Gail And Carolyn Shaw Aquatic Center 401 Southwest Parkland Drive, Chehalis, WA 98532

"This is a great pool! As a parent, you can enjoy your kids swimming knowing they are under the watchful eyes of many really fantastic lifeguards. The requirement to pass swimming test to use the deep end etc is awesome and really makes it a safer and more enjoyable experience. The sitting areas are great, the restrooms are clean, and it's a very welcoming environment."

"Fabulous way to spend some quality time with my youngest son. This place is a gem, and we will be back again for sure. Entry is $5 per person, there are two sessions per day to enjoy. If you want to attend both of them, it's an additional $5 per person. Well worth it. The water is WARM! You can also bring in your own food with is such a bonus. Vending machines are available and ice cream bars and popsicles. The blue slide is for anyone 48" or taller, the blue slide and dive pool requires a swim test, even for adults. Once you pass they keep your results on file and you don't have to do it again. Lots of area in the more shallow side of the pool, 4ft depth. The water spray side is fabulous for all ages and did I mention WARM water. I can't stress that enough. Even in the 90 degree weather I didn't want cold water, so this was amazing. My son must have gone on the blue slide 60 times in 3 hours. I passed my swim test, tested the diving board out and the red slide. Locker rooms are plenty spacious and there is a lot of lifeguards all over for safety. Covered area for seating and plenty of lounge chairs. Small parking lot but lots of street parking. I would advise getting there half an hour early to get in line, to find a prime lounging spot. Chehalis residents get first entry so be prepared for that. Overall, fabulous time and can't wait to go back!"
