They have a small snack bar with things like soda and chips. Except for the swim lanes the whole pool is at most maybe 4 feet deep, it has a small lazy river, a whirlpool area that spins kids around, a zero entry - it's just all great for kids from around 3 to probably 10 or 11. I'm sure older kids will have fun too but it's almost perfect for the younger ones.

The new facility is sparkling and definitely worth visiting if you haven't seen it yet and becoming a member if you swim work out regularly. We paid about $250 for the family to join for the year and the bonus is that it gives the whole family access to all Atlanta public pools. The building is very open, bright (lots of natural light come in through the glass), and beautifully built. While ATL isn't the Northeast, winter is still somewhat more of a period of hibernation for a lot of people and the opening of this center provides a very nice public option for continuing to be active. It seems like they offer a wide variety of classes and activities for kids. While I can't speak to the basketball gym, workout facilities, and indoor running track on the second floor, the pool is great. It's helped our toddler develop an appreciation for the water and we haven't even tried their infant swim program yet. Some highlights of the pool are that the water is very warm, they have a beach front walk-in, a separate family changing room, a variety of aquatic toys for kids to enjoy, and a few fun sprinkler type poles in the pool. For parents looking to entertain their kids this could be a great drop-in option too at just $5 a visit I believe. My only complaints are 1) We've waited months to get our membership cards and the machine that prints them is always down or unavailable for some reason. This is obviously not such a big deal but 2) As this "undiscovered" gem is no longer so undiscovered, we've seen more and more swimmers come to the pool and it can be difficult to find a free lane to swim in now (especially around peak hours weeknights after work). This may just be what happens as you become a victim of your own success. The pool is huge but it's unfortunate that the way they built it the lanes cannot be expanded or added easily because the free swim section has a giant physical barrier from the lanes part.

From the best-kept-secret-until-now dept.: ProMotion Fitness is designed for people with…read moredisabilities, but anyone can join. My wife and I pay about $500/yr for a two-person membership, which gives us access to the heated swimming pool, the indoor track, the gymnasium (with basketball court -- and yes, there are some talented basketball players in wheelchairs), and a gym full of equipment designed for various kinds of bodily abilities. From the NuStep recumbent crosstrainers with optional foot straps and leg braces to the multtifunction weight machines designed to be used while sitting in a wheelchair (but also convenient for able-bodied people), to the CrossFit station modified specifically to include wheelchair users, and the stationary hand-bike (which works your arms as you work the pedals at shoulder height), there's a wide variety of fitness equipment that we both enjoy using. When the weather's bad, there's no better place to work out than ProMotion. The covered multi-story garage is connected to the Shepherd Center hospital, so you won't get even a drop of rain on you as you come in. You can run, walk, or wheel on the indoor track overlooking the basketball court and watch the fencing team or the murderball team practice. (If you haven't seen murderball, go watch the documentary about it -- a brutal and exhilarating sport, and I'm only speaking as a spectator.) The heated pool is open except for nearby lightning strikes, and you can shower in private stalls before weighing yourself on the wheelchair-friendly scale. (You roll your wheelchair up onto the ramp, transfer out of it, and set the weight to zero before getting back in to see your own weight.) Parking is free with a token from the security guard at the welcome desk (I assume there are people who have to pay the $1 fee, but I have no idea who they are), and there's a cafeteria one floor away with some reasonably tasty food considering that it's healthy. The only gripe I can think of -- and I've been trying for a while -- is that phone reception can be spotty in the workout room, situated as it is deep within a large building. That's okay -- I'd just as soon not be interrupted when I've hit my stride.

We mainly came just for the pool, so I didn't get the full chance to utilize everything the gym had to offer. The locker rooms and the pool were really nice though. When we arrived to the pool, we grabbed some drinks at the pool bar and noticed there was a DJ playing. There were many lounge chairs scattered throughout the pool area, but it wasn't too busy, so we were able to find a good spot to sit. We were both with our wives, so there were 4 of us. We had some snacks and drank by the pool. While I did love my visit here, I would never sign up to be a member, as monthly memberships are $200+ which in my opinion is quite steep. We Ubered here, so I am not too familiar with where parking is for members. I would come back here, but only if I was able to visit for free.

The staff are friendly and inside is clean. I'm taking one star off for the lack of cleanliness on the outside. There were chicken bones and food debris in the parking lot and right outside the main entrance. When I saw that I was concerned that the inside would be dirty, it was not and is much cleaner inside than some other county owned Natatoriums in the Atlanta Region. The showers have warm water and the pool is heated. The air conditioner was on in the locker room but that may be necessary to control the humidity. Overall, I'm glad this is close to where I live and that I am able to take private lessons here via All Star Swim Academy.
