We don't access to our friend's pool this summer so we had to get creative!…read more We finally checked out Clunie Pool this week and went twice because we had such a great time. I wish I took pictures but I didn't. The shallow end starts at 3.5 ft and goes to 10.5 ft I believe. Everyone can go to 3.5 ft, but if you want to go to the deeper areas or diving board you have to do a test to earn a wristband. You swim (the short way) across the pool however you want, you just cannot touch the bottom of the pool. The pool is so clean and feels so fresh. My son I have a bet, we wonder how long it would take to fill up the entire pool with only one hose on full blast... What do you think?? The facilities are just OKAY - it is a large facility, it's is also older (our 82 year old Nonna has fond memories of using the diving board when she was a kid!) but it does the job. There is also a large very shallow pool area for toddlers and preschoolers!

But thankfully, there's a nice little cafeteria with affordable prices, okay for lunch or snacks. We'll definitely be back tomorrow! It's a great spot both for families with kids and for adults without children. There are slides, inflatable toys, and even an Olympic-size pool. There are plenty of lifeguards around, and one big plus for me: they play music! It really lifts the mood. We loved it!

Very affordable option for the whole family to have fun and swim. 5+ is $8 and you can pay an additional $3 to use the inflatable. Note: you need to swim without a life jacket in order to use the inflatable course. There is a snack bar but you can bring in your own food and drink, so long as it isn't the same food offered at the snack bar (pizza). No alcohol or glass containers. There is lots of lifeguards on duty so you can rest assured that your crew will be well looked after. There is a large 7ft lap pool, with diving boards, another up to 5' pool and the "lazy river" with an attached kiddie pool/play area.

In the early 1900s, Clarks Hole (also called Clarks Pool) was managed by the City of Auburn as a municipal swimming pool. Today, it is popular with Auburn locals for picnics and swim parties, especially on a hot days! No lifeguards. Please be careful!

I really liked this because it wasn't too busy and I could still enjoy the other tasks I had to do throughout the day. It was great to start my Sunday at Asha and the start of my week! I experienced restoration of my well being through water and heat at Asha. The soak was nourishing and relaxing. This was my first cold plunge experience and I really enjoyed it. I felt awake after! The sauna was great. It was my first time doing that too. It was soothing and my skin felt so great after this whole experience. The customer service is great when you check in and out. I wasn't the only newbie and it was wonderful to have the kind staff tell us about what to expect with the lockers, changing rooms and showers. There's parking in the lot by the building and street parking. Check out this bathhouse for a relaxing vibe! I cannot wait to go back.

Overall, a great experience. I was surprised at how busy it got during the middle of the week, and…read morethe space felt somewhat small for the number of people there. One thing I personally didn't love was that there wasn't a separate changing area/space for women and men, especially since the changing space itself felt a bit tight. Other than that, the staff was friendly and accommodating throughout the experience. My absolute favorite part was the salt lounge--what a beautiful and calming space to meditate and unwind. The lounge chairs/recliners were incredibly comfortable, whether you wanted to sit or fully lay down. I also got a massage, which was lovely and added to the overall relaxing experience.

I love this place and so do my kids. I do wish that they had more shaded seating for families…read morebecause this place gets packed and there is no where to sit. Maybe suggesting benches along the sides or in the lawn. The kids activity pool is always getting shut down and it sucks because these babies are making #2 accidents OFTEN. This isn't the facilities fault, but really parents should allow kids time in between to go potty to prevent the constant closure of the activity pool (if they can).

My daughter took some summer swim lessons here last year and we had a bad experience. I thought she…read morewas safe being that there are so many lifeguards on duty but I was wrong. I never take my eyes off my kids in the water no matter who is teaching them and I'm thankful! My daughter was practicing her little kicks while holding on to the wall but at one point she let go and was too far from the wall to get back to it. I waited to see that her teacher would notice but they didn't. The lifeguard was right in front of her and they didn't notice that she was going under and couldn't come back up. She was a beginner, unable to reach the bottom and the class was a group class for reference. I stood up and ran to my daughter to help her get back to the wall and the life guard shouted, "No running." I looked at him and said, "Then do your job!" I was livid. Nobody apologized for their negligence. Some lifeguards seem to just be there, not to keep the kids safe. I wouldn't recommend the classes at all. I didn't want this experience to hinder her desire to learn so I talked it over and she decided to face her fear after knowing I would ALWAYS be watching and keeping her safe. We finished the week and then went to an actual swim school for lessons and she's thriving. The fun part of this complex is definitely the kids water playground and the slides. I'd recommend this over the swim classes any day.

Sequoians is an inclusive body-positive space for all ages, genders, and body types (including…read morepost-surgery or modified bodies)! It's an overall pretty chill space with a clubhouse, bocce ball, hiking, and pool/hot tub. It's member-only, and the community is tight-knit and welcoming. We have been members for the last year, and my girls (9,7,5) love going. They are treated with incredible love and respect by all the members and there are currently several families with kids, ranging from 5-14 years old. Yes, it's naked. Yes, you will see naked people. Yes, you will be naked! Kids under 18 do not have to be naked if they don't want to, but adults are expected to be clothes-free most of the time. Let me tell you why Sequoians is walking the walk on inclusivity, and why it isn't creepy. 1) Creepiness is gross and bad for all ages; sexualizing kids is wrong, full stop. 2) Creepiness is bad for business! Getting accused of improper activities is bad for business! Sequoians, and nudists in general, have a vested interest in keeping their spaces safe for everyone. 3) Inclusivity is more fun! More people can be included and feel safe, and that feels good. Therefore: Sequoians makes a big deal of vetting potential members, and everyone is educated about body positivity and etiquette. You see consent engagements in real life, in terms of playing with the kids, hanging out in shared spaces, keeping spaces clean, and working together for the benefit of everyone. Everytime we do out there, my kids say "ohhhhh we love it here!" and I do too. If you are interested in learning more, please read the website. And come visit!

Perfect, relaxing, fun, members for 14 years. Come join us and will see why we love this place.read more
