Facility Reviews
This is a family-oriented facility; it is crowded and lap etiquette is not followed. Although it has two pools, both are usually crowded especially on weekends; late in the evening is a little better. The smaller pool (25y, 2 lanes) is kept cooler, 81-82º. The larger pool (25y, 6 lanes) is much warmer, 86º. Lap swimming is available all day but changes from the large to small pool several times. Bathing cap required. No towels or locks are loaned.
I have to disagree with the description of the large pool here as lacking lane etiquette. Everyone there accommodates everyone else and three swimmers to a lane is done with circular swimming rather than sticking to one side or the other. I have never encountered a rude person there and I can’t say that about other pools I have used. It's a nice family pool with plenty of space for singles to swim lanes. The lockers are not great and the showers are small but everything is clean.
