During lap swim , please swim in lane appropriate for your speed and ability. Slow, medium, fast. And don't stand in the middle of the lane when you're resting. Stand to the side!

Heather Conrad

I really love it here.... Just wish there were more lounge chairs!

Nothing but a towel , sunblock, and a bound book allowed on deck. Lockers are small and only secure as your lock. Leave the cell phones and valuables at home

Alice Davis

You’re not aloud to bring anything with you!! I showed up with a bag that had my towel , sunscreen , a book and my phone and they wouldn’t let me in. No phones aloud. I’m sorry it’s 2018!!
