Notes:
|
The pool entrance is in the back of the school down several long flights of stairs. See the Web site for the schedule - then call, as we understand that the schedule is not updated often. There is also a warmer, 2.5f - 4.5f deep, children's/therapy pool with a ramp.

Reviews:
|
The pool is shared with a local high school swim team in the evening and open swim lanes are crowded. Only 3 or 4 lanes, at best; “open swim” is very limited for a city such as Somerville. The pool is modern and clean. The hours are great and everyone is extremely friendly.
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.
