Reviews:

I rarely had to wait for a lane after work and weekend late mornings. At peak hours, there are almost always at least 3 lanes for laps. The water is cold; they said 82º, but it felt like 77º. A state of the art facility. At 7am I was amazed to find I had my choice of at least 10 empty lanes (widthwise) in the Olympic pool. The water was deep and cool, and I had a lifetime best for a 2500m swim. Highly recommended - one of the best pools I've ever had the pleasure to swim in. Bring your own lock.

Data source:

The information for this listing was provided by a Boise native. The information in the "Notes" section was provided by a San Jose swimmer who was seriously impressed by the overall facility.
(The "Data source" may have contributed the initial, basic information used to create this listing but, in most cases, that information will have been added to over time by a number of other sources - most often, other swimmers. We can't acknowledge the source of each bit of information, but we are grateful to all contributors.)
