Takoma Aquatic Center — Attraction in Washington

I came June 1st they closed before the 5pm closing time and told us all to leave.

He made such a scene that majority of the folks in the area stopped and looked. This was quite an embarrassing experience. We expressed our situation to the director on staff. She apologized but honestly we left shortly after. She noted this was not the first complaint about this gentlemen lifeguard!

Great facility… lots of lanes available and parking onsite. It might be the only DC DPR indoor pool facility open on a Sunday. My daughter was trying to get some additional practice in for an upcoming swim meet. We knew the one right near us (Rumsey Eastern Market) was closed. We thought Deanwood was open based on schedule on Google Maps and their recording, but no go there. I’ve since suggested an edit to the Deanwood entry. Thanks for being open Takoma Aquatic Center. They even had a water polo practice same time which was...
