I was very disappointed with our experience at Webber's Natural Swimming Pool. My 8-year-old son…read moreand my other children are confident, experienced swimmers, yet we were repeatedly told they had to stay within arm's length of me at all times. To help the lifeguards feel more comfortable, I even put life jackets on my children, but it still wasn't enough. Throughout our visit, my kids weren't allowed to swim away from me and had to remain right next to me the entire time, which made it impossible for them to enjoy the pool. As we were leaving, I read the posted sign, which stated that children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent. Since my son is 8 years old, I questioned why this rule was being enforced on him. I was told the sign was a "typo," which was frustrating and confusing. If the posted rules are incorrect, they should be updated instead of expecting guests to follow rules that aren't clearly communicated. I also couldn't help but notice that my family appeared to be the only Muslim family there. I don't know whether that influenced how we were treated, but the experience left me feeling singled out. I hope management reviews how policies are communicated and applied so that all families are treated consistently and respectfully.

We had to follow our kids around the pool and they weren't allowed in middle of the pool due to me not getting in.

Because it is a biofiltered pool, the water isn't as clear as a chlorinated pool, but it still felt clean and well maintained. I came here with some friends the day before the Fourth of July and was surprised it wasn't as packed as it could've been! Some things to note: 1. Bags are inspected upon entry. 2. Outside food and beverages are not allowed (although I had a water bottle and they let it through). 3. There's no changing room onsite, but there's a bathroom that can be used for changing. 4. There's lots of lawn space to spread out. 5. While there's no parking lot, there's ample street parking. Definitely a place to add to the summer rotation :)

I love that they don't charge you joiners fee and you can buy your membership several different ways. You can pay for a day pass, punchcard (certain amount of times), or by the months increments (1,3,6,12). A day pass I think is only $5. They also have free nights for anyone who lives in Brooklyn center on Saturday evenings. You are able to use both the pool and the fitness room it's from 5pm to 7pm. I originally bought a 10 inch pass. I liked it so much. I'm planning to now getting a year membership. It's a lot less crowded than other gyms . At least in the evenings. I've never been there other times of the day. I haven't had chance to do the group fitness yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it. I'm also planning to sign up for some swim lessons this year. I would love to learn this would be for summer.

This was my first visit for the purpose of volunteering at USA Swimming Junior National Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors. There is a nearby parking garage and very limited surface spaces. The area around the pool was clean. The building although dated to possibly the 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is the competition pool used by the University of Minnesota Swim team. The facility is nicely maintained. However, faculty and students can use the pool. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition.. The spectator area is expansive and spans the entire length of both sides of the pool and well. The public locker room area is large and pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. Great facility and hope to return for another event in the near future.

This is a great center, until it's not. I go almost every single day. I've only ever had an issue twice. The problem is that they have almost no one to address issues. it could be as simple as asking patrons to follow the policy. member services apparently isn't allowed to do this. So, by the time a manager comes, the patrons violating the policy have caught on that you're complaining, and they run away. Then you're told, well they're gone now so....and if you don't accept their answer to basically deal with policy violations and move then why have the policy in the first place. You're even told to ignore those who were giving you a hard time and not following the rules and told "you could just go to another machine" I guess that's true if that wasn't my last one. I was then told, "well there's one other one on the third floor." Suddenly, it became a discussion of buts and should haves and not addressing my concern at all. It's so exhausting as a patron to be put down when I literally just wanted to use a machine when they were basically not using it and reserving it as a group. Only after it was escalated to higher up individuals (beyond - to reiterate - beyond the basic building manager - was my issue at least somewhat addressed. Again, almost always there is no issue, but when there is you won't get much help. I was berated, had eyes rolled at me, and other odd responses. What did they want me to do, escalate the situation with the patrons not allowing me to use an open machine? The reason I'm giving it one star is that this lack of basic support could be a safety issue at some point and demonstrates a weak infrastructure to enforce their own rules.

On the plus side, it is pretty big, so you can spread out, but that is also a bit scary as there can be a lot of kids in the water and you really work to stay on top of your kids to make sure they are safe and/or playing nice with others. They have some big waterpark-type slides but those were closed for some reason. The staff were really nice and gave us advice as to the best times to come to beat the crowds, etc. There is also free parking, but it is somewhat limited, so best to plan your visit accordingly.
