An elevator is now available for the handicapped or people who need to be separated for this Coronavirus Pandemic. No long fence to move around to go to the bathroom or get icecream from the icecream truck. However, it looks like this pool might welcome back the icecream trucks, because I did not see the snack shop there. From where I was I saw the middle pool and the baby pool off in the distance. The life guard station was empty, but it looked more roomier than I remember as a kid. Membership and stuff are all online, but since I was in the neighborhood, I thought I would stop by and ask. While there, I discovered two of my sister's records had still yet to be beaten. My pathetic records were beaten with in a year. This was in the early 80's. My diving record was either beaten or I did not see if it was there. The high dive is still gone, but I will always remember jumping off it while it was there back in the 1980's. Would have liked to get a picture from where I entered the pool area, but I did not feel comfortable taking pictures of little kids in their bathing suits. "Guess there is a point I won't go beyond" to quote Hans from Enter The Dragon. Excellent pool and I love what the designer did with the place. Still, I do remember how the step use to have plants with spiders on each side of the stairs. Guess you don't have to worry about that anymore.

A great spot to cool off on hot summer days. They have a great swim club for kids/young adults. The…read moreproperty is beautiful and the pool facilities are great. What would make this club amazing is: 1) a bar and basic restaurant 2) a higher diving board Otherwise this place is incredible and a must for young families.

I love this place. I can't say enough good about it. I've spent every summer here for nearly twenty…read moreyears; my children have grown up here and I've made lifelong friends. It's been a place of constancy for my entire family. I love the history that lives here; that almost 70 years ago, the neighborhood dads came together and dug the pool themselves for the betterment of the community. And it continues to be a place that improves lives to this day.

Took my daughters (11 and 9) to this pool for the first time. It's tucked away in a neighborhood…read moreand has a decent amount of parking. There was a large lap pool, a smaller lap pool and a toddler pool. The larger lap pool ranged from 3 feet to 13 feet (there is a water slide in the 13 foot section). There were lots of available places to sit. There were chairs that you could take a place on the grassy area and fixed benches closer to the pool. The cost was $5 for kids and $7 for adults if you are Montgomery County residents ($20 otherwise). The large pool was really big and to our surprise there were not that many people there on the day we went. Overall a really great pool and would definitely come again.

Fairly new and clean facility but I was baffled at the design of the women's locker room, which I…read morefound to be overly spacious but completely devoid of things that are common at other swim facilities. There are no shower benches to set one's stuff down or stalls specifically dedicated to changing. As another reviewer mentioned, there is no swimsuit spinner, which is a major inconvenience. Not disability friendly for those with mobility issues.

I have been going to the aquatics center for a few days now, after originally checking it out when…read moreit first opened a couple of years ago. I haven't tried anything but the aquatic offerings thus far. I have been going during the weekday. The staff at the front desk are very friendly and helpful - I noticed they are also extremely patient with customers with hearing or mobility issues. A nice change of pace compared to almost every interaction you have in the greater DC area with a front desk person. Ladies locker room and toilets are pristine and in good condition. There are several lockers and benches, and for those with families they have a family locker room, which is great for families that need that option as well. Pool area is pristine, and the classes I have taken thus far the staff are friendly and energetic. If laps is more your style, they have several lap lanes. There is a kiddie pool area as well. Only thing missing is a bathing suit spinner machine (people tend to try using the hand dryer to dry their suit). Parking garage on Cameron is across the street and very convenient.

The spring board was closed so that sucked. I spent about 4 hours here trying to get a tan. The people that were laid out behind me unfortunately got their wallets and phones stolen.

I love that they have a zero-entry pool that is good for the kids, with a slide and kiddie pool, plus a nice playground. Parking is never a problem, and the pool areas never feel crowded. The snack bar is run by The Market on the Boulevard and has many options, but it has limited hours and is sometimes closed w/o explanation. The Wi-Fi throughout is nice, and they have a good tennis program. Our wait was 5 years to get in. They have nice events throughout the pool season. Our only complaint is we don't find it friendly; likely, we would know more families if our kids were on the swim team or attended camp.

Well their emphasis is on the "swim team" and a former swim team member that happens to be famous- have you heard? Oh, but that is why the pool is 82 degrees, which for most of us is cold. - Why is the pool closed daily from 4:30-6:30pm all summer? Again - swim team. Oh yeah - and sometimes weekends for swim meets and pep rallies - for swim team. - Wait - where are my neighbors? Yeah - not a local pool - a "swim and tennis club" - people from DC, Rockville,and as far as Germantown. Not the local kids from Cabin John - their parents tried the waitlist and gave up. Eight years remember? - Where are the kids? Why is the pool so boring and empty? You'll need a good answer because your kids will ask. Well "swim and tennis club" remember - they have plenty of members, they just don't use the pool. To quote my daughter "it's a nice pool with no one to have fun with."

I normally wouldn't review my condo's pool, but I wanted to pay homage to the irreplaceable Kelly G. She should be here with me right now.

Not kidney shaped like many condo pools but rectangular with a extra little piece of square on the end. This pool is the perfect pool to lounge away a lazy Sunday. Complete with deck chairs, chaise lounges, tables with umbrellas, and floatation devices. I've only been in the women's changing room but it's pretty nice. It has showers which is a nice touch for a pool at a condo where all members are within walking distance of their own home showers. There are lifeguards. And if some little kids jump in they sit in the high chairs. Thanks Libby F. For invitations to a pool that is as good as it gets!
