This is a relatively large clean pool. To become a member it's a reasonable price. I have one…read moremajor complaint though. They have "adult swim" for twenty minutes 4-5 times a day. During adult swim they close the mail pool, kiddie pool, and dive pool to anyone under 21 years old. What are all these kids supposed to do 80-100 minutes a day? It's honestly absurd. The kids pay to be members just as the adults do. It's not right to make them sit out.

I love it there and as far as Adult swim, any public pool closes for Adult swim.Even the most…read moreexpensive Beach Clubs have Adult swim.. Are you telling me that children are not capable of entertaining themselves for 20 minutes? Or is it the mothers who are being disturbed? My friends are actively involved with their children and don't use the life guards as Baby sitters. By the way, there are activities available for the children. I remember being out of the pool when I was a child and it was an opportunity to enjoy other amenities.

What a great summer my family had at the Holmdel Swim Club! The pools and the rest of the facility…read moreare impeccably clean. The swim club has so much to offer, swimming lessons, a swim team, a diving team, tennis lessons, and so much more. The recreation department does a fabulous job running this facility. My children loved the swimming and diving lessons they had and the instructors are highly competent. Definitely worth the membership fee, will join again next year.

I have been a member for over 25 years, beginning in Manasquan and then transitioning to Red Bank…read morein 2005. I visited Manasquan for the first time in several years today and I was shocked at the level of disrepair evident everywhere in the club. The men's locker room was particularly disappointing, and the showers were frankly unsanitary and covered in mold. What was once a lifestyle club with immaculate facilities is now substandard to the $29/month clubs. It's embarrassing to be a member of the Atlantic Club now.

Something's Gotta Change. This place used to be great--but…read moreit's falling apart. * Amenities? Barely hanging on. * Bathroom stalls? Broken. * Upstairs AC? One day a sauna, the next a freezer. Karen, the trainer in charge, means well but takes it too far--yelling at members and threatening to revoke memberships for working out with friends. The new owner, Genesis, isn't listening. The "new" equipment feels outdated, and the club's vibe is fading fast. The staff is kind--but they're stuck watching the place spiral down. We deserve better.

Highlands Natural Pool has definitely blown up on social media lately, which is what put it on my…read moreradar. While it's a nice enough spot and the setting is scenic, the pictures floating around don't quite tell the full story. Yes, it's spring-fed and chemical-free, which gives it more of a forest pond feel than a traditional pool. That might be a plus for some people, but there are downsides. The water feels heavier than a normal pool, and there's no true shallow end--so treading water for long stretches can get tiring. If you go, I'd honestly recommend bringing a float to hang out more comfortably in the water. The facilities are basic. There are very few pool chairs--mostly just park benches scattered around a small paved deck. Seating is limited, and it was hard to find a place to set up. I'd recommend bringing your own beach chair if you have one. There are plenty of picnic tables farther back from the pool, which I assume is their way of keeping food out of the swim area. We arrived around 3 PM and that timing was probably my biggest gripe. The parking lot was full, so we had to find a random lot down the road and then walk back and hunt for the entrance. Not the easiest arrival. The $20 day pass would be fine if the setup matched the price, but for what it is, it felt a little steep. Also worth noting--cell service is spotty, and while they say there's Wi-Fi, it didn't work well for us. Overall, it's not a bad experience, but it didn't quite live up to the online buzz. If you go in with the right expectations (and a float, a chair, and some patience), you'll probably enjoy it more than we did.

This is a great municipal pool! Spacious and doesn't feel too crowded even on busy days & holiday…read moreweekends when you can hardly find parking (though the parking lot is quite large). There are a few picnic tables and grills on the lawn. No pool lounge chairs or towel service so bring your own chairs, picnic blankets, food/snacks and other accoutrements to enjoy a leisurely summer day. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Very kids/toddler-friendly. The sizeable shallow end has several sprinklers/splash fountains for children to play in, and there are slides on both the kiddie and adult sides. Also a playground in the back (not affiliated with the pool). There are always many life guards on duty every time I've gone. The pool is accessible only to Clarkstown residents and their guests, so if you're not a resident befriend someone who is. You must obtain a Clarkstown resident ID card first at the registration office at 31 Zukor Road in New City. (The pool won't simply accept a driver's license.) Rates can be either daily or seasonal for individuals or family, and are very reasonable compared to similar community pools.

Back in the day we used to refer to this beleaguered mud hole as "Nanuet Snake" for the inundation…read moreof various slithering creatures who would join you on your swim in what was then a dark and unknowable crater that had more in common with Loch Ness than 20th century suburbia. It's no exaggeration that these monsters from the deep probably kept a legion of child psychiatrists in full time employment. On a recent visit it was nice to see that the previous snake-ridden den of iniquity has long been been replaced with a legitimate pool and that the mythological beasts of years past have been slayed by chlorine and actual cement walls. You can even see right to the bottom. What a concept. This is what Nanuet Lake should have been like all along... no thanks whatsoever to my parents who thought this was some tough love version of Shangri La, albeit minus the all consuming bliss one often finds in paradise. I kid about my parents (almost) and am happy to bestow five easy stars for a childhood reclaimed. I still hate snakes.

The Biosphere pool is an awesome facility with an indoor-outdoor jacuzzi and a natural looking pool…read morewith waterfalls and a grotto jacuzzi. It even has a waterslide. However, if you come on a weekday the waterslide is closed. The pool area is 5 stars on weekends. However, the bar/cafe opens late on weekdays. They don't permit you to bring any outside food or beverages in but they also don't sell any on weekdays. I asked if I could have room service bring food and drink to the pool and I was told no. So if you're looking to enjoy the pool and a drink, make sure to do it in a weekend.
