Pros: salt water pool, chlorine pool, slides, lazy river with intertubes for kids, adults, and babies, mini water park area, most lifeguards seem alert, splash pad, locker rooms for families, good prices. Cons: food counter is terrible.

This pool is everything. Especially on a hot day in Madison!…read more This Sunday we went here on a whim for the first time. It was so nice! So much space for all people. There's areas for lap swimming/more adult centric activities, and kiddo friendly sections. And it has a slide!!!! No need to wait for hours at a water park to go down a slide. This slide gives you the thrill you seek, with no wait. Less the kiddos also waiting for their turn! The chairs are ready great quality for a public pool. They aren't the most comfortable thing in the world, but they are sturdy and do the job. Water was clean. I saw one hairball in the drain, which was a little gross, but for a public pool I felt safe. I didn't venture into the bathrooms this time so can't speak to those. My partner went to see the snack station and said there were plenty of affordable options should you get hungry. You are allowed to bring in food and drink, but there is a designated area to eat them. I saw a full season for residents is $85 and a daily was $6 (at time of writing this review). It's worth checking out for how reasonable it is. I'll definitely be back again!

We were pleased with the overall upkeep of grounds and facilities. Lifeguards are on duty everywhere so there is a feeling of safety letting your kids swim as they please. There's a cool water slide and separate diving pool. Large area is sectioned off for different age ranges. Rules are followed and most patrons are respectful. A few bandaids, hairs, bugs and dirt along the bottom and around the pool kept me from posting a higher review. Overall a good sport and we might come back.

Kind of reminds me of the set up in Elmhurst, IL. Skate Park, Pool, Waterpark-ish area. Another skate park I dropped my "big kid" off, but I actually ended up staying. Nice clean park, and nice area to park under a tree and read a book which is exactly what I did while waiting for J to get done skating. Very nice!

Secondly they teach your child water safety and life saving tactics FIRST. Things like how to float and what to do if you fall in. They don't just spend one lesson on it either but several until your child is comfortable. Ms Kelly is so patient and very knowledgeable and wonderful with kids. She loves to teach and it shows. My kids have learned more in a few lessons vs months of lessons at other places. Do yourself a favor and enroll your children here. They learn so much so fast.
