The Lap Swim Connection
Short lanes M-Sat
Long Lanes T/Th till 10:30
Over zealous Tri Athletes make long lanes hard
For the fitness swimmers to enjoy- they yell, blow
Whistles and cause a lot of wake.
Best to wait for tri's to clear pool or get there before
They do to get in a long nice stretched relaxed swim.
Pros: 365 outdoor swimming, alert non texting staff, you are ignored
Unless you make direct contact. Most are engaging nice kids.
Have never experienced pool shut down due to chemical imbalance
Seek off peak hours to swim: M-F 5:00 -2:30 pm is pretty good
6:00 pm - closing is usually primo. Upstairs has a suit spinneret but this locker shower room is poorly organized... Mothers drag in small boys and give you dirty looks if you shower naked . Seriously water drainage in downstairs showers is poor.
Activity pool noise and crowds in summer attending activity pool are best avoided. Hopefully the new water park in town will start getting most of the local traffic. Kids from activity pool crash lap swim lanes in summer- lifeguards don't enforce the rules.
Indoor pool is a chlorine kid screaming screech dome- avoid Unless this appeals to you, you're deaf or have Aqua iPod to drown out the racket. It's warm water in the indoor pool which is great for small kids, elderly - if you seriously swim it's just too warm.
Overall, the outdoor pool needs floor work, stains and drains cleaned of gum. After school Swim teams are full of great kids but the coaches strut and yell.
I always meet the nicest people. Swiping there!
