Notes:
|
The city has a Web site with constantly changing URL's. For info go to the City of Walnut Creek and follow the link to "Recreation", and then to "Aquatics". Of course, now that we've given you a roadmap, they'll change it on us again. At least we tried!

Reviews:
|
There are not enough lanes reserved for laps; most are taken by teams and summer camps. To avoid crowded lanes come in late morning or in the evening when the pool is reserved just for laps. The locker rooms are not always the cleanest.
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.
