Facility Reviews
I went on a Sunday at 7:30 AM and the pool was completely empty; I had it to myself. Based on my stroke count, it felt like it was a 25m pool. The lanes felt a little narrow, I can't see how you could share a lane. People have complained that the shallower end is too shallow, but I guess I'm short, the water went up to my waist and I was able to do flip turns with no problems. The water was colder than most pools. I also felt that there was more chlorine in this pool than usual, but not too much to make you sick.
There was a non-digital pace clock in a corner. Backstroke flags were in place. There is a little shelf with swim toys available: fins, pull buoys, paddles, and kickboards. There was no lifeguard.
The pool is elevated from the main gym, so there are no strange people starring while you are swimming. There's not much deck space, so you need to leave your towels on hooks on the wall. There was a white board with some Masters swimming sets, when I was there.

The pool is often crowded around noon but has lanes available early morning; I swam here at 5:30 AM on a weekday and had a lane to myself. The pool is a bit warm but acceptable. There is a rack with buoys, kickboards, a couple sets of paddles, and five sets of different-sized fins. The locker rooms are nice and fully-equipped
