| - Pools aren't just for getting drunk or sunbathing, some people actually use them for fitness! My husband and I recently started swimming laps together, and the Heritage Park Aquatic Complex is where we get our swim on. At $2 a swim, it's a bargain. And if you plan in swimming often you can purchase multi-swim punchcards which make it even cheaper ($20 for a 30 punch card, other options available).
The facility just opened in 2010 so it's fairly new, and it was designed with energy conversation in mind. There are two indoor pools.. a larger one complete with diving boards, lanes for swimming and an area for kids to play. The second pool is considered the instructional and therapeutic pool. There are classes offered, both instructional and fitness. For lap swimmers, there are flippers and kickboards available to use, and there are also aquaweights for people that want to do some water aerobics.
The facility is used by water polo teams for both practice and events, and there have been swim meets held at the pool as well so from time to time it does get rather busy. Swim lanes are often filled up on weekday afternoons, but most swimmers have no problem sharing a lane. Every so often you may have to deal with an unruly child that isn't being properly supervised by his or her parents, but the lifeguards try to keep the swim lanes free from horseplay.
I own a pool, but I am still a big fan of the Heritage Park Aquatic Complex because it offers indoor swimming at a super affordable price! Pretty cool!!
