Reviews:
|
We had a fine swim in this pool today, where we were greeted by extraordinarily friendly staff people. The pool water was clean and the pool area itself was fine. Those swimmers deterred by grubbiness might want to go elsewhere, as the locker room hadn't seen a cleaning since the Nixon administration and there was backed-up sewage in some of the showers.
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.

Data source:
|
The information for this listing was obtained initially in 1992 and was most recently updated by the Y in October, 2005.
(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.)
