Pretty pool but pretty much mayhem in the water. Each lane while large had at least 4-5 swimmers and there wasn’t any real rhythm. Also a ton of folks were just standing at the edge of one of the lanes just hanging out- preventing others from using the lane. Gorgeous location but extremely busy and not well organized.

This is a great public pool, it’s definitely on the older side of things, but for a neighborhood lap pool how can it get better. Really friendly patrons great staff, and a clean pool. I love coming here on a sunny day with the big trees shading the pool it’s pretty top notch.

Had a great swim yesterday. The fast lane can be very fast or very slow but if you're a medium or slow swimmer or just there to do a little muscle therapy, it's great. There are only three lanes during lap swim so you're almost certainly sharing a lane. The showers are warm, the locker rooms are spacious, the water is very clean, and it's almost always the warmest of the five pools I regularly swim. The parking lot is a little sketchy but I haven't had a problem so far. Temscal pool is faster and more crowded but has more lanes and your swim pass is good at either one.
