Cold. Cold. Cold. The pool reopened this year after a nearly 2-month maintenance shut-down. And, after 4+ weeks being open, the water is still well below normal swimming temperature. (stays at 76-77 degrees) The same thing happened last year (cold for months). Hard to believe they make little kids get into that water for swim lessons... Update late Dec 2025: pool temperature improved as more meets were scheduled, though still varies. Only way to find out about lap swims is to be on an email list, no website/other info. Locker rooms cluttered & often gross. The school system only seems interested in promoting football, and seems to be letting this facility go. Sad.

Attended a swim meet here recently. They lacked communication leading upto the event and they had some delays do to equipment issues and planning the events. The had card table concessions instead of using the facility concession stands, this was nice because the card tables were closer and more convenient. They did charge admission for each spectator and accepted cash only, I feel like for a venue this size and with as many shirts swimmers that were attending this could have been simplified with accepting e-payments ahead of time or including this fee in the event fees for registration for the event. Parking: They had multiple events for different venues and had police directing parking to keep the parking nearest to the venue open for swim families. This was a nice service they provided that I have not seen at other venues of this size.

Lots of seating, concession stand...that is actually open. Comfortable and well lit. Easy to access to the facility, right off of 77 S, and lots of parking behind the building. Our team liked the feel of the water.

We came here for a birthday party for our 5 year old niece, on Sunday. What a great idea for a party. The pool was so nice and clean. The section we were in had 3 different parties going on at the same time. We had plenty of space between us. The locker rooms were right there too. I took a picture of the rules. Clear at the bottom it lists the fees. She rented 3 tables and paid for the ones that swam. The total was only 25.00! Couldn't believe it! The kids loved it too. There's lifeguards on duty and they take regular breaks. You can have a party there as long as the swim team isn't having a meet. You bring your own food, drinks etc. No crockpots allowed. One of the parties beside us had pizza delivered. They are open for parties on Saturday and Sunday. We loved it!
