From the reviews

…the leisure pool is likely going to be down for a bit, but the lap pool is still available.

★★★★★ — Rafael, Feb 2024

Pretty great. I love their indoor track! My only complaints are that their gym lacks a stretching area, and that their pool is often closed due to a lifeguard shortage. Pretty sure that's not exclusive to them though, so don't hold that against them. Nice place!

★★★★☆ — Anthony, Feb 2022

…They have the kiddie pool and the lap pool, a nice gym, basketball courts and a small indoor running track. The prices for membership or just day pass are affordable, even for families. The facility is ways clean and kept up. It is also in a quiet area and not generally very busy.

★★★★★ — Camille, Dec 2019

Starting as a beginner here swimming laps and I’m loving it so far! Staff is helpful. Good hours and I always get a lane to myself. Looking forward to checking out the gym soon!
