Five stars! Highly recommended!…read moreAny free City pool with great hours that opens on the weekends and evenings during this pandemic is a great pool to have in our great community. It's a smaller pool with five lanes and only 25 yards each way, but the awesome staff (lifeguards) who try to squeeze in extra swimmers after ones that finish early are quite excellent in my book. The Salt Lake pool is too stringent with their limited hours and strict one person per lane per hour rules. Unlike them, this pool is really flexible and still abides by the COVID-19 rules. The outside shower heads are a bit stubby and can't get your entire body in it, but who's complaining. The parking is very limited though on-site, but there is street parking available. Other than that, that's about it. If you really want a good swim with great hours, highly recommend to come to this pool!

Summer swim lessons: Enrolled my daughter in swim lessons…read morelevel 4 for the summer. She grew up in the pool, has been swimming since she was 6 weeks old. She surfs, she swims and dives with confidence. We have a boat and are in the open ocean frequently. I enrolled her in YMCA swim lessons level 4 to fine tune technical swim strokes. My experience-she was one of 2 students. She finished and was assessed yesterday and was marked as not meeting any benchmarks to level up to the next class. Problem with student? Or problem with instructor. I witnessed a lot of supervised play, sharks and minnows, cannon balls..$300 for 6 sessions. I don't and won't recommend or refer. Kids teaching kids.

I'm an avid swimmer - for exercise and for recreation. However, since the advent of COVID-19, the…read moreswimming opportunities have been scarce at the Nuuanu branch of the YMCA (where I'm a member and where I normally do my swimming workouts). When times are available, they are limited to a mere 50 minutes and require reservations in advance. Frustrated, but accepting of the situation, I resigned myself to swim as much as I could in 50 minutes and accept any reservation times I could secure. The other day, I was walking my doodle with my wife and children through Pauoa Valley. When passing by Booth Park, I noticed that there was a schedule for lap swimming at the pool. Heck, I didn't know lap swimming was available at a community pool. Curious, I walked up to ask if there were open swim times. I was greeted and informed that there are 5 lanes and it's first-come-first-served availability at the listed times. WOW! Today, Sunday, since the Y is closed, I figured there's no time like the present to try out my new find. I headed over and, low and behold, I was able to immediately start my swim and I was able to get my ENTIRE pre-COVID workout in. I'm stoked! The lifeguards are helpful and friendly. The pool was clean and refreshingly cool. I look forward to spending more time here making my shoulders ache.

It's really difficult to get time slots for the lessons. They will tell you the date when registration opens and you have to be online at midnight in order to get a spot. Fortunately once you are in, you can keep the spot for the following sessions. Lessons are only 15 minutes, which I doubted at first. But turns out that is just the right amount of time for a 6 yo! And when the kids get older, you can book 2 sessions back to back, totaling 30 minutes. Our two boys love their instructor, Conner. He's serious, gets right down to business, and works hard with them to really perfect their strokes. We're very pleased.

There's a pool near the front that's not just a kiddie pool. There's a ramp and not just stairs at the entrance (good for handicap/stroller accessibility). Unfortunately they closed the snack bar (used to be my favorite place to get gummy snacks after practice). I heard the tennis courts now have a surface that is squishy and unlike regular courts which is not too good. But other than that, it's just as I remember! The parking lot is pretty beat up and today had lots of pooling water in potholes. At least the parking is free!
