Reviews:

A wonderful facility. Water is kept 78-80° and crystal clear. Separate instructional pool reduces some of the conflicts between aerobics and lap swim. Wide lanes (8'). Typically am able to swim 5k with splitting the lane, (vs. circle swim). M/W/F 5:30 - 7:30 A.M. high volume, circle swimming typical. Tu/Th 5:30-7:30 A.M. load varies, typically full.
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.
