Beaverton Swim Center

"Well run, staff are pleasant and efficient. Deck space is limited for meets but still good."

"We tried couple levels for both kiddos, the younger age group 3Yrs was okay. The group size was not too big, instructors are really good. On the other hand, The 6 years old group was way too bad. 30 mins class and each kid get 2-3 mins turn maximum. the entire class instructor spends looking at her file, taking and not doing much. Overall, you get what you pay for. Quality is really bad ! Kids won't learn much. There are a lot of other alternative options around. do not waste your time and just go somewhere else"

"Pool 5, staff 5, locker rooms 4, toilets 2, showers negative 5. I have been swimming at the Beaverton Swim Center for more than 30 years. Our children and I have taken lessons here. It has never felt unsafe. I like the pool and the staff. The facility needs some major renovations. The toilets in the women’s locker room are crooked and frequently leaking. The stall on the left has the TP holder positioned so that it is pretty much in your lap when you are on the toilet. The showers do not have any individual temperature controls. The way they work is with one shower on they are cool. With two on they are a little warmer. The more showers that are on the warmer they get. Therefore even with only one person using the showers, hot water from 3 or 4 showers is going down the drain. It is a colossal waste of energy and water. THPRD knows about these problems but refuses to address them."

"The level of competence and decency required in THPRD lifeguard staff is abhorrent. After more than a few visits and never actually conversing with lifeguards or other staff, I never had a problem of any kind. One day there was a notice on their calendar that there was an upcoming event where kids could lap swim starting in the middle of the set, standard, adult lap swim time. I forgot about this, but happened to visit. I was lap swimming, and at one point, when turning back to the start, saw a kid standing at the other end. I was swimming breast stroke, and about halfway back I slapped him. I tried to get the attention of several lifeguards, but none of them were paying attention. I helped the kid to the side and asked if he was ok. He nodded yes, but he was not able to talk and did not look anywhere close to being comfortable. I yelled at a lifeguard. They didn’t care. I told the kid I’d get help. I got out of the pool and walked into the front/main office and informed them that kids aren’t being informed of how lap swimming works, and the lifeguards were not paying attention or caring. They said they would take care of it. I went back to the pool and the kid was standing next to his dad, bawling. The dad was rightfully furious, but angry at me. He yelled at me for hitting his child. I informed him that kids were being invited to an adult lap swim without any instruction whatsoever; the staff, and therefore, unfortunately, his child were at fault. By looking at the lap swimming lanes, he realized, while his jaw dropped, that there was no instruction being given and was astounded by the lack of safety at an (un)organized event he saw just by looking at it. I’ll always remember this event as the amount of care given by THPRD."

"This Swim center is severely outdated. There are no lockers, the locker rooms are square and small. The actual pool here is nice. It's generally Warner than the other swim centers, but even now in the heat, it feels cold, which is nice. They have pretty mediocre hours. They aren't open most weekends, Fridays are half days, and they aren't open late or super early. Most normal working adults can't utilize this facility because of these limitations. The service here... Is ok. Would be great if the ones checking in were more enthusiastic."
