I take my son here for swimming lessons. If you are a Mesa resident then lessons are only $22 for 6 weeks! The aquatic center is huge. The lessons are held in the kid's pool area where the water slide is. There's a really shallow play area too. They also have a diving pool that is 13 feet deep and and olympic size pool for laps. They have a grand stand for watching events and a picnic area and shaded areas for lounge chairs. There is really something for everyone at this pool.
