Rusch Park Pool — Local services in Citrus Heights

2025 review: invested in a swim pass because of issues last summer. I am enjoying this pool. But with its already extremely limited public swim hours, I really wish they'd do something about swim meets going over time.

Finally, 45 minutes after they should be open, someone comes and tells us they only are taking cash! Absolute...

Great facility. It's commendable that they have a zero depth pool entry so that they are inclusive. Very happy that they are open for swim lessons during the pandemic. I was really worried my kids would lose their skills. They take your temperature before you enter the facility and everyone is 6 feet apart. The instructors all stay six feet apart from participants as well as wear masks, even in the...
