    We love this aquatic center! The main pool is large and spacious so even when it's busy it doesn't seem crowded. There is a ton of shaded spots to sit. I am so happy they have cabana areas, picnic table areas under shade and other chair areas under shade. They have two slides my kids love and the little kiddie slide area is cute too. I love the large flip flops, perfect for a photo. It is $5 for kids and $7 for adults, the pool is mainly open 1-5pm. I do wish they would start taking payment earlier, they wait till exactly 1 pm, but the line did move quickly. They allow outside food and drink which is nice. They have nice showers, restrooms and lockers. They have life jackets available. They also have a lap pool that is an additional $1, but the hours are a little different for the lap pool. We will definitely be back to swim!

    I just wanted to go swimming... North Natomas gets everything while we have a perfectly good pool at Natomas High that's been shut down for over 10 years(thanks for the reputation)!! Not only that but the cashier didn't want to handle the cash... By federal law(https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm) you can't turn cash away, they just don't want to deal with it... Cashier was completely incompetent & untrained & even turned away a regular swimmer for lap swim. Saw multiple people try to get in. The site is rigged. No where does it say they can't take cash... Or that you have to pay online(see photo), which is what the cashier said. I read the city's website. Please train your cashiers better, we still deserve to use the facilities. It's our tax money too, feeling very discriminated against... I just wanted to go swimming!! Ugh. P.s. The apartments use the parking lot & the parking lot is getting dirtier with used floaties, & beer bottles. P.s.s. We even called the city! Lucy thanks(311)... super absolute huge help... Not really

    50 meter pool, not usually open to lap swimming

    North Natomas Aquatic Center is an absolutely beautiful facility that has two lap pools, an amazing kid's splash pad, and two water slides. It also has lockers and bathrooms. The facility is only a year old, and everything is absolutely immaculate. However, I feel like the hours/programs of the pool could be much better, and the facility is currently underutilized. There is a total of three lap swim times per day M-Th, two on Fr, and one on Sa (none on Sunday). These sessions are only an hour long, which is too short for many people's swimming programming, especially for triathletes. Also, the 50-meter pool was closed to open swim athletes (this was NOT notated on the website), and only three lanes of the 25-yard pool were open for lap swimming. All in all, "open lap swim" feels like an afterthought, so it didn't surprise me that there were not very many "open lap swim" swimmers there. This pool could much better swim the lap swimming community if "open lap swim" was offered in two-hour blocks (say, 6-8am, 10:30-12:30, and 6-8pm), and if both pools had lanes open for "open lap swim."

    A lot of potential but honestly not worth it. There is almost NO shade except for a handful of temporary tents which get claimed by people who line up at the entrance before it opens. How is this safe when the weather is over 100 degrees? There are very few chairs or places for people to sit or put their belongings. We arrived before opening on a Sunday and were only able to find a single chair for our family of 5 with absolutely no shade to even put it in. The bathrooms don't have soap dispensers or hand sanitize. The little kid slide is shut down for no apparent reason with no explanation of why or when it will reopen. We won't be returning

    Chillin' under one of the fountains in the pool!

    Very nice and new water park in Natomas! I think we might need a bigger one! Everyone from staff to lifeguard are nice and courteous, it was a great time in the heat! Recommend A+

    Nice relaxing day.

    Ask the Community - North Natomas Aquatics Complex

    Is this place really only open May through August, 4 months of the year?

    Is the lap pool heated in the fall and winter?

    Do they allow food/drinks to be brought in?

    I think outside food is allowed, but no glass whatsoever.

Parking in lot or street side, all free. Life Guards inforce the rules, have fun but be safe or get the whistle. Have the kids wading pool with a huge mushroom waterfall. Ages 7 and under and less than 4' 2". Middle pool is 3 1/2 feet to 4 1/2 feet. Diving pool is 10 to 12 feet deep. They alternate from diving board only to free jump/swim randomly. They have a rinse off before and after station at the entrance/exit. Also the restrooms are located here. Seating they have a few tables around and a bunch of benches, and a lot of grass section. Bring some towels and beach chairs grab some shade on the wicked hot sunny days. Few rules they inforce NO RUNNING - really don't, the concrete around the pools is wicked slippery, just walking after getting out i slipped 2x so be careful in wet areas. Swim Shirts - must be tucked in diving pool, so it doesn't have a chance to choke you out like in a hockey fight and get pulled over your head. No floatys aloud. Life vest must be certified by U.S. Coast Guard types #1, #2 or #3. If you were a vest your not aloud in the diving pool, to deep and if you can't swim or swim well you need to stay in the middle pool. The icecream truck or a icecream cyclist stops by randomly for a cool treat. This is one of many city of Sacramento run pools.

