Great club with three pools. A multi-lane 25 m lap swimming pool, a larger family multi-purpose pool, and a children's playpool. The largest pool has two 33 m swimming lanes, a quite sizable swim area for all ages, a diving well with a water slide and springboard, and a shallow pool area for young children. The clubhouse and gazebo and other built areas of the club where renovated perhaps seven or eight years ago, and look great. It has a snack bar that is unexpectedly good for this type of operation, offering a pretty wide variety of choices. There is also a volleyball net, table tennis tables, and foosball, along with a sand volleyball court. Mini lawn chairs and lots of trees offering opportunity for both sun and shade, and the grounds are also quite nicely landscaped. The other part of the club is out front with numerous tennis courts that see lots of use both by adults and by kids camps during the week.
