Aquatics at JB MDL,

5901 Doughboy Loop, Fort Dix, NJ 08640, United States

"This is a very nice indoor pool for recreational swimming and exercise, HOWEVER, it seems there's always an issue with the MWR keeping the place opened and running properly; causing service members and their dependents being unable to swim for extended periods of time. There are people on JBMDL-Fort Dix who are only able to swim as a form of exercise and the installation's continued failures to keep this pool open for us to use is completely unacceptable!"

"Nothing for online announcements when they host staff events and close early. Drive all the way there to see a sign saying closed for the day. Don’t let people know during the summer that you are closing. Great management."

"It serves its purpose of being a functioning pool. The hours are meant for retirees or stay at home moms, they open and close during hours that are not for servicemembers. This is also the first time I've seen a pool where active servicemembers have to pay. It's also cash only, but there is an ATM across the street."

"Aquatics is great for kids and adults. There's 2 pools inside. The larger pool is for swimming laps (4ft -12ft deep) and the other pool (approx. 4 ft deep) is for the water slide and you can also play basketball. Some life guards are nice and will give you the tools to play with, others are either miserable or too lazy to get you the ball. Overall quiet staff but definitely a good portion of lifeguards on deck to make you feel safe. There is a baby pool outside but it's currently closed for renovation. Overall I enjoy coming here. It's also around the corner from the outside pool but that's only open to active military. But when the inside pool is closed, they will let people use the outside pool. The larger bathroom is clean and it has the open showers. There's also a private 1 person bathroom right outside the pool entrance."

"Used to swim here in the mornings/evenings. Loved how cold the water was."
