I love that they have a zero-entry pool that is good for the kids, with a slide and kiddie pool, plus a nice playground. Parking is never a problem, and the pool areas never feel crowded. The snack bar is run by The Market on the Boulevard and has many options, but it has limited hours and is sometimes closed w/o explanation. The Wi-Fi throughout is nice, and they have a good tennis program. Our wait was 5 years to get in. They have nice events throughout the pool season. Our only complaint is we don't find it friendly; likely, we would know more families if our kids were on the swim team or attended camp.

Well their emphasis is on the "swim team" and a former swim team member that happens to be famous- have you heard? Oh, but that is why the pool is 82 degrees, which for most of us is cold. - Why is the pool closed daily from 4:30-6:30pm all summer? Again - swim team. Oh yeah - and sometimes weekends for swim meets and pep rallies - for swim team. - Wait - where are my neighbors? Yeah - not a local pool - a "swim and tennis club" - people from DC, Rockville,and as far as Germantown. Not the local kids from Cabin John - their parents tried the waitlist and gave up. Eight years remember? - Where are the kids? Why is the pool so boring and empty? You'll need a good answer because your kids will ask. Well "swim and tennis club" remember - they have plenty of members, they just don't use the pool. To quote my daughter "it's a nice pool with no one to have fun with."

5/23/21 This place looks amazing, but many things have…read morechanged since I was a kid. The design of the men and women shows have changed, but especially the location of the showers. An elevator is now available for the handicapped or people who need to be separated for this Coronavirus Pandemic. No long fence to move around to go to the bathroom or get icecream from the icecream truck. However, it looks like this pool might welcome back the icecream trucks, because I did not see the snack shop there. From where I was I saw the middle pool and the baby pool off in the distance. The life guard station was empty, but it looked more roomier than I remember as a kid. Membership and stuff are all online, but since I was in the neighborhood, I thought I would stop by and ask. While there, I discovered two of my sister's records had still yet to be beaten. My pathetic records were beaten with in a year. This was in the early 80's. My diving record was either beaten or I did not see if it was there. The high dive is still gone, but I will always remember jumping off it while it was there back in the 1980's. Would have liked to get a picture from where I entered the pool area, but I did not feel comfortable taking pictures of little kids in their bathing suits. "Guess there is a point I won't go beyond" to quote Hans from Enter The Dragon. Excellent pool and I love what the designer did with the place. Still, I do remember how the step use to have plants with spiders on each side of the stairs. Guess you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Kenmont boasts 3 separate pools (Kids, main and lap pools), a basket ball, and 2 tennis courts. It also has a huge picnic area and 6-8 grills for the members. We do not have Mr. Patrick (gentlemen who used to sell snacks for the kids) but we have state-of the art vending machines ;-). There has been lots of facility upgrades such as the stairs going to the courts, new fans in the clubhouse, a filtered automatic water fountain, new led lights in the pool (nice during night swims). Kenmont also formed several committees such as the improvement committee, social, management liaison, etc. to respond and address the needs of the members. Communications to the members are timely and efficient. This pool rocks!

The Kentlands pool reminds me of my summers as a kid. All the kids in the neighborhood have a blast just like me in my old pool. The staff at the pool are great, they're always on top of everything and focused on making sure all patrons have a great time. My niece needed to complete a swim test and the manager was on it, the whole process was easy and stress free. Last week I fell asleep working on my tan and a young handsome lifeguard politely woke me up when the pool was closing. He was truly a professional. Overall, you can take my word that the Kentlands pool is the best pool I've ever been to.

It's just average, the pool is clean enough, the chairs are ok, and the life guards are fine. But the special something is just missing! When I look around the pool it's strangely quiet and their isn't that summer spark I expect. In my experience at the Kentlands Pool I also found one major flaw. The ping pong table and balls were a disgrace! I was shocked at the poor quality and it made playing ping pong with my son unbearable. Overall, the Kentlands Pool lacks that special something but is a passable pool if you need to take a quick dip.
