What a great swimming pool! This is a relatively new swimming complex, so everything is in good condition. Our swim team had a competition here and everything was fantastic. Starting blocks were solid. Lane lines kept the wakes down. The water was clear and just the right temperature.The timing system was nice. All the numbers were visible in the daylight and there were no missing lights.Plenty of bleachers for the swimmers to share during the meet. There was also plenty of shaded areas for the parents to stay out of the sun.The facility is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking when you arrive.

Ive been to this pool a few times over the last year, and it is fantastic! It can be crowded during the times youd expect, like weekends and hot days during kids summer break. I usually come here for lap swim and have enjoyed it every time. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean and new, and the water is fantastic.

Lot of community events and programs during week and weekends. Cute playground that was recently built that open to the public. There is an aquatic center here as well

Winter break camp...great price but.. Two siblings in the program body shamed my kid. The group of kids there all joined in with laughter! When staff asked why my kid was crying and then staff cried too?? First, why were they able to go on like that and then at that unnoticed!?! Watch our kids!!!! Second, what in the world was the staff crying for? Thats a sign of weakness and unacceptable. Show these kids to be strong! The situation was handled incorrectly. My kid was devastated as well as didnt want to go back. We took a day off talked about the situation and my kid went back and persevered just for more to go on. Im disgusted, disappointed and overall shocked.. My kids grandmother was transportation. They asked her about me filling out papers to make her a drop off/pick up person. I give them a call Monday about the papers, told theyll be sent home with her. Then they email papers and unfortunately Im not tech-savvy so I call again let them know I need papers. Thursday! Thursday her grandmother takes her lunch and they now are tripping off these papers and saying they need them today at pick up. 1 day of day camp left and theyre just now super concerned after days pass. The whole thing was a hot mess. If you dont mind sending your kids to an unsupervised day camp were staff do lil to nothing as well as bullying from other kids ignored or unnoticed. This is the place for you and yours.

1st time visit today, a Tuesday. Rec Swim (open swim) 1:30-4 pm during the week. $5.00 per person. Not bad although it starts to add up for families. 3 options on pools. One is beach style with gradual slope to 1 foot 6 inches deep. This is attached to another pool that is 3.5 to 4.5feet deep. Rail and steps into this section handy for 80+ mother-in-law with unstable feet.Another pool in adjacent area runs 3.5 to 14 feet with diving area and lanes.Plenty of chairs and bleachers.Quite a few lifeguards on duty and they are quick to make sure the rules are followed.Seemed like a lot of kids when we got there, then the summer camp got out at 3:00 and then there were a lot less.Spray play area adjacent to pools.Staff were friendly.Options for swim lessons and water aerobics available.Definitely going back.

This place was phenomenal. I absolutely loved it and so did my one year old. They have a pool, basketball court and playground. The community room was very neat and there is also a fire station near by. Absolutely beautiful!

The swimming is great and affordable. Kids love the splash pad area and ice cream flavors🍨🍧🍦. There is snacks not really food, hotdogs or anything more like candy ice cream water and sodas🍭🍫🥤. The kids water area starts off around your ankles and goes as deep as 4.5 feet. Pretty much Im 5.5 the water is below my chest. So great for new swimmers. They have at least 3 lifeguards at all times. Im always still in with my kids it can get a little busy but fun. Playing shark tag🦈. There is shade with couple tables. First come first serve. I usually grab a spot under shade with blankets and towels 130-400pm. 🌞🌈🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊
