"I take my kids here for swimming lessons. The teachers I think are high schoolers. Some are great with the younger kids. Some basically keep the kids from drowning (which is still important). Every month you sign up. There's no guarantee you'll get a spot as it's first come first serve, but current kids get priority registration earlier than non students. So then sometimes you end up picking a bad slot just to try to a good slot next time. Because of that, you may end up with different teachers every time which is not ideal imo for learning to swim. Most of the teachers follow a very set routine plan for the lessons, and don't stray from it even if your kid can do 3/4 things really well and needs to focus on just 1 thing. The price isb$9/lesson and you pay for all the lessons for the month regardless of whether or not you attended. You get what you pay for i guess. That said, there are some staff that are more permanent than others and I've had great experiences with a number of the staff here. My only other gripe is that students in lessons can swim for free and practice during public swim. HOWEVER little kids need adults obviously and the adult is not free when accompanying a student. So I basically can't help my kid practice the skills he's learning without also paying 7 dollars each time."

"Nasty and crowded. Pubic hair all over. The place is falling apart. Most of the staff are immature and nasty too. It’s obvious no one cleans the place."

"Everything I went here as a child someone would actively try to drown me."

"Place needs to be updated but my daughter loved her instructors. Fun people working there!"

"It’s your average community pool- open swim, lap swim, etc. They do have gender specific swim times as well! Only 2 minor complaints is the lap lanes start at 3ft and gradually move into 10ft depth (too deep IMO) and the locker rooms are small for the amount of people that show up on Saturday! Easy online booking for lanes, amply free parking lot parking, and the staff is super friendly!"
