My boys Tito and Ephi worked with Izzy and Nate in the white and red 7-12 class. My son Tito struggled during one of his classes with the amount of students and the fear of the water. Vinny came over to speak with me about adaptive classes. His team was able to assist and set up the change in classes. My son transitioned great with Nate into adaptive classes. Izzy did amazing with my son Ephi in his class as well. Both of my boys are thriving in their class. Thank you!

This is a nice pool, but there are so many rules that it makes it hard to really enjoy ourselves. I do not understand why we are not allowed to jump into the six-foot area. We come here to have fun and cool off, but all the rules make it difficult. I also feel the lifeguard drills need to be handled better. On Monday, it took the lifeguards almost 20 minutes to notice the other guard “drowning” during the drill because another guard was not paying attention. Then everyone had to sit out for another 20–30 minutes afterward. That seems excessive, especially when families are just trying to enjoy the they self Another thing I do not understand is why children are not allowed to go down the slide with a life jacket on when other pools allow it. Life jackets are for safety, so it seems confusing that they are not permitted here.

LOVE this place!!We have taken "water awareness" courses for our 2 year old, found out they have FREE days to swim, night swim, family swim, toodler time. After 12pm its only $2 to swim and it tires out the kid(s) while I get to relax.. umm yes please! Sign me up!!

Safety is a 5 star. They are on top of every patron. No handstands, no rough housing, no beach balls. They are very strict but definitely on their game. I would recommend this pool for anyone with young children to come. Anyone that wants to let loose, head to a pool more towards Phoenix. Safety over crazy fun is a plus for me. I will be back. Oh, Saturdays are free when a company sponsors the day..it looks Summer 2025 is free most Saturdays.

We visited the Buckeye Aquatic Center/Park. The kids had a nice time. I have to give it to the Life Guard Staff. They kept a very close eye on the water at all times. Due to them closing at 5 we only had a 2 hour time there . It was extremely crowded however it was a pleasant experience. Only one family was asked to leave and that was due to a child acting out and hitting on other children. I like that the staff took it seriously enough to ask them to leave. I loved that their prices are very reasonable, at only $2 it remains affordable. It also includes a life jacket if your little one needs it. There was a great little snack area, it stayed busy on the hot day. Because the lounge chairs run out fast I love that you are able to bring in a chair, small cooler, your own drinks, and drink cups. This was a great little find for me and the kids, especially on a summer budget. They are open Monday through Friday from 12:00 until 5:00 P.M. Sunday they reserve for private parties. There were a few picnic tables just outside the fence from the water area, with a playground for the children which I loved , you know in case they were tired of water (but like that would happen) it gives them another play experience/opportunity. Lastly they have showers and their signage suggests showering before entering the pool ( great idea) area, as well as lockers to store your belongings if need be. I am sure we will be back many more times over this summer vacation. Also if you missed getting the little ones a snack prior to closing I noticed a cart outside in the parking lot selling snack items.
