I joined because it was a good price and my daughter could swim with me. Unfortunately, she has gotten sick nearly every time we swim. The pool is only 80 something degrees so NOT warm at all and if it is being treated at all, it's being treated poorly. It is salt water but that's is not keeping that pool clean. My daughter is 3 so naturally she is going to get water in her mouth... Every other pool we have been to, that hasn't been an issue. But this pool has made her sick three times now. I will not be taking her here again. I can overlook the run down facility and old equipment. But the pool making her sick is not okay.

I am very big on privacy, which I have more of at this center. They also provide a indoor basketball court, indoor swimming pool, sauna, massage area, full, heated racquetball court, up-to-date equipment, and the most helpful staff!! And I'm somewhat picky. So it definitely meets my standards for it to be one of the oldest, operating gyms in Longview.
