This is a city pool, part of the Parks & Rec department in St. Pete. It has 25 yard lanes, a twisty…read moreslide tube area, and a low and high dive. There is also a large baby pool area. Public swimming is from 1-4 p.m. and the rest of the time is devoted to swimming lessons, swim team, and masters swimming. There are mens and ladies changing rooms available. They sell ice cream from the office and have vending machines for gatorade, water, and snacks. There are two covered areas for spectators with a few picnic tables. My kids love this pool because of the high-dive. There is no lap swimming available during public swim, due to the diving well and tube slide areas being roped off.

Special shout out to Morgan, Stacy, Lorenzo, and Mia, who make the experience feel like they actually care about everyone who walks through the doors. The workout classes, the gym, the kids zone, the pool, and the facilities are such a great value for what you pay. The YMCA is great for me to work throughout the day in between working out and also for my kids to have fun in the kids zone and summer camps! Each day, I'm finding out something new about this location that I didn't know and absolutely love it!

Overall, a very nice public pool. I'm both a platform/springboard diver (and play some water polo)…read moreand an architectural historian, so I have a bunch of things to say here. I'm not sure when the pool was built but in the early 1970s sounds like from what I was told there, making it a full decade newer than I presumed based on the architecture. But what architecture it is! That façade--you just don't get public architecture for mundane things like parks and rec very often anymore. Despite the mid-century modern understatement, it still has something to say and I wish we'd see more of that today. People have commented on the restrooms/locker rooms. Personally, I was not bothered that the men's locker room was showing its age. It still worked fine. What surprised me was the individual shower stalls instead of a gang shower given its date of construction. And I think the whole men's locker room likely is original and without major updates beyond minor fixtures like soap dispensers. For a public facility at this time of construction to have individual stalls would have been considered a bit of luxury. The current state of the mens' locker room is no worse than many pools I've been to for diving and better than the much newer Cecil Aquatic Center in Jacksonville. The dive well: There's a 1m and a 3m board, which is nice. Both are older but in fine shape. The dive well itself is 14ft but tapers off away from the boards to around 6ft. It's safe, but trying to get a dive a good ways out I was concerned by how it looked from the 3m I'd hit bottom but didn't. It's just a visual illusion and I'm used to pools 16ft deep in their dive wells, too. The dive well is located centerline in the pool between swim lanes, which is cool. All the lifeguards and staff I spoke with were awesome and endured my nerdy questions about the history of their facility. Besides open swim, they have a great program seems of water polo, artistic swimming, and other things going on keeping the facility busy. Overall, I highly recommend!

I've been coming to this gym for years, and I want to start with what keeps me showing…read moreup--Tiffany's Total Body Fit class on Sundays. She is absolutely fantastic!! I've been attending her classes consistently for the past 4 years, and no one else compares. I've tried other trainers and always walk away a bit disappointed. Tiffany delivers every single time. Her routines are top-notch--thoughtfully designed to hit all major muscle groups while incorporating cardio in a way that's both challenging and energizing. She never misses, brings great energy, and I genuinely look forward to her class every Sunday. I feel it when I miss! Honestly, I wish she offered more sessions... and I'd love to know--what happened to her spin classes?? Now for the hard part... Unfortunately, the facility she's forced to teach in has been in disrepair for far too long--going on about two years. The ceiling leaks, which has caused the floor to warp, and there are orange cones marking unusable areas. On top of that, the air conditioning is unreliable, and the room can get uncomfortably hot--especially during an intense workout. This brings to mind the "broken window" concept--the idea that when small issues are left unaddressed, it signals a lack of care and attention, which often leads to bigger problems. When a business allows visible maintenance issues to persist, it sends a message--not just about the space, but about standards and priorities. It's disappointing because there are truly great instructors here like Tiffany who deserve a facility that matches the quality they bring every single week. Fix the space. Support your trainers. Your members will notice--and appreciate it.

Well, I've been a devoted member for several years now, and as the sayin' goes "all good things…read moremust come to an end!" To be honest, I've purposely kept coming here because of the staff (Doug, Shane, and Zach) that really do the best they can and take pride in their work and it shows. It's clear now that the primary owners don't care about keeping this place in great shape. They don't care about upgrading the WiFi, or replacing one of the big fans (especially when it's the first one that you see when you walk into the place), or replacing old and outdated equipment, or old and outdated carpeting, or toilets that barely flush. Sadly, when the fan does stop working it gives you the chance to see how much caked-on dust has accumulated on it. (This has since been corrected as a result of a survey that I filled out that "got noticed.") With the recent opening of other gyms in the immediate area, it's time to take my business elsewhere.. If this place ever changes ownership and gets a much-needed refresh then I'll certainly come back to give it another try. Until then, I went ahead and canceled my membership at this place.

Great facility with great people and has everything you could need for a solid workout regimen!read more
