Plano has some amazing recreation centers. Even though I don't live in Plano, I make the effort to…read moredrive there once a week now to go swimming. They have several recreation centers with indoor pools. The one at Oak Point is the closest to me, so go here even though my membership is good at all of Plano's recreation centers. The first time I tried this out, I bought a one month pass for $33. That's the cost if you are not a resident of Plano. After enjoying my weekly experience swimming here, I decided to invest in an annual membership. It's over $200 for non-residents, but since my city doesn't have an indoor pool available year round for residents, this is my only option. This is an olympic sized pool, but the lap lanes are lined for the short course of 25 yards instead of the long course of 50 yards. Thank goodness because I'm horribly out of shape. I love that when I come, I can usually split the lane with someone. It's rarely crowded, and plenty of people are lucky enough to get a lane to themselves. There is usually a lane reserved for water walking. Sometimes there are other activities that take place and many of the lanes are closed for reserved groups like swim team or water aerobics classes. This pool also features a deep end with a diving board. On the other side, there is a jungle gym obstacle course pool area. Off to the side is a shallow toddler pool. Outside there are two more pools! One of the outside pools has a shore entrance and periodically a horn sounds to let you know that some wave action is about to start. The two outdoor pools are popular with kids and families. During the summer months, the outdoor pools are open every day. After Labor Day, I think they are only open on the weekends. My membership allows me access to other Plano recreational facilities. Also, there is a gym inside Oak Point with free weights, weight machines, and cardio equipment like treadmills. I haven't even been into the gym yet. Not sure I ever will. I'm just so happy to be able to swim year around in the indoor pool.

One thing I really like is that the gym overlooks the pool, so if I ever wanted to work out while keeping an eye on the kids, I easily could. The gym itself is on the smaller side, but don't let that fool you. It has everything I've needed, the equipment is in great shape, and I've never had an issue finding an open machine. I've gone at different times of the day, and even when it's a little busier, I still don't have to wait long for equipment. I actually prefer this over the bigger gyms. It's a more relaxed environment, and I never feel intimidated or like I'm being judged. It's also kept really clean, there's always someone around if you have a question, and I appreciate the little things like the cubbies for your belongings and the scale to track your progress. They also offer a variety of fitness classes, and while I haven't taken one yet, I already have the schedule hanging on my refrigerator because I definitely plan to. Whether you're looking for a place to work out, take the kids swimming, or do both at the same time, this is a great spot. I'm really glad I found it.

They are so great with the kids and it frees me up to lift, play pickleball, or participate in a class. They will watch your child for up to 2.5 hours which should be more than enough time for a workout and shower. Additionally, kids can participate in fun activities like rock climbing, ballet, hip hop dancing, and martial arts while you work out. The thing that really drove home the value for me was the parents night out. Every week they will watch your children for 3 hours on Friday or Saturday night. On the pickleball front, it's hard to beat having 6 indoor courts, which are relatively easy to book - all at a cost of membership that is comparable to pickleball clubs.
