Clarksville Aquatic Center — Attraction in Clarksville

I have been several times. Usually a good place to come and swim. The entrance fee isn’t too bad and the concession stand prices aren’t too bad, however the lines are horrible and they take forever. I give them a one star for usually being a good place. However today we went for less than 2 hours because someone pooped in the kiddie area, which I understand they can’t control. So they left open the slides and the lazy river, I have an infant, and we had already paid to get in and they don’t do any refunds at all, but we were there for the kiddie area but since it was closed we were gonna go get in the lazy river because I can’t do the slides with her and all the tubes were gone so I wanted to just get in the water and so we just got in the lazy pool without a floatie and we went around it 2-3 times and life guards had seen us and didn’t say anything besides one certain life guard did and she was so rude about it and I had explained to her that other lifeguards had seen us and didn’t say anything to us and she just walked away and so I was a little irritated but we were just gonna get out and ignore it and then I watched her walk over to the other life guard and start talking about us and pointing at us and so I got really mad. She also was wearing a bathing suit that wasn’t kid appropriate. She was wearing a thong bikini, so her whole butt was out. Some other life guards weren’t even paying attention and was turned around talking to the girls playing volleyball on the other side of the fence. I feel like they could’ve just left us alone since she couldn’t get into the kiddie area and I couldn’t put her in a tube and even if I wanted to, there wasn’t any available. I wasn’t even mad about that, what made me mad was because she went and was talking about me and pointing at me and my 3 month old infant. Probably won’t be back for a awhile. We will go to another water park. I would rather drive further for a better one anyways. They also make you take out your piercings which I don’t understand and they were giving my lesbian best friends dirty looks. All the life guards...

Update 2/28/24: last year was a rough year for the pool between construction, fire and the. nationwide post lock down lack of willing workers but it started out so far ahead of every place else and there are still a few leveled headed employees who have a caring concern for ALL the community and I forsee the pool pulling forward again. After al, It is the home of the First Place State Boys and Girls Swim Teams in their size class. SO update your insurance info or write your check and leap into another year of fitness at the CAC!

Update: the place is not the same as when I worked and swam there daily. Less community. But it is still awesome, especially when taken in conjunction with the Marvin Vincent. You have an exercise room, pickleball and the pool/exercise room can be paid by your Sliver Sneakers/Silver Fit whatever Medicare Advantage plan

The indoor pool far exceeds anything you would expect of a town this size. The prices are reasonable with the longer pass discounts. There are "extras" if you are looking for more than lap swimming or a...

Came from out of town, one hour round trip. Made the mistake of attending on a weekend in high heat. We were the last family to go through before they reached capacity. Got in the pool for 2 minutes before the whistles blew for a 20 minute break. My youngest son (4) is autistic and immediately had a meltdown being told we had to get out of the water we just got in. It was very hard to recover from the 20 minutes of pure agony for him. We left shortly after for the creek. I understand life guards needing a break, maybe think of a more inclusive solution like a rotating schedule instead of a major pool shut down? I don’t know the solution I’m just thankful my husband and I are capable of ignoring the stares of the entire waterpark as we try to console a child who isn’t capable of regulating his emotions with patience and kindness. We will likely avoid this water park in the future and don’t recommend for littles on...
