★★★★★Nathaniel ConantAlways come to open gym volleyball for my daughter and everyone is super welcoming and they have a blast. My 2yo son loves taking laps and observing the courts from above and the pool is awesome. Perfect community center, key word community. Moved to CoMo in 2013 and the community is a main reason im still here.
★★★Rylee CadeIts a very nice facility but it is impossible to get into contact with them. Their portals are frequently down, so they recommend you call. If you call there is a message about long hold times, I've sat on hold 3 times recently. After 20 minutes the line disconnects and then you are back where you started.
★★★★★JustY. SungA place that feels comfortable for reasons hard to explain, even when walking the track.
★★★Joy VIt is what it is, although I hate that expression. The water is dirty and over chlorinated. It is never deeper than 4ft. Lifeguards are always on point. So it's safe and totally benign.
★★Jesse VandervortTook my almost 2 year old boy for little swimmers. We were excited to try the new water slide. He is just starting out in the water but was very excited to try new things. The new setup is much more young child friendly. While there I read the rules before going up with him. It stated on the rules a parent can accompany there young one up and use the slide with them. This made sense to me as our little one is just learning and does not have the best balance. The second time down I was approached by a life guard who stated I cannot accompany him up the equipment or go down the slide with him. She also told me he cannot wear a life vest going down as it will scratch the slide. I responded that I read the rules and stated a parent can accompany there child up the slide. She did not respond and acted like she wasn't aware of the policy. I then asked If I could speak to a supervisor and she walked away. Now I'm not completely blaming her and realize places are short staffed but some type of an explanation at the time would have been nice. It shows me a lack of awareness for response or a lack of training. Regarding the back of the life vest it was completely smooth and couldn't fathom it scratching the slide. I would think the ARC would want young kids that aren't adept at swimming to be as safe as possible. Also, there were several other little kids going down the slide with life vests that were not getting whistled at or told to get off the slide. Anyways on the way out I asked a front desk attendant about this and he stated they are short staffed and was surprised I didn't get a further explanation. He said on the weekends when they are full staffed they allow parents to accompany there child up and down the slide. He was nice and apologized. I would think the Arc would want a parent going down the slide with there young one if you are short staffed to make sure they are safe. I am confused why this isn't allowed? Also some type of signage or notice would be nice rather than getting whistled at for trying to make sure your kid is safe.
