TomQnel· 3 weeks agoGreat swim venue for competitive swimming & diving as well as leisure swimming. The side spectator bleachers are not protected from sun so if you are going to watch a swim meet, prepare for the sun. They have beautiful bleachers behind the starting blocks, but due to MAAPP policies, they block the view of the swimmers on the starting blocks.
Dee Hovey· 9 months agoThis is my favorite pool ever. I love being able to swim outdoors year round. The hours are great, whether I want to go early morning, or late evening, or get some laps in at lunch. There are always lanes available. It is chilled in the summer which is amazing! No more swimming in bathtub temperature water! It is newly renovated and everything is sparkling. My only complaint is the locker room, while improved is still fairly bare bones, although the addition of lockers is nice. The floor, while slightly textured is still very slippery. Make sure you've got very grippy shoes on! I took a tumble a few weeks ago. Overall, it's a great pool!
Takeya Trayer· 10 months agoNice to have more than one board for diving. The pool is the only place we have visited so far but tennis courts and park are by visible from pool area. Bring your own chair so you can follow the shade. The park is pretty nice. Looks like it has a playground and a work out loop. And a mini zip line! Update: the pool got some upgrades! A nice clock and lots of shade over the seating. I'm pretty sure the inside of the pool was refinished also.
SouthPhilly Lily· 9 months agoI was here for the first time after living just a mile away, only a month ago. What an impressive space.!! I just love how large and clean the pool is. I didn’t swim in it, but I did enjoy watching the synchronous practice. There’s a small gym, which has everything you need it looks like there are so many programs for residents to take advantage of. I definitely suggest stopping by and see what they offer for you or you’re fine.
Jan Broucinek· 9 months agoVery nice pool. Bleachers need clearly defined asiles. There are none leading to dangerous conditions when they fill up.
