From the reviews
Great place to get some lap swimming in, although there are a lot of lessons going on so might have to wait 15-30 minutes if coming in the evening. Michael at the fitness center was great, very respectful and I appreciated his flexibility, guy deserves a raise!
…The indoor track is great when the weather is bad. Do consider joining the Dundee Park District!
…Lap swim lanes are usually available during classes. Check their schedule before you go tho, as sometimes there's lots going on and it gets quite crowded.
