The pool is located next door to tennis courts, play ground and large grassy area for a picnic. Only those getting in the water are required to pay for admission, so a nice price break for adults looking to lounge while watching their older kids. A must go while visiting Sellwood!

Family fun and worry/sunburnt-free!…read more These days I'm all about finding that perfect balance between work, spending time with loved ones, while enjoying activities. That's why I'm obsessed with this new find in the Southwest community! This neighborhood community center has cool activities like two indoor pools. One is designated for laps- 9 feet deep and the other includes a wading pool with slide, up to 4 ft and 6 inches at the deepest. I also love that there is a shower and lockers open for use so you can clean up before heading to the pool. The kids seem to absolutely love it - there are tons of other families with little ones. Open pool time is ~ 2-4pm, go early so you can get in. There's a capacity limit, our visit happened to be 75. If want to make it, BE THERE EARLY. Can not stress this enough. It is not the staff's fault if you can not get in. There are standards for a reason. You do not want to be cooped up in a space where it can not accommodate for more than what's expected. You also want to keep in mind that there are lifeguards to look out for everyone's safety and well being, so please be mindful of that as well! There are also other parts of the center to enjoy, such as an indoor basketball gym, rollerskating sessions, aqua aerobics, gym, and even dancing. It's the perfect blend of family-friendly fun and adult-approved relaxation. If you're looking for a place with a strong sense of community, stunning scenery, and a pool that's basically its own mini-vacation destination, then this is your spot! Totally recommend it! P.S. If you ever see me poolside with a noodle in hand, say hi! I'm learning how to swim - and it's fun to make some friends while we're at it!

We cannot say enough about the amazing experience we've had at Farber Swim School. As a mom who has…read moretried other local swim schools, I noticed the Farber difference immediatly. More impartantly my daughter noticed. At other swim schools my daughter had developed an intense fear of the water. As the parent I too had developed some anxiety around class due to strict policies and a cold clinical teaching methodology. The day we walked into farber all of that changed. Farber is family operated and you feel like family in their amazing space. The culture is welcoming, happy, relaxed and supportive. Specifically teacher Breanna has been an exceptional influence on my daughter as well as all children lucky enough to be in her class. She is so warm and intuitive with each child. Her expertise shines in class as she gets to know each child personally and builds a bond with them. Through this bond she is easily able to establish trust and to notice when they are ready for next steps. She finds a way to help the kids feel comfortable and confident and that is the BEST learning environment. I doubt we will ever find a teacher like her. My daughter now lives for swim class and sings teacher Breanna's name the entire car ride there. its been a beautiful transformation to witness. A transformation I am so grateful for. Breanna turned her fear into her passion with the most gentle confident mentorship. On top of that, Farber is considerably less expensive and more flexible on schedule changes than most swim schools in the area. 10/10 recommend.

A decade at this pool is always love and hate. Because of community here it's so good to think…read morethat we have outdoor swimming pool in summer BUT most of the time we are unable to use it. Their lap swim schedule is horrible. After work, between 4-6 pm: only 2 lanes for "multiple" swimmers AND joggers. Yes turtles and dolphins together in the lane! The rest 4 lanes for swim lessons. If you swim you know how annoying it is to get blocked by joggers. One thing for you to think about; with respect those joggers that have all the floaty devices, shouldn't they go jog at the deep end or just any available spots in the pool? They don't need lanes. Lap swimmers need lanes, with clear direction and separated fast and slow lanes. And this year, no open-swim at the end of the hot sweaty days because they have to keep 2 lanes for little kids swim class *at the shallow area* ok that's fine but why waste of resource at the deep end. And one lane reserved for "private lesson". Ok thprd you value private lesson but that's only 40 bucks at most you get. The reality is, it doesn't serve teens and adults who want to practice their strokes, lets face it this lane out of six serve ONE wealthy kid. Where is equality you stand for? It is stupid decision of management. Swim center supervisor should understand the use of the pool especially in small community that have so many young children. Another thing to think about, ONE kid common! What a privilege. Thprd, ask neighborhood if you can't come up with a better idea for scheduling. Please ask. We pay tax. We send our kids to swim lessons continually for 10 years we have a lot of valuable inputs. We are good members who always follow the rules and clean up the park. We want to swim. Yes! We want to "swim". Do you understand?

My experience with SafeSplash has been very disappointing, and I haven't even started classes yet…read more I initially enrolled online but had several questions because the schedule was confusing, the swim levels weren't clearly explained, and the website didn't provide enough information. When I called, I was already three-quarters of the way through the enrollment process. The representative asked me to cancel my online enrollment so he could enroll me over the phone, saying I'd get a better price. It ended up being exactly the same price. I also asked multiple times about private lessons because my schedule is very limited. Instead of answering my question, the representative kept talking about creating a group class. I had to explain several times that I wasn't looking for a group class--I wanted private lessons on a schedule that worked for me. Eventually, we found one group class that fit my schedule, and it was literally the only time I could attend. I enrolled and paid the annual registration fee based on that schedule. Then, on the day the class was supposed to start, SafeSplash changed the class time, making it impossible for me to attend. Since then, I've called twice and have been promised a callback within 48 hours, but no one has followed up. I've also been told that the annual registration fee is non-refundable because my class "already started"--even though the reason I can't attend is because they changed the schedule after I enrolled. I understand that schedules sometimes need to change, but customers shouldn't be penalized or charged a non-refundable fee when the company changes the only class they were able to attend. I hope SafeSplash reconsiders how it handles situations like this and improves both its communication and customer service. I'm happy to change my review if you change my experience. C. Travis

I got a personal recommendation from another parent…read more While my child already knows how to swim, they still need help with their stroke technique - so they come twice a week in the summer to get private swim instruction/coaching so they can improve. Everything that they've struggled with, each coach has been able to meticulously help with corrections. I think that's just a big part of their training. The coaches we've had are relatively young just like the ones at your local community center but there's something about their training that really allows them to isolate, emphasize and correct each movement. This is the location on Westview Dr in Lake Oswego. It's a private residence on a beautiful property, but parking can be a bit tricky. You'll be parking in a wraparound driveway, and not all drivers navigate it well. Be sure to avoid narrow spots and don't park on the grass. I felt a little anxious about it at first but found that parking either near the path to the pool (without blocking tree actual garage) or closer to the gate usually avoids blocking others and makes it easier to come and go. If parking is something that really bugs you too, you can also just park outside the property and walk up the driveway like the swim instructors do. Way easier!
