I think it’s important to know that they charge a fee to swim and then children must pass a very strict swim test in order to go in above knee level. They failed one of my kids for her elbows not coming out of the water and the other was told they “barely” pass. These kids are on a year round swim team and know all four strokes. I watched six other kids fail and one pass. One kid failed because he touched the bottom jumping off the float. So 8 kids tested and 2 passed. My kid told me they never want to swim again after their interaction with the lifeguard testing them. Go somewhere else if your kids are above the age of 5 and actually want to swim. They won’t be able to swim here. Also no refunds if the kids don’t pass the test.

We left because this beach is a waste of time.It cost nine dollars to go in a tiny little amount of water?So many rules for such a...

Picked up an Italian beef sandwich at Bella Gusto. Drove 2 blocks, grabbed one of the few remaining open parking spaces, and sat at a picnic table shaded by trees. It was 90°, but wanted to eat outside. There are 8 tables. Only 1 other was taken.

I used to ride my bike to the beach and swim laps early in the morning. However, as I have picked up swimmers' or duck itch (a parasite) when I swam in Lac LaBelle, I joined the Y, swim in the pool, and only have used the beach a couple of times in the past 4 years. If you do swim, rinse off and towel dry by rubbing to reduce duck itch. The itching lasts for 2...
