★★★★Brandan SteckCame here for a swim meet for my kids in the spring time so the pool area was covered, which was nice. The facility itself was clean. Parking was limited due to the volume of people participating in the swim meet. There were 4 sets of bleachers for seating, but plenty of space for people to bring their own chairs to set up.
★★★★★Serg ShevchenkoGreat place for lap swimming. Very reasonably priced too. Can be a bit crowded on weekends, check the lane schedule and aim for times when all ten lines are open. Staff is welcoming. The pool is not new, and as of spring 2026 these is a plan for bond funded renewal project.
★★★★JBIRIIts a fun pool place. Although i do want to give out a warning... bathroom area/dressing area is very uncomfortable.. if you have kids, I would avoid this area. People can get way too comfortable and there is zero privacy. We are at a time where we need to be careful with privacy and actual doors to lock to shower and change. Its all curtains and wide open shower areas. Owner/manager really needs to fix this. People are roaming in this area undressed where kids are around and it is disgusting. Also, we need more adults in this building. I have never seen an adult working here.
★★★★★Maria CarnevaleDoes the big pool ever get vacuumed? Love swimming here, but I get the ick seeing all the hair and bugs at the bottom of the pool.
★★★★Jan CameronFantastic swim lessons, great pools for all ages. Perfect place to escape the cold and swim. It would be great to add more lounge chairs to the pool deck. And limit the parking lot to only pool attendees. Unfortunately May St Middle School vehicles occupy over 90% of the parking during the week, so expect to walk to the pool during school hours. And at 330pm week days, is the worst for foot and vehicle (bike and cars) traffic. So plan accordingly. And CHECK THE WEBSITE to make sure the pool is open, since they were denied closure to renovate, the pool is under frequent closures for repairs.
