She takes care of the pool when know one else will. Should also make sure to watch out for me and the kids when I'm by myself. One once to play (6) and the other one just learning about Big Pool (2). So I get pulled in 2 different directions. I hope one day they will have a swim team or swimming lesson here again. This is a great pool to learn.

This is the main community pool for the subdivision of Telfair. Located next to the Central Hall…read moreand the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land at University Blvd and New Territory Blvd. Since this is a community pool, you would need a pool tag to get in. The pool tag is essentially a key fob (2 per household) that raises the parking arms leading to the parking lot for the pool and entering the pool. Enter the pool, sign in on the tablet, find an empty spot, and have fun! For you long time Telfair residents who have just thought about checking out the pool for the first time in almost 12 years, check your key fobs (if you ever applied for one), if they are the white ones, you need to get them changed at the Telfair Central Hall during office hours. This pool is fairly large with children's play and kiddie pool areas that have water sprouts and geysers for kids to get in and cool off. There is also a slightly deeper area for older kids to enjoy the heightened buoyancy deeper water offers. Off to the side, there are some lap pool areas offering more serious swimmers to do their laps. Perhaps the main attraction is none other than the towering, multi-story water slide that... If it is open, it has water shooting out of it. If you have gone on a cruise ship and seen those large water slides on the top deck of the ships and are kicking yourselves of not being able to work up the nerve to try it? Now is your chance to do it, and you don't have to pay to use (that is, additional, except for being a resident). As with all large water slides sending people down the chute with gravity's assistance, please remove all loose articles (like jewelry, glasses, etc.) before going on the slides. Because if they fly off, who knows if you will ever find them (whole) again. There are restrooms in the facility and lifeguards on duty when the pool is open. One thing I do wish that it has are shower stalls inside to allow residents more convenience and privacy to change out of their wet swimwear before getting into their cars. A few hand dryers won't hurt either, but then again, people will start asking about lockers and benches like the Aquatic Center, good ol' Aquatic Center. For a community pool, it is still a very good one. The other community pool closer to our house doesn't open as early as this one and certainly isn't as big. So we will be coming here more often. The real challenge now is to get our little 2 year old to start liking the water.

Since hot muggy summers are a thing in Houston, so too are community pools such as Willow Pool,…read morewhich is located in the heart of Meyerland. It is low-key, easy to miss, neighborhood gathering spot that is perfect for groups, families, and solo swimmers. Looking for a dip from the heat. Folks who are part of the community will be able to enter without charge. Everyone else pays $5. Parking is available on site but is limited. Once inside there is plenty of seating to accommodate different groups and sizes. Like most community pools, there are teenage lifeguards who are very attentive and provide breaks throughout the sessions to keep the pool behavior in check. I appreciate that they're doing a solid job keeping an eye on things while still helping cultivate a laid-back atmosphere. The water is clean and there are lots of youngins running around. A big tip would be to bring a fly deterrent and bug spray just in case. Try not to sit near the trees as those tables are subject to get inundated by flies. I made the mistake of bringing a lot of different foods which in turn brought on lots of bugs. Overall this is a solid neighborhood pool spot. The $5 admission won't break the bank and it's cheaper than many other Community pools. It's hardly luxury, but it is a convenient and affordable option. Pack lots of bug spray and be weary of flies.

Shaded seating and tables, the Noah's Ark kiddie pool with small slides and fountains, and of course the main large pool with diving boards and a water slide for big kids. There was something for everyone and a great idea for kids birthdays with a large amount of people! Clean restrooms are also a plus. It was closed today but there's a concession stand and during the week and they don't allow outside food and drinks (unless it's a privately booked party) so do not bring a cooler of snacks and drinks. Lots of fun for us and the kids, and a great location for a birthday party!

In reality, you just need to pay attention to whether or not your kid and their teacher are a good match. My son was with one teacher for almost year with very slow progress and no float test pass. I think it was due to the combo of teacher being more cautious type and my son being more scared type. He was a 4 almost 5 year old in a class with 3 years olds. Anyway, it was my fault for not paying more attention and switching him to another class sooner. He is did great with his new teacher and passed his float test (finally). We had to switch him again recently due to scheduling conflicts and I will be more attentive to his progress from now on.

The teachers at this other school were all high school students that didn't have much experience.

The only thing I don't like is the parking is not that great since it's inside a neighborhood and you have to park in front of houses sometimes.
