Very hard to accomplish when you have a baby and older children or multiple children! Good luck with that one! They do not allow goggles that cover the nose because it " promotes breath holding".....

Also for $5 (regardless whether a town resident or not) per person, this is a great deal! At 5 years old with a life jacket, my daughter had a great opportunity to go in the deep end starting at 7 feet to 13 feet on the pool. The 2 lifeguards were in the pool to help any swimmers for eggs or any assistance in the water. The staff to exchange the eggs for prizes were also attentive to the guests and answer any questions i have. Swimmers are allowed to collect 15 eggs total. I didnt mind my daughter wanted to leave in 15 minutes of starting this eveny because we live about 16 miles away and we were there earlier for open swim for 2 1/2 hours. Defintely Facebook picture worthy, of course not for helicopter parents. The indoor pool and restroom were a bit drafty and i may have left this facility with a cold in the works.

A holy-grail destination for summer days with kids. They have a lazy river full of innertubes, and giant 2.5 foot deep pool with a play structure and various splashing items, plus a splash pad, and a junk food concession. It is neither a real swimming pool nor a water park. Not a real swimming pool because the deepest part of the pool is 2.5 feet deep. Not a water park because there's no actual waterslide, though there is a slide ... into the water -- if you grasp the distinction I'm making. But as a consequence this means that you can feel much more comfortable giving even young kids a decent amount of freedom (obviously not too much! be safe!) and generating the kind of wet, chlorinated, hot, happy, exhausted summer day that you may have grown up with as a kid. Chicago is a big city of rich amenities, so there are not a ton of things that I say are clearly worth a 45 minute drive from my house, but this is one of them.

As a board of directors, we are very appreciative when we receive feedback from members, guests or…read moreeven former members and want to thank you for your comments. In reviewing them, it is obvious that you have had some strong concerns about how things have occurred in the past and some of the previous communication about these situations. First and foremost we are a member-driven organization, but more than that we are a place where our members can come to enjoy their time with friends and family in a safe, relaxed and fun environment. At the "V" we consider ourselves more than a pool; it is really a place in the neighborhood where our member families can enjoy the summer! Just like any organization, we have some things that require maintenance like the pool, the grounds and our clubhouse. Over the past 2 years, we needed to put in place a "special assessment" that would allow us not only to improve the pool facilities, but to enhance the experience of our club through a renovated pool house, improved landscaping to our grounds and a clean and safe pool. I would encourage any existing, new or future members to come and see the architectural plans we will be executing on our pool house this year, they are remarkable! I think that you will find as although we have a focused improvement plan on the above areas, we also continue to focus on improving the overall experience for our member families. The "V" has a long standing reputation as a positive environment in our community and for our member families, we will continue to grow and foster this reputation. We realize that what we provide may not appeal to everyone but also know that the our communal grill area, scenic grounds, competitive swim team, social activities for both adults and kids, affordability and general fellowship do appeal to many families in our community. We look forward to Opening Day this year and hope that you'll consider joining us again!
