What I mean is that some…read morefriends, who are members here, invited us to the pool when the weather was oh-so-much-more-delightful. It seems like Charlotte lacks nice public swimming pools, at least close to Center City. Therefore, I was excited to check out Charlotte Swim & Racquet Club. The pool area is all the things you'd want in a swimming opportunity - large, clean and plenty of amenities. Three cheers for the concession bar; not only is it shaded, but it's filled with options! Even though I was there during a holiday weekend, the staff was helpful and even a bit cheery. This was a huge feat considering how many excited children were running about. I didn't spend too much time checking out the courts, but from what I saw they looked very nicely kept. Here's hoping I get another invite to da club come summer!

Great Swimming pools for the entire family and lap pools for those of you who just want to swim (although getting a lap lane is nearly impossible) Basketball Court, Tennis, Indoor walking track, Yoga Rooms, Cycling, Rowing, beautiful Locker facilities, Personal Trainers listing at the front Desk. This is another one of those places with the exception of 1 or 2 ladies at the front, who have no customer service skills, no warm and fuzzies here, but eh, it is just to check in and move on. They have on site daycare (Not sure if it is open yet, Covid) and for a reasonable cost and no contracts.

I did address this with staff and when instructors would switch, it would happen again even more so than before. Very young children need this guiding but older elementary school kids self conscious of their bodies don't want hands on them the whole lesson-especially by a young male. I also felt they really didn't progress to the level they needed in a timely manner. I found the staff extremely defensive of feedback from parents. I don't care that you believe in your program. If a child is uncomfortable that speaks volumes.

Parking is abysmal leaving nearby yards as the overflow. I will be taking my money elsewhere.

Go slowly as there are no sidewalks and plenty of people out walking as well as the random deer or squirrel possible around the bends. The Racquet and Swim Club are tucked into a wooded area with 6 hard courts. The sun was a killer to one side of Court 5-6 when I played there, but what are you going to do? (Bring your shades and visor!) It's very quiet and makes for an enjoyable round of tennis. The clubhouse has a large rec room area and the bathrooms are easily accessible. I'm sure that the dues here are enough that they could update the clubhouse a bit, but it's functional. There is a small playground area in the woods and a shelter at the side of the main area of tennis courts. The pool was already closed, but is a fair size for the neighborhood. The members that we met were super nice (Thank you Elaine & Julie) and I hope I get to play here again.

We frequent Lifetime gyms whenever we travel as we like the consistent quality and classes provided by the gym. Overall, this is a very nice building and was on the larger side from the facilities that we are used to. They have both Pickleball and basketball courts. They also have the standard high-quality technogym equipment found in all of their locations. The steam and dry sauna area was on the smaller side from what I'm used to seeing, but they were very clean and well-maintained. The Lifetime café was also very clean and had plenty of space to sit down. Overall, wonderful experience and would definitely visit again in the future

John, it's a struggle to get to your classes, but - I always leave your classes feeling so much better. Thank You!

Membership Fees are completely reasonable and a great way to support the Charlotte Jewish Community. Work out staff are incredible non-judgmental, friendly and helpful. It appears Administration does not allow any "Ding Dongs" to work there. Everyone working there is helpful and pleasant.

Classes are one-on-one with children from 18 months on up learning to swim, dive, float and overall learn how to be safe and survive in water. The instructors are almost all young ladies who stay in the water with your child, taking through their paces. A very sweet bunch, all neatly groomed and personable. Our grandchildren LOVE their instructors and the instructors reciprocate. Instructors pride themselves as family extensions helping in this one particular area of leaning. There are changing rooms with showers and toilets and from there you hand off your child to their instructor for a 30 minute session. Then you and any other people with you go into an observation room where you can watch through the glass wall. When the session is over you reverse the process, picking up your child, showering, re-dressing and leaving. There is also a "toy room" with books, blocks and other child safe materials for self-entertainment while they are waiting. Very clean, efficient, friendly and professional operation. You will leave each time with a slightly damp, but happy child.

We drive over 40 minutes for his weekly lesson and it is worth every minute and penny!!
