Every time we want to go swimming the wave pool has been broken! And all the stuff opens at certain times so like we get bored waiting for everything to open!!! But other wise it’s so fun!

The pool wasn't designed for aqua classes and you are crowded trying to exercise. Mgmt won't open all lanes for the one hour class. Not a good situation.
