The soft play room is great for babies and toddlers and it’s one of the largest public pools in Alexandria. The staff are always courteous and the facilities are perfectly clean if not brand new. The reason for the 3 stars is despite being “public” it’s closed basically 24/7 to small children so people who pay for private swim lessons $200-$250 a month for group, or per lesson for private can have the entire space. They suggest coming back during the tiny window it is free 1-3PM.. which as any under 5 parent knows is nap time. So basically only kids whose parents want to pay that much can learn to swim. Really disappointing for something that should be accessible to everyone.
Great local swimming pool for lessons and training. I attended a scuba refresher course that was put on by Blue Octopus scuba also I'm Alexandria.
Great place to go for a swim at noon on a weekday.
My 1 year old baby girl loves this place. With just 5 dollars your baby can have 30 min of fun. I recommend it.
Locals were rude, pushing their way past us to scan their membership card while we were paying to go inside. Admission for non-residents was cheap at $12 but Observers shouldn't be charged if not using facility. We were charged an additional $7 just for an observer to enter. Sauna was reading 200 degrees which is oven temp and dangerous. Pool was a great temp and showers locker room were clean. Overall fun trip for a family outing
It's a great space! Staff is very friendly as always. We went to go swimming and I would have given our visit 5 stars but the water in the pool was very cold. Uncomfortably cold for it to be an indoor pool. The sitting area where people could watch on the deck was very comfortable which surprised us that the water was chilling. Otherwise our visit was good.
There's always parking. Great for small kids: outdoor playground, indoor soft playroom $5, and a field for flying kites or playing ball. My toddler and I love to have snack inside at the tables that overlook the swimming pool. Expect a 20-30 minute wait for the soft playroom on rainy days.
An amazing place that offers too many great things for the local community. The staff is helpful and nice. Lots of space and the pool is the attraction that bri gs us back for swimming lessons. There is a nice gym and a nice play area for the kiddos. The wifi is a nice bonus. The space to rent for birthdays is sweet.
Nice pool and staff. Lots of swimming and diving instructors use the facility. Only shortfall is that there's only one family changing room, and it's very busy. Need 1 or 2 more to accommodate all the families since the wait can be long.
Me and my family always come here for swimming class and excercise. The place is amazing and the swimming teachers are very good. But since these few months like I can say the last 3 months the people who sit in the front desk are impolite and disrespectful. Especially when you ask questions there not happy. Today Sunday 10/30 the guy who's on the desk even ask me if I can understand English and turns to my child for confirmation. I tried to be polite and told him I perfectly understand English and ask why He asked me to pay extra 1 dollar to watch my kids swimming. They are under 12 and I cannot leave them an attended. And I heard this rule for the first time. So, now days they have different rules with different receptionist. And they treat people differently. I really sort about it. But I'll never stop coming here.
