★★★★★Featured review by Ferdinand Johansen

Great place to come and have fun with the family at the swimming pool. Multiple lifeguards rotate the large swimming pool so you can have a safe time in the water. Do bring proper swim attire as the staff makes sure rules are followed so everyone can have a good time. The showers have reliable hot water. They also have swimming lessons for all ages, aqua aerobics, lap swimming, senior lap swimming, recreational swimming, they host competitions, they have trampolines for those who know how to swim and much more. I go there with my 2 year old so she can learn to swim and loosen up in the water. Kids under 4, I believe, come in for free, but an adult per child has to be with them in the water. You can also become a monthly member, either individually or as a family and come in for free for the whole month, well worth it if you want to make it a habit for the summer or otherwise. If you want to come and bring your swimmers and they are of age to be there in the pool by themselves, you can seat in the stadium and watch them play or take pictures and video, as it is allowed.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who want structured swim instruction in a supervised, year-round facility. The multi-lifeguard rotation gives parents confidence in water safety.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Children under 4 swim free — adult must be in the water with them
Bring proper swim attire — staff enforce dress code for all participants
🎟️Register for swim lessons on the Saturday after each session ends to secure a spot

Nice place to take your kids, "family time" swimming is great if you don't have a lot of time to get your kids into swimming classes, they have "family time" swimming every day from 3pm-4:30pm and Saturday/Sunday twice a day from 1pm to 2:30pm & 3pm to 4:30pm. They take debit or credit card.

Nice indoor pool but the pool’s age is showing. The staff works hard to keep it clean. Parking can be difficult next to the pool if you are going to the pool for a meet. But there is plenty of parking by the soccer fields east of the pool.
