Great place to swim, not very expensive, not very busy, everything was clean, and the people were friendly.

Our six-year-old daughter has just joined in transitioning from Goldfish swimming. There are a few differences in terms of coaching methods. Obviously, it's a slightly higher level of training, but coach engagement could use some improvement to make it a more enjoyable experience for young kids. Unfortunately, Goldfish keeps the pool temperature significantly higher than the Aquatic Center and even the YMCA, so kids will struggle to acclimate themselves to the water in the Aquatic Center.

The facilities are nice, they have family restrooms set up for changing and showering along with a standsrd locker room. They aren't spectrum friendly at this place. Joined swim class and was told I can't be in the water with the kids, but mine needs one on one which I planned to do myself, but didn't work for them. I was understanding when told it wouldn't work and joined the center instead for a monthly fee. Figured I could check online and do some swim safety stuff a couple times a week. Especially when told we could come for open swim times. Have been going for 3 weeks and have been enjoying it. The warm pool is shallow enought for what we were trying to do. Today we showed up for open fitness and someone I've never seen before told the people checking us in that it's only for adults. So I'm confused because you put your birth date in online so shouldn't it tell you that you are too young to sign up at that point before you drive all the way over. Hard to explain just how hard it is to say we aren't swimming today but we are 5 feet from the pool. Guess it's kids are really only allowed for open swim and not any of the other ones. That's Saturdays which isn't easy for us to get

The space is very large and beautiful. Enter through the red doors of the high school (Door A). They make it easy to reserve time slots and kid swim classes online. I'm also told the water is warm. My main complaint is that yesterday when we arrived for class, the women's locker room door was locked so we had to enter from the shower area (not ideal when uou are dry and want to stay dry). The verdict is still up on if this swim class will teach either of my kids to swim or be more comfortable in the water. I hope so!
