About
Facility with an indoor pool that's suitable for both competitive swimming and leisure activities.
The lap pool at Takoma Aquatic Center is typically maintained at a temperature between 80-82°F (26.7-27.8°C). The leisure pool, designed for recreation and family use, is generally warmer, staying around 86-88°F (30-31.1°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility generally receives praise for being large, clean, and well-suited for swimming and classes, with some instructors noted as excellent. However, several significant issues were reported, including rude and unhelpful staff, particularly at the front desk and from one lifeguard deemed 'petty' for confronting a pregnant woman about her attire. Safety concerns were raised regarding worn, torn, and oversized children's life jackets. Other amenity issues include the lack of a changing table in the men's restroom and the kiddie pool being unexpectedly drained without staff providing an explanation or estimated return to service. Some visitors also experienced early closings and found the main pool to be a bit too cold.

I came June 1st they closed before the 5pm closing time and told us all to leave. Came back the next day and the life jackets for the children were terrible all worn and torn up the jackets they did have were way over sized and would hide my daughters entire face which is unsafe let alone uncomfortable what I did appreciate was the nice life guard that saw and said she would ask her supervisors to order more. She told me to enjoy my swim very cool and chill. This other lady about 20-25 mins into me getting into the pool comes over and says I have to remove my cover up I’m 5 months pregnant and don’t feel comfortable with exposing my body and I should be able to wear what I choose I’m grown and you have more concerning issues which I have mentioned above than to be concerned with what a grown woman is wearing!! The other life guard said nothing so why are you harassing me !! I can’t stand people like her how you see my child and myself off in a corner of the pool because the kids are splashing hard and you say nothing but make it your business to confront me she needs to be worried about her job and doing a better job at it than my attire . It gave she was being funny and just wanted to say something because the other nice life guard didn’t even say nothing about it but here come this chick being petty!!

Took my seven month old baby to swim on a Sunday around noon, and we had a good time. Quite a few people there but did not seem super busy. Very nice, large and clean facility. I wish the pool were a bit warmer. Knocking off a star because the kiddie pool was drained and none of the staff could tell me anything about why or when it would be back in business. I heard it was renovated last year so it makes zero sense why it was not up and running.

No changing table in the men's restroom. Completely unacceptable to have a multi million dollar facility and no diaper changing station. Had to change the Baba on the sink counter. Not optimal. Otherwise, if you go for swimming is a great facility.

The place is fantastic. but the lady at the front desk is very rude and very mean. She is not willing to help no body she would not be there . Is very rude. She doesn’t know what is costumer service or guest assistance. This lady is not good for this job.
