I competed at the King County Aquatic Center (K-C-A-C) during high school as part of my school's…read moreGirls Water Polo team. The diving pool and main pool that we competed in were all deep. In Water Polo this means no rest during a game because there is no ground within reach to stand on. Games here were thoroughly taxing in terms of physical exertion. Bleachers/seating overlook the pool and are well-tiered so that one can see the action in the pool pretty easily and the athletes are not too far away. The locker rooms are a bit on the small size for how big the pool(s) are/facility is, but in my experience they have been well maintained. Water temperature here was kept lower than other pools I have competed at. Specifically the temperature hovered around 78-79 degrees Fahrenheit in the main pool, it was slightly warmer in the diving pool/dive tank. Most of the pools I have swam at have been kept at about 81-85 degrees Fahrenheit, so swimming and competing in the pools here meant moving fast to stay warm. I did turn black and blue I got so cold some times though. One perk of this was getting to crank the heat in the car on the way home to get warm again after the water polo games.

This facility is absolutely disgusting. My son brought pinworms home twice (1 1/2 years apart)…read more Each time was on break from school so there was no possibility he picked them up at school. The first time was on winter break and two weeks after he swam here we discovered them. Figured it was a fluke and was unlikely to happen again so I signed him up for swim camp during the summer of '25. Ridding your home of pinworms is extremely tiring and difficult to do. Needless to say it caused myself a tremendous amount of stress. The teens that work here obviously don't clean/sanitize the locker rooms etc. I was fortunate to get a refund for the remainder of the summer he didn't go. I will never bring my family back here again.

Color Me surprised when I saw that Waterbabies was offering a once a month free swim hour in the Kent rec catalog. So, we decided to give it a try. It's only about 16 minutes from my house so it's not too far to go. Getting there was not very tricky. I followed my GPS, which led me behind a bar at the far end of a business complex. Parking has always been easy to find, even a close spot near the door. We've been here three times since and my girls love going. To be honest, I love going too. But what sets it apart from other pools is that they have really awesome foam toys that I had never seen before, like a floating foam slide and a foam canoe that fits two. They also have lots of handheld toys, rings, and goggles to use. They have the larger pool, which is 4 ft throughout, and they have a smaller one by the door. My one gripe with using the local pool was that it was always a fight to get a shower afterwards...But not here. We've always been able to walk right into the changing room, shower with pleasantly hot water, and know that our belongings are safely stored in one of their lockers. One convenience feature I also saw was a pack and play available for moms with babies that need corralling. All of the staff is very nice, with even keel, reasonable energy. You don't get overtalked to, but everybody is informed in case you have questions. It's been a really great experience coming here and I hope they continue to offer this monthly family swim!

Update they made it right added a few stars…read more I had my daughter's birthday here. We weren't impressed by the lack of communication and how long it took to get a reply and book the party. It's nice you have the entire space for just your group and you can use all the water toys they have. Which is a ton of fun toys. The party space was a good size for the group of 12 kids but their wasn't a lot of extra chairs for the adults. I liked that we were allowed to tape decorations. You are responsible for setting up the whole room. The tables were all folded in the corner and chairs in stacks. The huge negative was the pizza package that was clearly stated on the website to include juice, water, plates, napkins, and forks... When we ordered it it wasn't mentioned they didn't include those anymore we found out a few minutes before the party was going to start! One of us had to run to the store to buy the needed things and missed half the swimming time for my daughter's birthday. If it was just me I don't know what I would have been able to do to get the needed supplies and watch my kids... If we had known none of those were included and it was only the pizza I could have bought and picked up the pizza for a lot cheaper since dominos is in the same complex as the pool. And I would have been prepared with the items we needed.

The shallow water pool was being shut down over an hour early due to swim lessons. This man watched my family and I get in the pool, didn't tell us, then blew his whistle and started telling people the pool was closing for swim lessons in the shallow pool. No swim lessons were even held in that pool during the time my family and I were there. The facility itself is disgusting. People eat in the women's locker room. There's always blood or poop all over the bathroom stall walls. Women bring their sons who are over the age of 5 in there as well and don't control them. So you have boys watching you change, and it's disgusting. The family locker room is even more disgusting. There's always pee all over the personal bathroom/showers. There's always pee all over the toilet and the floor. People throw toilet paper and paper towels all over the place, too. Someone even left their nasty fake eye lashes in the shower. The gym is gross, too. The wipe stations would be empty and people wouldn't clean up their equipment. People would also bring their children in there with them and let their children run around and play on equipment.