So I was a tad nervous my older son would be in a class with younger kids. Sea Turtles Class was a perfect class for my 9yr old. He's comfortable in the water, but just needs to know the fundamentals in different strokes. Starfish Class suits beginner swimmers. My 5yr old has tiny fear of putting his face under water... But the instructor was able to get him to do it within the first 5 mins!!!!! Each class had about 4-6 kids each. The Starfish class only had 2-3 kids!! Which I loved!! Basically a personal lesson for $35 (x3 a week) I look forward to the 2 weeks of swimming lessons for my boys. As I listen to the instructors, they are very calm, and patient to the students. They are clear, and don't rush their explanations. Very impressed Doyle Pool!

    So early last year I decided to make the jump from Planet Fitness to In-Shape Fitness in Natomas.I…read morewas ok with being a member at Planet Fitness but I reached a point where the amenities it was missing and that In-Shape offered were too much to ignore-so I made the switch and joined In-Shape. In-Shape is a pretty good gym-have many amenities,many classes,a lot of new equipment that I've seen them replace older machines with,this particular location is a multiple floor building and each floor has different areas for weights both free weights and machine weights.I would also say it never feels too overly crowded unless you get very unlucky and get there at the exact perfect moment.They have a dry sauna area and a steam sauna area-I heard but can't verify there is also a woman's only dry sauna in their locker room.There is also a full sized basketball court and racquet ball courts.They also have a rock climbing wall,they have multiple swimming pools,they have 2 massage chairs which are available for members to use.They have so many cardio machines-just about all types are available,from bikes to stair climbers to treadmills and others that I'm not so sure what they are called. All that being said,what I truly wanted to talk about was my favorite feature of this gym and that is the offerings of Pilates classes they have at this gym.They offer Pilates classes on Monday and Thursday evenings as well as 2 classes on Saturday mornings,which means a member could take up to 4 hours of Pilates a week if they were so inclined.This is part of your monthly membership-it's really great-not sure many other In-Shape locations offer so many Pilates classes at this time. On a personal note I would like to highlight one of the Pilates instructors Severine,she currently teaches the Monday and Thursday evening Pilates classes and let me just say she is wonderful.As a person who never took a Pilates class,I ended up signing up for her class after the encouragement of my wife who has taken her class for quite some time.I did so reluctantly thinking that as a 52 year old man, who doesn't know a thing about Pilates,it was going to be a horrifying experience.It was anything but,and that is all due to the wonderful instructor Severine.She went out of her way to make me,along with everyone else in the class feel so welcome,always offers lots of words of encouragement and plenty of tips to make the Pilates experience a better one.Her classes are always so fun,she generally goes out of her ways to make sure she knows the name of every single person who takes her class and always has a funny story to share with the class to make sure we dont get lost in the moment.She is the sole reason I have stuck to Pilates this long and the main reason I love being a member of this gym-she is a true asset to this location. In closing,if your in the market for a new gym experience I would without hesitation give this In-Shape location a shot-I feel you won't regret it.

Aside from this issue, I want to say that all of the employees have been very respectful, friendly, and welcoming, which I really appreciate.

You don't get consistent swim instructors, so your child won't learn very well, and it's very expensive at $27 per 30-minute session which includes a total of 4 kids (which means that your kid is doing nothing for about half the session). I signed my kid up for swim lessons. They canceled 3 weekly lessons in 4 weeks. Two times, they did not notify me the instructor wasn't showing up until AFTER the class was supposed to begin. Another time, they sent an email 30 minutes prior to the start of class AFTER I was already in my car driving to the class. This is unacceptable. The first couple times, they did not provide an excuse, but the most recent instance, they claimed the instructor was sick. I'm unsure if their instructors are so irresponsible that they routinely no-call, no-show for work or if their management is so poor at communication that they fail to notify their customers when a class will be canceled. I spoke to other parents at the classes, and they agreed that 1) this is very expensive, and 2) there's a lack of consistency in instructors, so their kids were not progressing. And, of course, when all is said and done, they're refusing to give me my money back for these canceled classes. They just tell me to reschedule my kid for another class at a different time; however, this does not work for me. The other times are in the middle of the day in the middle of the week, and I have a job to work.
