There is an area for kids (as you can see, the giant mushroom fountain), so the deeper water is not over crowed with annoying screams and kids as kids play tag in the pool. Two low diving boards, and 2 small-but-fast slides keep the kids occupied. There is a good amount of grass surrounding the pool, but you have to supply your own chairs/blanket. In these last hot - very hot - days, the cold water is all I really want, and care, about. It costs $6/day for an adult. This neighborhood pool is great for the hot, lazy days of summer!

This is one of our favorite pools to visit! One of the biggest reasons is because it's never…read morepacked. In fact, there have been plenty of times we've gone when there were only a handful of other people there. They've done lots of updates and have a nice shaded area for those who prefer it. The pool has a graduated edge at the shallow end which is super nice for the kids. It also has the mushroom shaped fountain that my kids love although it was off for maintenance the last time we went. There are two small slides and they are perfect for both the littler kids and the big ones. They go fast but they're very short and parents can catch the little ones at the bottom. The pool isn't heated so it can be super cold if it's not a hot day but we like it. There are two diving boards and lifeguards throughout all areas of the pool. The price is great at around $6-7 per person with kids 3 and under being free. They allow floats/rafts as long as they're not outrageously sized which makes it fun as most pools do not allow this. I don't believe they have a concession stand...maybe they do and it was closed or maybe I've been too focused elsewhere. Who knows. I've never noticed one so do with that what you will. The bathrooms are clean and have showers/changing space. Parking is ample and shaded in most areas. The only downside to this pool is that they have had zero lounge chairs or seating of any type. We usually just bring a beach blanket and call it a day. Works for us! I was told they would have chairs this year so maybe by now they do. Worth checking out either way. Highly recommend a visit if you're looking to swim with little ones or big kids and don't want a ridiculously crowded pool. Schaffner's is right down the street and makes for a great after-swimming treat! They have thee BEST ice cream and have a drive thru, indoor seating and a nice, newly built patio for outdoor dining. They have a lot more than ice cream and it's all really good. Enjoy!

He had headphones in the whole time and was on his phone every time I saw him. I want my $60 back. When I go to a pool I expect attentive guards that at least LOOK like they know what to do. If you have young kids DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I highly recommend you spend your money and time at another pool like Pickerington or Canal where they will actually do their jobs.

I'm subtracting 4 stars for the busted speaker systems blasting (Sunny 95) off station full of STATIC. This static noise is unescapable because several speakers are mounted throughout the area.

This would have been a perfect pool party if it wasn't for the NOISE POLLUTION BLASTING OUT OF SEVERAL SPEAKERS. FIX IT OR TURN IT OFF.

Prices compare well to other community pools. This one has a very family friendly atmosphere.

The drawback of the pool is that there is debris after a storm. Diving blocks could be installed by the lap lanes for swimmers to practice their starts for races. The locker room has a bad odor. In order to be up to date, the club could be remodeled. The facility is a nice place to spend a summer day at, especially when it's warm and sunny. It's a perfect place to lay down and relax or be in the pool and swim or play games and have fun. The employees are very affable. The attire the lifeguards wear is first rate. The food at the concession is pretty good. I've eaten lunch here a few times. The hamburger is delicious. At the eating area, it's nice that a TV monitor is there. If you're not in the mood to read like many people do while sitting or don't like the music being played, you can relax and enjoy a television program on the monitor. Despite some drawbacks, the Northwest Swim Club is a fine place to spend a summer day at to relax and to swim.

They are great with the kids and I am impressed at how much my kids are learning. It is a little expensive, but most kids lessons are.

I have taken my son and daughter to Wendy's Gymnastics year-round for a few years now, so we have…read moreexperienced what they have to offer for 1-year-olds up through age 3 (almost 4). We take classes on a weekday evening, so my review is based on that experience. I've heard weekdays are much less busy. The space is fun, safe, engaging, and appropriate for young children to learn coordination, burn some energy, and practice their listening skills. The entire floor has springs beneath it for safety and they protect metal edges with pads. It's one large room, which accommodates lots of kids at once, creating a fun energy that can also be, at times, chaotic. If your kid feeds on party atmosphere, great. If not...it will be a good lesson for them in learning to cope with more craziness than they're used to. At the start of class, all the kiddos participate in a group warm-up. The tiniest gymnasts (like my little T) do a warm up with songs and a parachute, talking about parts of their body. The older toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary kids experience a more traditional warm-up with jumping, moving, stretching, and a bit of choreography. After that, they break into smaller groups by age and spend 10 minutes at each of 3 stations doing a routine. I can't help but think it's a bit like a dog agility course!! The kids listen and watch their teacher, then go through the paces. The teachers ensure safety and work with the kids through the more challenging obstacles. Part of why we travel across town to Wendy's is that our kids can do an activity at the same time even though they're different ages. It sure beats making 2 trips! The other is the quality equipment. I love the tiny soft balance beams, but also the opportunity they have to experience full-sized official equipment. There are 3 bars, a rope, 2 rings, a large trampoline, a tumble track, a pit of foam blocks, a trapeze, 3 balance beams, a vault, a pommel horse, and much more!
