"Stopped here for a swim and a workout when visiting Newberg...what a great facility! Clean, well-equipped, and friendly. I'll be back again!"

"The pool and facilities here are very clean and nice, but the policies and staff make this the least family friendly pool we’ve ever been to. Despite coming here multiple times with 3 kids for the toddler time, we were turned away today after driving 30 minutes to get there because it’s policy to have 1 adult for 2 kids. We had never heard this policy before today and the front desk was zero tolerance and turned us away without a conversation. We had other visitors walking by us saying “that’s not fair.” It really wasn’t and my kids left in tears. I called the aquatics manager Krista and she was kind and tried to make it right by offering us limited access to the kiddie area but by this point we were halfway through the toddler time and it was just too late. Based on this experience we will never be going back to this pool and will be letting friends and family know that this is not a family friendly environment."

"If you are looking for a pool for the public, this is not it. Free-swim hours are non-existent or at bizarre times. Extremely high membership and drop-in cost, making sure to avoid affordability for anyone not white/affluent. The gym is not efficiently arranged and doesn’t allow for floor-work or functional motion exercises. Not a safe space for diversity of any kind, race or orientation wise. Walking track is too expensive as well. So, with all that, it’s a great place for the George Fox swim team and other hetero/cis white folks with money and privilege."

"It's fun, I like the slide and diving board and rock wall and just being able to swim feeling free"

"This is my world-favorite place for lap swimming! It is an absolute pleasure to get my butterfly on in an 8 lane pool with wide lanes, excellent lighting and sound, and clear water at the perfect temperature."
