    Overall, far less than impressed. It's a new-ish facility but already showing its wear and built…read moresmaller than its current capacities dictate which planners should have realized when it was planned. The dive well has only 1m boards and a 3m could have been included, but wasn't. Locker rooms are absolutely tiny. I've been to an aquatics center in Lewisburg, West Virginia which is a town about the size of Lake City or smaller that pool is better than Cecil and is about the same size. For Jax-area, this needs to be much larger. Then there is my personal experience. I called ahead to ask if I could practice water polo here and the lady on the phone said, sure, of course. I show up with my polo ball and another girl is like "no, you can't take that ball in the pool". I explained other staff said I could and this was standard practice for water polo. She said "the other person must not have known what water polo was and that it involved balls". Sorry, you should not work at an aquatic center if you don't know what water polo is, period. Train your staff, Cecil. Also, face masks for underwater swimming which cover the nose are not allowed--these are standard training gear for swimmers. The lifeguard didn't know why and agreed the rule is stupid but said that's the rule. I'm a licensed USA Diving coach. I'm also very versed in high school and collegiate swimming and water polo. I also happen to run a youth sports program at another institution and per all this I can validly say the rules here and lack of staff training/knowledge are pathetic and far below national or World Aquatics or even FHSAA standards. Get it together, people. I gave two instead of one star because the pool itself is alright for lap swimming at the least.

    I live on the westside and was looking somewhere for my nephew to take swim lessons while he stayed…read morewith me this summer. He had some a few years ago but needed a refresher now that he is older. I signed him up for two weeks of lessons. A total of 8 lessons for just over $60. This was a great price! I was able to pick evening lessons which was good for my schedule. By the end of the first week, he has learned the freestyle and back stroke and was very excited to go each day. The facility is nice, the pool is well maintained and my nephew was super excited for the diving boards. They have changing rooms so that he was able to change each evening before leaving. The coaches were great and very patient. I like how they ended up with about 4-5 students per coach which was great. My only issue was that out of the 8 days, three days ended up being postponed due to rain. I am sure they have their reasonings but I didn't quite get it as the pool is indoors but maybe it's because it's in a metal covering? I don't know but that was just a tad frustrating, also we were called about 25 minutes before lessons started when we had already left to get there on time. Either way, I would sign him up again if needed and the facility is better than I anticipated. I do wish there was some more airflow inside as well as it did get very warm while parents sat through lessons and even some jokes were made as the male parents were able to remove shirts for some relief but women could not! It was super warm!

    Had a great time at a work golf outing in January. Nice and cool weather but not too cool. Got a…read morecoffee from the cart woman. Then she ran out so I couldn't buy coffee's for my foursome. Oh well, they'll have energy drinks, hah. After leaving a bunch of balls in the water we headed back in the clubhouse for late lunch and drinks. I was doing dry January so it was Gatorade followed by shots of pickle juice for me. I just learned that the land here was once a settlement of Mocama people. After them Don Juan McQueen had a slave plantation here. When you are on the course along the marsh, it is cool to think of how historical this land is and the people who once lived here thousands of years ago.

    The Queens Harbor Country Club is (clearly) a part of the expansive private neighborhood of Queens…read moreHarbor off of Atlantic Blvd. I have been here several times through out the years and it is always beautiful and clean. There is a gym with tennis courts, a pool, and a soccer field near the front of the community. There is practically anything you could ever need in the gym and I think it is a great recreational facility. There is also a clubhouse that has its own pool. The clubhouse is great for private events since it has a wonderful view of the golf-course. I've personally attended several college and graduation events here and was always impressed. The golf course is lovely and lush. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery. One of my favorite holes looks out over the inter coastal. Overall a lovely place to live and hangout!
