Facility Reviews
This is a very nice facility with a new pool and new locker rooms. The water temperature was perhaps 83ºF [28ºC] (it was 24ºF [-4.4ºC] outside). I swam at 5:30 AM for adult lap swim. There were no lane lines but there are painted lines on the pool floor. There were two other lap swimmers and three water exercisers - a pleasant surprise.
The first time I swam here, I did not see a lifeguard nor anyone to take any money. The second day, a fellow swimmer asked me to sign in and I realized that the teenager in the bleachers was the lifeguard, although she was in regular school clothes. She had a sign-in sheet and takes the admission fee.
There was the familiar sign of rules that says "no horseplay" - just like home.
If you're lucky and swim on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, the woman who coaches the swim team does her training there between 5:30 and 6:30 AM.
