You
take
the
good
with
the
bad.
First
is
the
good:
It's
an
excellent
place
for
a
family
with
kids,
especially
if
you
live
in
the
area.
There
are
two
pools
which
are
both
outside,
this
allows
for
the
pool
that
the
kids
use
to
be
nearly
always
available.
That
works
really
well
for
me,
as
I
can
bring
my
boys
and
there
are
almost
always
kids
from
the
neighborhoods
that
they
know
and
can
play
with.
For
me
when
I
go
alone
I
can
swim
laps
without
worrying
if
it's
the
right
time
of
day.
The
rest
of
the
facility
is
decent,
although
in
a
larger
metro
you
can
get
equivalent
club
memberships
for
half
as
much
or
less.
But
this
is
Santa
Barbara
and
the
competition
is
the
YMCA
which
is,
sadly,
so
poorly
run
(especially
for
families,
ironically).
The
issues
I
have
have
more
to
do
with
the
management.
Calls
into
the
club
about
billing
questions
or
facility
reservations
have
gone
unreturned.
It
seems
like
every
week
or
two
I
get
an
email
about
part
of
the
facility
being
offline
for
repairs
or
other
functions.
Mind
you,
I
appreciate
the
facility
being
kept
in
repair,
but
there
seems
to
be
no
strategy
on
this
at
all.
Often
the
repairs
are
scheduled
in
prime
use
windows
instead
of
non-peak.
They
also
don't
seem
to
be
well
co-ordinated,
where
the
pool
might
be
closed
for
a
period
then
the
adjacent
lockers,
then
their
laundry
is
broken
(where
they
don't
opt
to
use
a
service
in
the
mean
time)
and
so
on.
Finally
it's
pretty
traditional.
Tennis
and
fitness
and
swimming.
They've
updated
some
of
the
fitness
but
there
are
no
rock
climbing
or
other
fun
activities
outside
of
the
pool
that
some
more
modern
clubs
have.
In
any
case
it's
still
my
gym,
which
given
the
high
cost
is
saying
that
I
consider
it
the
best
option
for
my
family.
Still,
there
is
much
room
for
improvement
and
I'm
not
sure
I
will
renew
after
the
contract
period.
