Good place for a break from the outdoors in the winter. Also a good place for a kids party idea. Give it a try for an alternative party plan.

I've been going here for a bit over a year. The staff is friendly and responsive. Cindy on the front desk knows my name on sight. The locker rooms are clean and stocked with necessary items (at least on the men's side). The water is slightly cooler than I prefer but I adjust after a few laps. Afterwards, I go to the weight room and exercise on the machines, using muscles that swimming just doesn't do enough. Exhausted, I go home with a smile.

I've brought my two nieces for an afternoon of fun and I currently attend for morning water aerobics. The instructors are very friendly and nice, the facility is very clean but once you're done swimming, the smell of chlorine lingers on your skin even after I shower at the pool and again at my own home!! The smell lingers on & on and is just awful. Also, many women have also mentioned in the Ladies locker room that there needs to be more anti-skid mats put down as the cement floor is constantly wet & slippery from the showers to the lockers. This is the reason why I gave 4 stars. P.S. Bring your own lock to secure your personal belongings!!

It was a good time for the younger kids and a time to relax for the adults. Who doesn't enjoy cooling off on a hot summer day. To hot for the kiddos outside? Are they driving you crazy running around inside? Pack them up and take them to the pool. Problem solved.

Although this pool was built with good intentions, it missed a little. The shallow childrens area is colorful and fun, but there's not much else to do for the slightly older set. The three diving boards are great when they're available. There's just something missing - perhaps a giant slide, running track around the upper deck, something. Also needs pegs along the walls for towels so people don't take up the limited benches with their wet stuff. Needs too a small snack bar maybe upstairs - even just some vending and tables.
