What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Zembiec Pool is generally considered a good option for military members, offering a comfortable temperature year-round, but it faces significant criticisms. Recurring issues include poor cleanliness, with mentions of a dirty bottom, a 'green pool' with imbalanced chemicals, and a general need for better maintenance. Management is frequently criticized for inconsistency, extended closures (including a full winter and current closures), and unreliable opening times. Users also suggest improvements such as adding more sunbeds, dedicating lanes for lap swimming, and providing lifeguards for weekend sessions, especially during fall and winter. There are also mentions of potential ongoing problems with the pool's dome.

Poor management of the facility. The pool itself was closed all winter and now it remains closed with a green pool and imbalanced chemicals. Very hit and miss on when it opens. Consistency would be a big plus.

We really like the Zembiec Pool. Only wish they had lifeguards for Saturday swimming especially during the fall & winter months.

Great place if you're military to swim. During the Winter they have a canvas cover over it so it stays a nice temperature. And during the summer it's just as nice.

Better than any public pool off-base, but still needs some work. There aren't many sunbeds(?) to lay on even though there's tons of open space. It seems to need a lot of cleaning too. The bottom is just filled with dirt, like a platoon came through after a mud run and jumped in with all their boots and ut.s on (might have actually been the case...). They could close a couple lanes down for lap swimming as an Active Marine and I were doing laps, people with kids at the shallow side just kept getting in the way.
