About

Warm-water pool for lap swimming and water aerobic exercise, plus a waterslide, a play area, and a diving board.

The lap pool at the Clara R McKenna Aquatic Center is generally maintained at approximately 82-84°F. The leisure pool, designed for warmer water activities and therapy, is typically kept around 90°F. The hot tub is usually much warmer, ranging from 102-104°F.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews reveal a mixed bag of experiences. Positives include warm, clean indoor water and air, clean pool and party areas, a good range of pool depths for all ages, and available toys, with some lifeguards noted as respectful and allowing kids to have fun. However, significant negative feedback was reported, including a rough slide, inaccurate website hours leading to wasted trips, and recurring issues with staff. Specific complaints include rude and overly strict lifeguards who were described as yelling and imposing too many restrictions on children's play, a staff member demonstrating poor customer service by throwing change, and a very strict 'arms reach' policy for supervising multiple children (more than two per adult) that was not communicated before payment, leading to frustration and no refunds. There was also a mention of green areas in the pool.

We loved this place! Indoor water was warm, air was warm, everything appeared clean in the pool area and party room. The lifeguard were respectable yet reasonable and let the kids have fun! Loved the shallow to deep pool for all ages to have fun, plus all the toys at their disposal! My only complaint was how rough the slide was, every section had a ridge that felt like it was tearing at your skin.

The last time I was there, back in July the life guard was very rude and wouldn’t stop yelling at every little thing. Kids can’t be kids and play because there is to many restrictions. Also, there was areas in the pool area that were green.

A few months ago the heavyset girl didn't hand me my change; she actually threw it on the counter toward me. She definitely didn't seem to enjoy her job.

If you have more than two kids plan not to go unless there's more adults. The 10 minutes I was there they came up to me n my kids 3 times so say my 4 children had to be in arms reach. Kidding me! It's swimming n maybe say something b4 we pay like hey a rule we have is just keeping kids in arms reach instead with til we pay then make us leave. Or refund it would have been appreciated. They would have had a better time having a ice cream instead we left with broken hearts.
