My recent visit to the Cheyenne Municipal Pool left me thoroughly disappointed and frustrated. I had high hopes for a refreshing and enjoyable swimming experience, but unfortunately, my expectations were not met. There were several glaring issues that significantly detracted from the overall experience.
Firstly, upon arriving at the pool, I was dismayed to see an inflatable structure taking up a significant portion of the main pool. This meant that all the patrons had to cram into the much smaller secondary pools, leading to overcrowding and an uncomfortable swimming environment. It was highly inconvenient and made it nearly impossible to have a pleasant swim or enjoy any space to move around freely.
Furthermore, the staff at the Cheyenne Municipal Pool were far from friendly. I encountered indifferent and disinterested attitudes from the moment I arrived. The lack of warmth and hospitality was disappointing, as I had expected the staff to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for all visitors. Their lackluster approach did not enhance the experience in any way and only served to dampen the overall mood.
Another issue I found problematic was the limited open swim hours from 12-2. This scheduling seemed quite arbitrary and inconvenient for many visitors. It's difficult to comprehend why such restrictive hours were chosen, especially when considering that many individuals, including myself, have different schedules and commitments. This policy left me feeling frustrated and unable to fully utilize the pool during the times that were most convenient for me.
Overall, my experience at the Cheyenne Municipal Pool was far from satisfactory. The presence of an inflatable in the main pool leading to overcrowding, the unfriendly staff, and the restrictive open swim hours were significant drawbacks that hindered any potential enjoyment. I would hesitate to recommend this pool to others, as there are likely better options available in the area that prioritize customer satisfaction and provide a more enjoyable...
Read moreI go daily for lap swim. I have regularly for the last 4 years. And off and on for the last 7 years. I do like the new improvements. I like the family showers. I like the way the improvements look. I like the new water slides and the entire new area. The zero entrance water area for small kids is a great idea. I really enjoy the lazy river. I just wish it were bigger. I appreciate what the city has tried to do for the swimmers of Cheyenne. However, I only gave the pool 3 stars. Here's why...the water temperature for the lap pool is very cold. It's not because of a broken water temperature. It's like this every day including for rec swim. The water is much warmer in the new addition. You eventually do adjust to the cold water but it takes a while and you have to keep moving. Often times I will opt to swim on base just because I hate the cold water. A second reason is because the hours are unreliable. Both on the website and on the paper. I have to just call when I want to go to make sure its okay to swim. A third reason...I do enjoy the fact that I can do laps while my kids are enjoying rec swim. I don't like that the lap lanes aren't just for lappers. Kids are free to swim around the lap lanes and get in the way. They aren't made to stay out of that area. Makes it hard to actually do laps during that time. And the last reason is because of how strong the chlorine is. I understand that you have to keep the pool clean. But the chlorine is much stronger than it use to be. It does burn my skin and bothers my asthma. I swim with goggles on at all times, and my...
Read moreNice pools, usually warm but not too warm. There is a kiddie pool play area, smaller pool, lazy river, slides, diving, lap swim and main pool area. Not overly chlorinated. Clean. Courteous. There are benches and a table to sit at if you don't want to swim with the kids. *Prices for open swim are currently $2 (8 and under) $4 (9-17) $5 (18+), military and senior 60+ discounts available. This includes slides, and everything... (2019) *Heads up: they charge extra if you use a card, bring cash.
*Aerobics classes are amazing! I love their fitness classes and highly recommend! This includes participants as well, everyone seems non judgmental and fun. Great workout but low impact and I have arthritis and multiple back problems. You can sign up for monthly classes or just drop in for an occasional class as long as there is room.
*IMO the swimming lessons are redundant and overpriced, even when kids level up it's the same basics. They mix all ages together. I learned multiple strokes, floating, diving, etc in a 6 week swim course when I was 7 in a different state. At this pool... 5 months later and they are still blowing bubbles and get about 5 min max of time to swim/one on one. My kid learned more from me in 2 hours than from months of swim lessons. (Only reason it...
