Nice center. Clean shower and locker room. Many swimming lanes but could get a bit crowded when some lanes got closed.

Great facility that is well maintained. The staff is helpful and aware of what's going on in the premises. Clean and spacious changing rooms with showers, lockers etc. Also have accessories like floats and flippers. Good place to practice swimming alone, in groups or just spending time with friends and family.

My family usually swims at a pool owned by our apartment complex but it was closed today so we decided to give this place a try. We only paid $1/child and $2/adult, so far so good. Like all indoor pools, the floor in the locker room was very wet and the sounds of screaming kids echoed off the walls.What made this pool less enjoyable for us was the set up of the lap/open plunge areas. About 2/3 of the pool is roped off for lap swimmers (which is fine. If I was swimming laps I wouldn't want kids in my way either). Of the remaining area, about half of it is 15 ft deep for divers. The area left over from that has a basketball hoop. This means that the majority of children are in the same area as the people playing ball. My daughter and I are each strong enough swimmers to keep our heads above water so we spent about half of our time at the deep end, but when we were tired and went to the shallow end to rest we were plunged into utter chaos.After swimming, we found that the showers (at least the ones we tried) were cold-luke warm and ended up going home to shower.All in all, we got what we paid for and it helped sooth the frustration that the pool we were intending to visit was closed. That being said, next time I will likely go somewhere else.

Very affordable for swimming. Water is colder than posted temperature online so we could only stay 15 min with our baby. No inflatables are allowed, which again was hard with a baby, but they have infant life jackets that you can use for free. Staff was friendly and approachable

If no-nonsense swimming as exercise is your thing, this is your pool. It's clean, well maintained and has helpful staff.Lap swimming is plentiful. Even when open swim is happening, there is usually a lane or two for lap swim.There is a swim team that practices there in the early afternoon a couple days each week. This does use up lanes, so be mindful. Otherwise, expect lanes to swim Monday thru Saturday at most any time.They have tons of locker space, fins and kick boards. Bring your own goggles, paddles, and towels.If it's winter outside, bring two towels. The large open space makes it difficult to keep the air as warm as some might like, but the water temperature is very consistent and checked regularly throughout the day.Personally, I prefer the cooler air. Working out in lower temperatures is now shown to increase calorie burning and thus aid in weight loss. I prefer on the cool air to help maintain a lower healthier weight. And really, it's not extreme, just cooler than some expect, but not that much cooler.Don't let the attached photo put you off. I took it at closing time when house lights were dimmed and pool lights still on. I wish it had a time when thus was how it was set for swimming because this is my favorite swimming environment. It is completely meditative and immersive.

This aquatic center is very nice. I used to help coach a swim team here and the staff was very friendly!The pool is large and clean; also, the chemicals in the pool are not very harsh. This is in stark contrast to various other public pools I have been to.There is a playground and a large field that you can use as well. Overall, a great place for kids!

Beautiful outdoor pool and an overall clean facility. Great experience each time I work out there. I just wish their locker systems were complimentary.

Pool is great. Staff at pool is nice. Staff out front is not. Locker room is really dirty and they can't seem to do anything about it
