Reviews:

The water is clean and warm, the locker rooms and showers are fine. It is well suited for families with a water playground, fountains, and climbing scaffolds in a shallow pool. Lockers require 20¢ coins. Usually open 8 A.M. to 9 P.M. Fins not permitted. No dedicated lap lanes are available, except Sundays. For serious swimming use off-peak hours (8-9 am or 7.30-9 pm); you also might be lucky at lunchtime. During peak hours, lap swimming is almost impossible due to the many swimming classes.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.
