The pool itself is nice for both lap swimming and for young kids and the lifeguards are really nice and attentive.
Unfortunately, the supervisor isn't great with communicating rules, nor are the higher ups willing to hear people out. I went here to practice butterfly and do different dolphin kick exercises with one of my monofins. This is not a knockoff but a safe, quality piece of equipment. I have ten years of swim experience and I specifically took a SSI mermaid certification so that I'd know advanced techniques and safety in all conditions. I was doing my best to stay out of anyone's way to avoid accidentally bonking into people. I also do not attempt any long breath holds and I always breathe at least once per 25 meters and take breaks to rest and drink water. For the record I did everything right safety wise
Everyone was 100% fine with it for several weeks when I went in for workouts but one day, the supervisor told a lifeguard to kick me out. I offered to do a swim skills test and show my SSI mermaid certification but unfortunately they said no. The lifeguard was nice but the supervisor's responses made me feel really unwelcome and had no explanation.
I know different pools have different rules so usually I check those but it wasn't on the website at all and nobody informed me until some random Saturday. Considering the way it was handled it kinda seems like it never actually was a valid safety concern and more like something that people just made up out of the blue.
I'm still gonna give 4 stars since the pool is nice for kids and the rest of the staff are genuinely so nice and chill but if you do mermaid training or any sort of butterfly with fins training I'd reccommend you go somewhere else. Who knows what they'll ban next with no warning and no official rule. Bifins? Kickboards? Pull buoys? I wouldn't...
Read moreThe lady at the front today had a horrible attitude and was so rude. We just got a membership to all the rec centers yesterday and wanted to just look around here. All others have let us. She also gave us an attitude about our daughter because we have two babies so I guess she assumed I couldn’t have two under two?. We had already scanned our membership cards so obviously we would have had a membership for her too and we knew we had to pay for her if she was over two years, which she is not yet. She literally stared us down as we were leaving. I was so excited about trying this place out too. I recommend trying any of the other rec...
Read more2 pools - one for taller people and lap swimming with 2 diving boards (regular height and 10’) and a small children’s’ pool where adult supervision is suggested. Also a splash area for children that are too young to be in the kid’s pool alone. Sometimes the chlorine in the air is overwhelming so if you have any breathing issues, you may want to go to one of the outdoor pools. The “rules” fluctuate depending on who is at the front desk and who is “in charge” on any particular day at this pool, but this is the result when you have teenagers running the...
