Maybe once the sun warms the water a tad more I'll come by for a late night swim on a night when the pool stays open until 10pm. 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. I will be thinking of her and her secret box of wine every time I check in. This one's for you, Kelly G.

Thanks to Libby F. I have been to this pool twice. I stand to receive two more invites this summer…read more It is a great pool. 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!

Our daughters have been on the swim team for 5 years and it is truly the center of our summer experience. The coaches are wonderful, the older kids on the team set a wonderful example for the younger ones and it's been a great way to get to know our neighbors. We highly recommend this pool and community!

This is a beautiful facility but the women's locker rooms need improvement. The ventilation is…read moreterrible - there doesn't appear to be dehumidifiers or ventilation at all, or even just floor fans - so getting dressed is like getting dressed in a sauna. Have you ever tried getting dressed and putting on makeup in a literal sauna? Not easy. Plus, there's no swimsuit spinner so you can't get the excess water out of your suit, and there are no hair dryers, so people try to use the hand dryers instead. Seriously?

The staff was very nice and there were plenty of lifeguards keeping close watch. The outdoor pool area consisted of - Large pool section that went from 3+ feet to 5 feet - 13 foot area with a diving board - Lazy river - 2 water slides About 40% of the area where you can sit is shaded (either trees or a canopy). I can tell that people came early to snag those spots. It's a very nice and well maintained facility. One thing to be aware of is that there is no re-entry. So make sure you bring everything from the car you need the first time. There is plenty of parking. Overall we had a great time and next time we will go closer to the time they open to get a shady spot.

You cannot find it anywhere else and the pool is amazing. I wish that it was open now, but of course it's fall so and then the tennis courts are really well-maintained.

They also have many different areas for the kids the basketball court and also there are games internally that are just again truly interacting and engaged the brain for the children and for adults as well

What a treat to find this beautiful rooftop pool 4 blocks from the capitol. The Liaison hotel is…read moregreat but the pool and bar 10 floors up make it even better. It's a nice size pool with many seating options all the way around. There are several areas with chaise lounges, umbrellas and tables, there are 4 cabanas to rent and many poolside lounge chairs. There is a bar with drinks and food options that opens at noon. The water is crystal clear and not over chlorinated. Water is a perfect temp to cool down in. It is open to the sky without building interference. Music in the background and a leafy fence to make the air conditioners invisible. There is a bit of noise from those on one end but not unbearable. There are also a few poolside games like bags, large Jenga and a sort of bucket toss. One downside is the lack of outlets and no hotel WiFi. Would recommend if you have some down time!

Wednesday night they had a swim meet. It was loud and exciting but the pool was still open for swimming. This was great! It had been a very hot day! I could not swim any laps but I did my best going wall to wall in the main pool. They are also shooting 2 spouts of water out across the pool now. The kid's love it. I found them to be a little bit cooler than the main pool though! Until next time be kind to each other. @yelpdc #connecticutbelairswimclub
