Very unimpressed I recommend looking somewhere else if your looking for a pool. I've been going to this pool all my life and it has always very by the book in terms of rules which is ok but there needs to be some better coordination between the life guards.

I took my 2 nephews here on Friday June 13th 2025 for free swimming for a work event.

So i was watching my nephews and they had been switching between the deep end and the blue slide they were having a blast! All of a sudden one of the female lifeguards asked my younger nephew to stand by there measurement board to see if he was tall enough to go on the slide other wise you have swim 2 wits and she gave him the thumbs up.

then they switch back to the deep end of the pool again and jump off the diving board i did buy him a life jacket then they decide to go back to the blue slide this time there is a guy watching the slide and id say they go about 5 times down the slide with this guy life guard watching all of a sudden this guy asks my younger nephew to stand by there measurement board

Now all of a sudden he is not tall enough ok so he goes and tries his 2 wits which he couldnt do I finded this extremely od as the first life guard told him that he could go on the blue slide but now he has to with his life jacket

So i tell my nephew that he is allowed to go on the blue slide as the first life guard said he could And i told him id be there if the life guard said something. So we walk up to the slide and the life guard blows his whistle and yells “hey buddy you cant go on the slide” so i ask him “how come the first life guard said he could but now all of a sudden he cant”

and the life guard explains now he cant cause he couldnt swim his 2 wits and he tells me if i have an issue i can speak to his manager so i tell him i have a lot of issues and we leave i did not have time for those shenanigans. I will be avoiding this pool going forward until...

Areas that need improvement, teenagers aprox 15 to 20 playing rough around deep end gave us shivers on how dangerous that was, not one lifeguard stopping this behavior Having constant balls hitting us in the head,telling lifeguards and having them walk away not attending to the issue.Was this fun for us not at all paying for 1 hour 45 mins and leaving in 35 mins due to lack of rules being followed, are there actually adult lifeguards in this pool?someone is bound to get seriously injured here by lack of supervision? In hopes this does not fall on deaf...

Affordable fun for the whole family! It is now a family tradition to go here every year

Absolutely love this place! The water is super clean, the layout is great for both little kids and older ones, and there’s always something going on. Lifeguards are very professional and clearly well-trained — felt completely safe the whole time. It’s also really affordable, even if you just want to get a deck pass and hang out. Great value and tons of fun — we’ll...
