Facility Reviews
Rating: 8 out of 10. A focus on laps, and every effort to keep swimmers happy.
A great pool, not too busy and so close to the city.
There's no policing of the stroke or speed guidelines. There is no difference between fast and slow lanes and “freestyle” is interpreted as you are free to swim whatever stroke you like. Inexperienced swimmers make passing difficult. Not pleasant…
Like any other pool; some swimmers just ignore the postings.
Excellent – very clean: Score 10 out of 10!
It's a nice, large pool facility set low in a park area. The pool is deep with footholds in the wall. The locker rooms are utilitarian with remote small lockers, if available.
