    My wife was trying to obey the rules by putting up our daughters hair after the life guard yelled at us that hair must be tied up, so she set our 2 year old son next to her standing up in water that went up to his thighs, as she was tying her hair the baby fell over and was floating for just a moment, the life guard alerts my wife by saying, "Does he normally do that?" my wife quickly picks up the baby and is now terrified making sure the few seconds under water didn't cause any real damage, ( it did not ) . The life guard jokes saying "The head is heavier than the rest of the body, if he were to be looking in the toilet his head would fall in" The lifeguard said it with a small laugh. My wife is shaking and in tears from the scare. The life guard then acts angry again and ask my wife if my 2 year old is wearing a swim diaper. ( he was) but it was terrible that she was crying and shook up and he was still being nasty at her about rules in that very moment! He also yelled at me and my 6 year old son when i was gently swimming with him holding onto my back. he said it was considered horse play. We left after his rudeness to my wife. All this time we stayed silent and tried to do what he was yelling at us. Ridiculous behavior that all happened in about 7 minutes. That was a year and a half ago. Never went back.

    NEWEST UPDATES: no longer need reservations, however there is still 1 person per lane. They close every hour and make everyone get out of the pool and can swim again for another 50 minutes. One lane is water walking, which is literally just walking in the water. Not a good place for kids to swim, there is a line to get into the regular lanes. Its a 100meter pool, huge lanes, lots of water, which means lots of pumps and filtration which means lots of resources to keep the pool clean. The amount of chemicals needed must be astronomical. Bad allocation of resources. It's essentially the same thing as running every appliance in a house at the same time all the time, but only staying in one room. The pool can hold much more than 7 people safely. We allow restaurants where everyone is eating or planes where everyone is inches away, but we can't have more than 7 people in a humongous pool at the same time? Perhaps make everyone show they are vaccinated or tested negative like restaurants and everything else? Or close the pools, i can't get over the wasted resourced keeping this thing running. COVID UPDATES: for anyone who is wondering i uploaded a photo of the hours. and also the new number to call. In addition to the really weird time frames and 15, yes 15 rules they have posted. They only take reservations in the morning from 7:45am to 8am, if you come after that they do not take reservations, I do not know why but this is also the same state that allows covid positive travelers to come to hawaii as long as they do a 14 day quarantine. You will need to call the front desk with the number I updated, and some lifeguard will come to the front gate to escort you in... the gate will be unlocked so I don't know why they would need someone to escort you in if the gate is unlocked. They said they want to lessen the cross contamination between patrons, but if this is true, its better to have a lock on the gate, vs. a sign that says STOP, especially if a lifeguard is going to come and escort you in anyways.

    Great place to bring your kids all kinds of activities. Lots to do not just swimming pool. It's the District Park. Tennis Basketball Baseball Playground Skateboard Park and more organized scheduled activities for the family.

    I found the pool to be clean and the water temp wasn't bad. I wouldn't say it's a heated pool, but I was there to swim laps. Once I made a lap I was warm. The lifeguards didn't seem thrilled or friendly, but they weren't rude. They use cones to mark the lanes, so pay attention to the lane marker on the bottom of the pool or a lifeguard will say something. I can't complain for a FREE pool to lap swim.
