A no-frills 6-lane community pool used by the New York Sharks swim team. Parents report frequent closures and basic facilities, so call ahead to confirm it's open.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…Featured review by Nicole Falcaro

This is a 6 lane, 25 yard, no frills pool. The locker room, a.k.a. the bathroom, has one shower that had almost nonexistent pressure, and it didn't get very hot. There are lots of folding chairs to put your things on, and the water temp was appropriate for swimming easy or hard laps. Nice lifeguards and a large digital clock on the wall where you enter the water. Be sure to bring flip flops and expect a quick rinse rather than a full blown shower. And always check the hours on their Facebook page, since they change a lot!

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

This basic community pool might work for occasional lap swimming when it's actually open, but families should look elsewhere due to unreliable operations and poor facilities. The frequent unannounced closures, bathroom issues, and lack of proper changing facilities make it unsuitable for regular family visits or swim lessons.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กAlways check their Facebook page before visiting as hours change frequently and closures are common
โฐBring flip flops as facilities are basic and potentially unsanitary
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธExpect minimal shower facilities with low pressure and inconsistent hot water
๐Ÿš—Don't rely on this pool for consistent swim lessons or regular visits due to maintenance closures

โ€œFirst time was 4 mos ago. Wasnt impressed. Not bad just simply average. I was hopeful for as i live close. this is more of "once in a while ill come here pool" Sadly-no changing rooms/lockers. Only stall bathrooms that were a bit dingy looking. The 1 shower has little to no pressure and was only cold water. The pool looks like it needs a lil srubbing. very cold water on the day i went- other reviews have notice that as well. Seems like they might rely on sunny days to warm up the pool? and i went on a non sunny day. Lifeguard was helpful but i hope the center can get a more reliable heater and updated bathrooms. Update 2021. I went again in the las month. I believe they have new heater. Pool was much warmer. Bathrooms r same. Update 2022 I went less and less frequently here.โ€ฆmany cancellations due to โ€œmaintenanceโ€ issues. I understand things come up but here it was a regular occurrence to be closed. Check their FB announcements for yourself and see how many times they cancelled in the last year. Itโ€™s not worth a membership here.โ€

โ€œWe attended a party here and it was gross, there was no running water for the entirety of our time there (nothing flushed, couldn't wash your hands) and it was implied that it happens regularly. Embarrassing and unsanitary!! We also discovered a mouse in the gutter, the attendants were struggling to remove it and asked for my assistance, I simply asked for a glove and removed it by hand. I've included a picture with the mouse in the background before I noticed it. Our party should have been canceled and rebooked for when the facility was in working order. We've emailed, no one has answered.โ€
