I love the fact that they have an indoor pool. But parking is always an issue. I suggest taking metro or walk if you live in the vicinity.

I often go here to exercise during the week. Weekends can be busy. Avoid at all costs during the summer, unless you are a lap swimmer! Go early anytime before 10 am.

Clean facilities and they just repaired the mens locker room showers. Still need to fix the entry doors. My neighborhood pool so I love having a “free” pool I can walk to. Bring a lock for your locker, don’t tempt fate. Limited Lap Lanes Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 11:00am-12:30pm 5:30pm-8:30pm Tuesday & Thursday 9:00am-10:30am 5:30pm-8:30pm

Had a very good experience here on a Saturday morning. It was not too crowded and facilities were in pretty great shape. Nice to have a publicly accessible aquatic center in the neighborhood.

Yes. You should also be aware that they do not allow you to lock a locker for longer than a 24 hour period, i.e. at night, they will cut any locks off.

What times during the week can adults swim laps (free swim) in Fall 2017? Couldn't find a schedule online.

Kate Kizer | Sep 9, 2018
Kromeklia Bryant | Sep 9, 2018

Technically there is lap swimming available all the time. Realistically there is swim team practice everyday starting at 5:30 pm until 7:30 or 8 pm. So there are only 1 or 2 lanes for lap swimming. A small area for swim classes, and a general fitness area where lap swimming is not allowed.
