Powered by GoogleWe take our daughter swimming here and just love this place! The pool is always clean and the life guards are alert and do such a great job of keeping an eye on all the people in the water. I also really really appreciate the janitorial staff for how clean they keep the family bathrooms. They’re always in there drying the floors before another family goes in. It’s so great for little kiddos who can easily slip. We are so grateful to live in a city that has spaces like Apex that are affordable and promote wellness.
The equipment is in good shape, its well taken care of here. The place is relatively clean and never over crowded. The kids center is great and I love the security features in place. The track is excellent to walk around. Great family friendly place!
This review is for the outdoor pool daily pass. I’ve brought my children, neighbors, and friends to enjoy the pool. The various depths and activities have been fantastic. The lifeguards are actively scanning for quiet issues so that’s huge. I’ve continued to return so clearly I recommend the pool. Be mindful accounts for resident pricing must be created ahead of time.
We signed up for swim lessons in the preschool and beginner levels, and the instructors were so patient and kind. They had more patience with my children than I do, and (as a teacher myself) I saw my children learning life saving skills through play. My five year old was able to teach me the “monkey game” and I use the key words that they used in their lessons to help them practice those skills between lessons (“float like a starfish” etc). These teens and young adults are using a fantastic program, they are supervised thoroughly, and communicated effectively with parents. The class sizes are 2-1, with 4 children and 2 instructors, and always felt like my children were safe and well cared for as they were being taught. What a great city facility. I am very grateful.
Absolutely ridiculously unsupervised kids all ages. Teenagers having slam dunk contests while little kids are running around in between everyone. Not a parent in sight, and the only employee looked to be sleeping at the door before you enter the gym. Not only was it unsafe but if an adult wanted to use the gym you had to be stuck with all the kids while the other side only had 3 kids using it for there paid practice. I paid to use this place and can’t. What a waste of money. You can drop your kid off at any age, dont even check them in and it’s a giant daycare. I didn’t pay for that. The parents are just as bad, they don’t care there kids are in danger. Especially don’t care that they are all over the machines and gym ruining it for everyone else.
