons and lap swim, indoor as well, great gym, classes, preschool, amazing kids camps for all ages, affordable before and after school care. Wonderful staff, terrific community 👏👏 👏 If I could give 10 stars, I would. When you have a family and there's a better option to the proclub and Bellevue Club, why you *wouldn't* be a member here is beyond me.

I took two months of adult swim lessons and highly recommend! The instructors Amanda, Gary, and Scott are incredible teachers. They meet students where they are at and build confidence in the water and techniques on how to be better swimmers. I started class with zero knowledge of swimming and quickly learned how to float, breathe, and swim freestyle in 3 weeks. All of the other students in the class were very welcoming and kind as well. If you are looking to learn how to swim or want to brush up your skills, you’re in great hands with the instructors here!
