The City of Panama City Beach Aquatic Center at Frank Brown Park runs short, themed summer camps built around its 50-meter pool. Sessions include water-themed programs such as Lil Mermaids and Lil Sharks (ages 5-8) and a Build a Boat engineering camp (ages 6-14) that ends in a pool race. Camps run in multi-day blocks of roughly 1.5-2 hours; the city also offers separate science, sports, and art camps.

Powered by GoogleFamily had a wonderful time here. So much going on while we visited the aquatic center. There were CPO and lfieguard classes, swim team, swim lessons, and other families all existing here having a great time. Price was fair for what it was.
I felt like I had just walked into a prison shower from the 50s. No privacy at all, you are forced to shower with complete strangers. The facilities have not been updated in decades. Yet they charge 8 x as much as other facilities that are much newer and safer. Forget any kind of discount for seniors or veterans. That is false advertising 😑
Stopped by to ask about private lessons for my wife after checking out the website. Very nice and polite young lady told me we needed to hit the site, sign up for the private classes, make the payment and then someone would call after they received payment. So we head home and follow her directions. This is where the problem starts. They take your money but there is no time table for them to call you. After waiting 5 days I called them to ask when we should expect to get the call to schedule. The lady then began explaining how they list swim lesson in February but don’t normally start holding them until April or May. I explained that would be fine for group lessons but when booking private lessons one would assume they would get a call within days of them taking your money. After I finally got through to her that I disapproved of their process she finally said she would have the lead instructor call me later that day to schedule. She then proceeded to call me back to explain how her manager had informed her that they had been trying to reach me. I then confirmed they had the correct number and proceeded to explain how technology works today and that my call log showed no such attempts. Olivia did finally call and said she would reach out to the only instructor that currently works weekends and call me back. Well I ended up calling them back the next day cause once again I received no call back. Ended up finally getting in contact with Olivia again who proceeded to tell me how that instructor went home vomiting earlier in the day. So I got no phone call back the day before from the instructor nor a call back from Olivia to say the person had gotten sick. At this point I have to call back Monday to request a refund because I am no longer interested in doing business with this facility. A few suggestions, either don’t post your private swim classes until you are ready and prepared to communicate and begin classes or do not take payment until you are ready and prepared to give the actual classes. Also communicate communicate communicate with your paying customers. None of this information was listed on the webpage, in regards to paying but then not getting a call for a few months.
Awesome for my 5 year old and 10 month old. The designer of this place did a great job! We also visited the playground areas. It was shaded and clean. (Only issue we had was the concession stand had no chicken strips or hot dogs available) we will definitely be back!
The best place for water fitness, open all year around, lots of classes to help increase your strength,stamina,and resiliance ,lap swimming, water yoga, all can be found here. All skill levels welcomed.
