I'm a grandma of 4 boys. I took them there to swim today. The little one is seven. He found a little friend to play with in the kiddi pool. His friend and dad went to the therapy pool. My grandson followed of course I did also. He forgot the stairs she yells how old are you I said he is seven. She said he is too old. I said ok and we returned to the kiddi pool. We then went outside for 20 minutes vans returned to the kiddi pool pool he walked over to the middle of the fence at the Troy pool to say hi to his friend and she yells at him again you can't get in. He was not at the entrances he was watching at the fence. This is a boy who is being supervised by his grandmother not just dropped off. I told a woman supervisor. She said she would talk to her I'm sitting while she walks up to the supervisor and denies She did that. She should be paying attention to her therapy pool not a seven year old that is not doing anything and has his grandmother right next to him. read more

The Carson Aquatics Center is really professional with multiple pools, clean, large changing rooms and showers. Indoor and outdoor pools too. Check the schedule for more info. read more

Of course today was regionals competition for swimming. So my review is based on the facilities more than it is anything else. It's a large facility with 16 lanes or more. They have a nice kiddie pool and an outdoor slide area. Outdoor area was closed, however lots of kids were sitting at the tables snacking while they were waiting for their turn to swim. Definitely a nice aquatic facility read more

See all

I started swimming here in 1999 through high school until 2003. It's hands down the best pool on this side of the state of Nevada. They have a ton of lanes to swim laps and their hours are doable with most peoples schedules. Yes I have seen this facility age but that's a given with time. Typically, it takes me only 20 minutes to drive here from my house in South Reno. I love love love this pool, it brings back so many memories. read more

Carson Aquatic Facility - Recreation Centers Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

The only reason preventing me from a one star rating is the sentimental value from years ago. Have been there a few times lately for convenience sake. However, I don't find the staff very friendly. We go to the therapy pool for disabilities and most of the lifeguards stare like they can barely keep back laughter. It is understandable that they have to watch for safety but to laugh at someone who seems or looks different in some way is uncalled for. Also, aside from a very few, many of the customers are not very welcoming to walk-in. The place looks worn and uncared for. Handicap shower/dressing rooms are dirty, showers are broken and lack of shower mats are a health/safety hazard. It is no wonder many people seek other facilities. read more

This place only has a tot pool that is open for only two hours a day. They blame staffing however we all know they have enough money to afford a lifeguard. The problem is some director or higher up pocketing money meant for childrens learning. Shame on this place. The only public pool in all of Carson and they are not child friendly. This is an unacceptable public pool. read more

My kids did swim lessons here and loved it! The pools are clean, and the staff is friendly. We were considering getting a membership (instead of doing the gym), but the workout room is seriously lacking. Overall, great place to swim, though. read more

Great place., friendly staff. It's a very fun pool and probably the best one in the Carson City area. The lanes are wide and it's an Olympic size pool, which are hard to find. The locker room is also very nice. Only negative side, the lockers could be replaced or repainted. They are starting to show some small rust spots. Overall a great experience. read more

The previous reviewer had negative comments about hours and internet. Let's go ahead and say that's a result of reduced budgets and if he/she doesn't like that, they should write their legislator and ask for more park funding. The hours were expanded in 2014 and during the summer the pool was open 7 days a week. I was pretty stoked. Carson City has one of the nicest facilities in the area and they have four to choose from. One is a covered OLYMPIC sized pool that has many lap lanes that can withstand the use of multiple swim teams who use the area (because unlike Reno, we actually have an indoor pool, and their teams drive at least half an hour to use ours), open swim with the use of diving boards and basketball hoops, community classes for aerobics, standup yoga and swim lessons, and lastly public lap swim. During the weekends, the pool is opened to long swim and one lane is utilized for SCUBA. The pool next to it is for toddlers which is where the other reviewer needs to hang out.. It's disgustingly warm but that's what the little kiddos need. The other indoor pool is a therapy pool for people who need warmer water for injuries or age-related issues. The last pool is outdoors and is awesome during the summer. During the day, you can swim laps in the sun and work on your bathing suit tan and other parts of the day, it's open swim and the water slide is turned on. I would not suggest swimming laps during that time because it creates an interesting whirlpool with the water pressure. Challenging lap swim at least. The pools are clean and routinely checked. The pools do not have a strong chlorine smell which also indicates that they are careful about their hygiene and chemical formulas. The locker rooms aren't the greatest and that's probably why I'll give it 4 stars but it's an old building. Carson remodeled their pools but didn't have much to rebuild a state of the art locker room for the princesses but who spends all day in the locker room?? They clean it every evening but if you're concerned, bring some flipflops. Lockers are available but again, if you're concerned, bring a lock. The staff isn't the most helpful as they're mostly high schoolers. Just yell at them and they'll get you what you need. Overall it's a great facility and western Nevada is lucky to have it. Have questions? Get off the internet and go talk to a human being! read more

Not the best hours, poor internet information, though improved upon from the past, and the pool water is cooooold. The changing rooms are a little dirty (in fact two of the staffers decided to dust the wall right over my friend's and my clothing bags, which made no sense and could have been done later. There is a therapy pool and classes but there seems to be not a lot of info on those items, or so much is subject to change, you can't really get a handle on when you can get into the therapy pool or get a class, unless you go every day. But the good parts is friendly front desk and lifeguards, quick access to the pool using prepaid cards, and a pretty neat little family changing room with wheelchair access in the therapy pool. Easy to find people who can give you private lessons. The public classes are iffy. Because there are too many kids per teacher, it's just a waste of your money. Better to have your kids in private swim. read more

This is an incredible facility. Every employee is always available to help you. This is an Olympic sized in Carson city. There are ample opportunities to swim from 5:45am to 7:30pm. Just ask for a schedule. With constant use from high school swim team, master swimmers, to beginning babies, someone is always using the pool, or probably in the shower. I am glad the staff finds time to clean the showers and yet help us maintain our privacy. This is a very professionally run establishment. Jump in and make a "SPLASH!" read more
