Reviews:
|
Absolutely one of the best pools on the East coast! The temperature is right, the chemicals are right, great gutter system, and over 6 feet deep for most of the lanes. If you were a golfer you'd compare this to Pebble Beach.
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.
