Fairland Sports and Aquatics Complex 13820 Old Gunpowder Road, Laurel, MD 20707

"Great facility. Visited for a swimming tournament. Ample parking and great seating."

"Great place if only the water in temperature in the pool was consistent. Most often, it is cold. Sure, after swimming, you adjust, but is it so very hard to turn the temperature up some. They would get 5 stars then."

"The employees are all nice, the facility is clean, the pool's are impressive, the lifeguards are knowledgeable....but the communication seems to be lacking. There are "too many cooks in the kitchen" and it shows. Website is not up to date and everyone is too busy doing their own thing, so no one knows what the other person is doing. I took a Lifeguarding Course there. 3 out of the 4 days I arrived for the course, the Front Desk had no idea there was a course happening & had to ask multiple people before getting the information on where we had to go. For paying $200.00, it seemed our course was sidelined in favor of more lucrative activities. We never had a designated area to meet, our course was held wherever there was room available."

"Update- I've seen people working in the pool a month ago and changing tiles. I have not been in there though. I have seen doors with signature of cleaning that have been up to date. Went during open swim hours with a 7 and 3 year old. There were plenty of space and lanes open. Many lifeguards were on duty around the entire area. I haven't been since the pandemic, so it was nice to return and see many of the same lifeguards teaching classes and on duty. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities were normally clean. The floor was a little dirty around the swim areas and many of the seating was wet due to the roof dripping in several areas. I see used gum, leaf, hair, paper, and other things on the floor. Seating is limited around the pool areas but there are many upstairs in the bleachers area. There's also an area outside the bleachers. Normally they have tables and chairs, but I can't remember seeing them today."
