The supervisor Brenna was made aware and offered another instructor (Alyza) who scheduled then no-showed for the appointment, later claimed an emergency. We sat at the pool for some time, ironically while Brenna LeBlanc, supervisor walked past us several times, never saying a word. It was not until I complained and demanded a refund at the front desk that Brenna Le Blanc was called and mumbled some sad apologies before TURNING AND WALKING AWAY.

Last time we were there they didn't have enough lifeguards to let children play in the small kids area even. Would love to give better review, but as a parent, this is pretty disappointing.

I was thrilled when I pulled in and saw the parking lot almost completely empty, thinking we had finally picked a quiet time to swim. Unfortunately, those hopes were quickly dashed when we were told we couldn't enter the pool because it was already "at capacity" based on the number of lifeguards on duty. Given the nearly empty parking lot, it seemed to be a staffing issue rather than the pool actually being crowded. Unfortunately, this is just one of several frustrating experiences we've had at this rec center. My 6-year-old's lips turn blue after spending more than about 20 minutes in the main pool because of how cold it is. The only area that is really appropriate for him to practice swimming is adult-only for the majority of the day, with only a very limited window for children--and during that window, we're now being told the pool is at capacity. We've also had multiple negative interactions with both front desk staff and lifeguards who have been unnecessarily rude and unhelpful. A previous reviewer made an assessment that I now completely agree with: if you're an older adult, this rec center may be a great fit, as the programming and pool schedules seem heavily geared toward adults. If you have a young family and are looking for a place to work out and swim with your children, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
