Idk why it says on the google map that this place was closed. The reviews were 5 years ago but they have been opened. Took my kid here for swimming lessons two years ago and it was great. We also went today for the opening of summer family swim. The water is clean. Pretty good amount of lifeguards. Decent bathroom/shower area

A Norfolk hidden gem. Friendly Lifeguard staff. Great place to lounge in the sun or cool off or swim laps. There is also a large, shallow toddler pool for the little ones.

Really helpful lifeguard. Gabe was great. 5 stars for him. Because of him I would definitely recommend. The indoor pool would get 3 stars. It is really harsh on the eyes so protect ur 👀.
