    Actual name to use when looking up hours: Veterans Memorial Pool…read more For the convenient location in Cambridge, I was surprised that the pool wasn't at all crowded when visiting on Sunday afternoons this summer! There aren't very shallow areas for the toddlers like there are at some of the other DCR pools, such as Connors Memorial Pool in Waltham, which probably helps to keep the crowds down. But the pool is very spacious and has enough space both for lap swimmers and kids playing. The spray deck just outside is great for the younger kids, too.

    I had a previous review on here stating that the pool had no shade on the decks and the changing…read morerooms did not have privacy walls. It's a year later and they've done extensive updates to the pool location. 1. There's now an ADA regulation ramp with rails going into the pool for those in wheelchairs or who have trouble walking. 2. They added easier steps and hand rails for children and families to enter at the opposite end (long stairs that slope gently instead of ladder style.) 3. They have added permanent shade awnings around the pool, along with wooden benches underneath them (definitely still try to come early because those get snapped up quickly.) 4. The changing rooms are the same, but entering the locker rooms, there is now almost a rubberized "curtain" of small strips to walk through that creates privacy. Previously anyone walking by in the main corridor could see directly in. 5. The splash pad/fountain area has awnings and benches around it, and is ADA accessible. As of summer of 2023, the pool is open 7 days a week from 11:15AM-6:00PM. The changes have greatly improved the property, and it's a place where you can come and stay all day instead of roasting on hot concrete. They also have water fountains and outdoor showers along the pool deck for getting a quick drink and rinsing off.

    Even 1 star is too much. Do not, I repeat, do not, enroll your children in beginner level swim…read morelessons at Scituate Racquet & Fitness ("SR&F"). We enrolled our child in the beginner swim class in 2021. The particular instructor's methods are not only brutal but unnecessary, if not entirely counter-productive. Our child, who loved the water and had basic swimming competency prior to beginning ended up extremely fearful of the water and we spent the last year trying to undue the damage caused by SR&F. We know we are not alone as all of the other families pulled their kids from the class before we did due to the harsh and counter-productive training methodology. Worse yet, when we spoke with management to explain the issue with the instructor, they appeared to not only already know of the issues but to back the instructor. Save your time, energy and money and go elsewhere where your kids can actually learn how to swim in a safe and supportive environment.

    The owners, Chris, Barbara and Bill Horne have gone to great lengths to make the Scituate Racquet &…read moreFitness Club the Premier fitness club and the gold standard for racquet sports. Everyone is so nice and friendly and it is a really fun place. When I first joined, Chris was amazing and he introduced me to other Pickleball players. I've had so much fun attending Pickleball clinics with Barb and Jay and I know Chris and Bill manage the tennis and paddle tennis lessons. They are all amazing and patient teachers. So glad that I joined SRF!

    The pools have been beautifully renovated, and entrance now costs a dollar. There is an adult pool…read morethat's about 10ft deep in one end and 3.5' deep in the other, and a very nice toddler pool that is 1' at the shallowest and 3' at the deep end. The crowd is mostly parents with kids, and teenagers. Families bring rings, kickboards, and other water toys in. It's a very relaxed local vibe. You can come in with a stroller. No shade in the middle of the day, but there is reasonable shade in the later afternoon. Capacity is capped at 100. Adults need proof of Cambridge residency (license, water bill, etc.). Kids do not need an ID.

    This is how citified and vulgar I am: Screw the beach. Screw Cape Cod. Give me a municipal outdoor…read morepool, staffed by indifferent teenagers in sun-bleached red swimsuits, surrounded by shadeless concrete, overly chlorinated, possibly contaminated with toddler pee, and overrun with screaming tweens plus that one kid who goes swimming in cut-off jeans. Charge me seventy-five cents to get in, and make me bring my own deck chair and snacks. I'll love you for it, because I'm easy, and not just because you're like a mile from my apartment. Today was 90-plus degrees and sunny. Some people retreated indoors, camping out in movie theaters or hiding in their homes to do sexual things with ice cubes. I disdain such shrinking violets, and prefer to embrace the swelter with a book, a big bottle of water, shades, tunes, and a swimming pool five steps away. Get wet, take a few laps, and be cool for half an hour of reading, easy. Rinse, repeat. Pause occasionally to take in the scene, and take note of potential cannonballers who'll splash water all over your reading material. There's shade against the locker rooms if you are fish-belly white (like me) and a little set of sprinklers over by the shallow end. Remember your sunscreen!
