Facility Notes
Facility Reviews
The aquatics center was so-so. The water was clear and just a bit warm (probably for water aerobics). There were no lockers, so all clothes had to be brought into pool area and nothing was able to be secured (wallet, cell phone, money). The changing rooms were surprisingly small.
The facilities aren't fancy but the water quality is excellent - very clear and 81º - 83ºF. (27º - 28ºC.). There are lots of lanes and it's uncrowded in the early morning. There are two changing/shower rooms: a very small one that's used when only the 50 meter lap pool is open (early morning) and a much larger one that's used when all three pools are open. The lack of lockers is inconvenient.

It’s true the facilities aren’t fancy, but they are way more than adequate. We swam at early lunch time and each had a lane to ourselves. Yes, the lack of lockers is inconvenient, but forewarned by the review here, we planned what to take and where to keep it.
Important note for those from sea level: West Mesa is at about 5,300 feet (1,600 meters) altitude; plan to be short of breath and adjust your workout accordingly.

The pool is set up for short course with 12+ lanes available for lap swimmers and the shallower part open for water walking, etc. The lifeguard said it is always set up for short-course during lap swim hours. At noon on a Monday I had a lane to myself with a couple of other lanes completely empty.
