Reviews:
|
The outdoor pool is a lot colder than shown, except in summer, when it gets a lot warmer. One of the indoor pools has a glass wall to outside - makes for a pleasant atmosphere. The other is very warm and has a lot of chemicals. The women's locker room is crowded with few showers. Guards are approachable and ready to resolve any questions or issues that might come up. In March, 2009, the outdoor pool was a perfect temperature for a workout. Crowded and some swimmers lack basic etiquette.
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.
