All in all great experience, love the new policy of parents have to be in the lesson with kids, much more fun and personal. A little annoying that you cant sign up for events (like swim lessons) at the pool, supposedly it can only be done online. That Id what we were told.

Nice pool, not too crowded. Kiddie pool was cooler than the big pool, which I thought was backwards but who knows.

It is cheaper on Wednesdays (which is the only time I go). There is a very relaxing hot tub there and the pool is nice as well. It has been fairly empty every time Ive gone so it has not been crowded and theres room to move around freely. I like to be in the hot tub for a while to release some tension and overall body aches. It can be helpful.

Lockers dont work, the womens showers need remodeled and the RULES of the city pool need to be enforcedI wished that the city pool would enforce the rules with babies and young children that they are not being watched by their parents. It is unsafe!!It isnt a lifeguards job to baby sit children who are unable to watch themselves while parents leave them unattended at such a young age.Parents have a duty to keep a mindful eye on their own children and not leave it up to other adults to take on that parents role.Parents need to respect other people and the staff at the city pool when bringing in their children.Lifeguards have a hard time keeping a eye on every child...so parents it is your job to help watch your own kids.If a parent has been approached by a staff member from the city pool and the parent argues or blatantly ignores a warning, then that parent should not be allowed back to the city pool.Watching a parent take their baby into a hot tub and or the sauna for long periods of time is dangerous to a babies health. So educate yourselves on the temperatures of these offered choices, that they may be appropriate for your childs age.Fellow citizens have the right to use the city pool without having to be worried about other peoples kids possibly getting hurt injured or abducted.Enforce the rules, update the womens showers and FIX THE LOCKERS!!!Thank you.

Nice, pretty clean, really good entrance price for what you c a n get, but the hours are very sporadic as are the open days. And you are not guaranteed access to everything at any given open time. That said, well worth it when you can actually visit the parts you wish.

Fun local pool with a few too many rules. I used to believe the lifeguards were told to make up rules to stop people that are having too much fun. After speaking with the director, I know its not the case and she cares about making it better. Maybe one day it can drop its nickname as the pool of rules. Ive revised my review to reflect my appreciation for her interest in improving.

Refreshingly chlorinated! The staff are usually friendly and even remember my name. I enjoy the music they play though the operating hours take some planning and getting used to. Hot tub, sauna, sun deck, and workout room, this is an easy all-in-one fitness and relaxation destination.

Review β„–14

When we checked in we were not informed of the rule that an adult has to accompany kids under seven into the small kid pool. The, I assume, manager then rudely informed us of the rule as we sat watching our children swim. I understand the rule. What I had an issue was the rude and aggressive manner in which we were informed. There are always ways to inform with grace and kindness, and this did not happen. Also, we would have made a different decision at check in had we been told at that point. Instead we were left scrambling to figure out what to do. Not a good impression for visiting guests from out of town.

The only thing nobody has mentioned in the previous reviews is the lockers will eat your quarters. You might be able to get a refund IF there is someone at the front desk. If there isnt... you can be waiting for help a long time (not fun if youre dripping wet). Or, you can take the time to go find a staff member who will (sort of) agree to help you, but good luck with that. Its an attitude issue, not a lack of funding one. The pool/activities center is all of the things everyone is saying in their reviews, and its been this way for the ten years Ive lived in the Burg. Ive had an equal number of good and bad experiences, as a mom and as an empty nester.

A great swimming facility with a main pool for the adults, a kid friendly hot tub, and a kiddy pool for the little ones. Male and female changing rooms only, no family changing room or shower facility. Opens late and with friendly staff member. A great place to be after sunset in this town.

Good pool, good scheduling. I go to noon lap swim where there are 4 plus lanes for laps and an area for other swim, water walking etc. Hot tub,kids area, sauna. Could be cleaner in locker rooms.

The staff was extremely rude! We are from out of town and, due to bad weather, decided to take our kids swimming. We paid for all of the kids (ages 4-13) and no adults. Forty-five minutes into swimming, the manager rudely informed us that all kids under 7 must be in the pool with an adult (kiddie pool included). We told her that this was not explained when we paid and she rudely stated β€œThat has been our policy for years and it’s posted.” The front desk is covered in information and that policy was not clearly posted at all. I think it was their duty to inform us of that policy when we paid. Most importantly, her delivery of that information was so rude and disrespectful that we almost packed up the kids and left. Clearly someone needs some lessons on how to interact with the public! We will not be back!

Review β„–21

Staff can be unfriendly in appearance at times, never ready to go when my special needs group shows up to swim. Seem to have to rope off the deep end ourselves in order for the group to know that they are close to the deep end. At one time refused to remove a lane line in the middle of the pool and said that if we didnt want it in the pool we could take it out.
