Exemplary of a premier athletic facility, the Jersey Aquatic Center provides a range of swimming…read morefacilities for children and adults of all ages. From the main, 10-lane, Olympic-sized competition pool to warm-up lap and training pools, there's a range of programs and facilities for a wide variety of skill levels. We visited recently for the Rebels Meters Mania swim meet, and one of the highlights was the digital scoreboard, which displayed each swimmer's name, lane and heat time. I was also amazed to see the meet livestreamed on the event's YouTube channel, which allowed for distant family members to watch our kids swim. The only downside was the ear-splitting dance music blared at the audience before and sometimes during the meet, which triggered my Apple Watch high-decibel alert. Attending a swim meet shouldn't put one's family at risk of hearing loss. Swim meets are naturally loud events, with concrete and water surfaces exhibiting maximum acoustic reflective properties, so there's little reason to add to that characteristic. Watch from the upstairs viewing rooms or bring ear protection, and consider keeping small children at home, in order to protect from the nightclub-like audio environment.

If you've ever imagined an oasis in the suburbs of New Jersey, where kids frolic on carefree summer…read moreafternoons in an aquatic wonderland just a stone's throw from home, this is it. Three pools -- one for tiny tots to wade in, one for bigger kids to splash in, and one Olympic-sized for adults to train in -- present a wealth of options for a full day of activities, in addition to which there is a diving tank with platforms up to approximately 30 feet, and two water slides, one open and one enclosed. A first-rate, snack bar keeps the munchies at bay if you've neglected to bring your own lunch or just didn't feel like packing one. Note, it's not the kind that offers artisanal twists on surf cuisine or anything fancy, just good, old-school summer treats, as well as burgers and the like. Memberships don't come cheap, although on a per-use basis, a summer pass could potentially mean your family of four can splash around all summer long for under $2 a day. Guests are welcome, although that comes at a slightly steeper cost. Nighttime entertainment also offers local adults a reason to come back after the kids have been sent off to sleep. The only possible thing missing is poolside cocktail service, although I'm fine with its omission since this is a family-friendly recreational establishment and not a singles pick-up scene. Our family gives it 10 thumbs up!

There's an Olympic-sized pool, although young swimmers use the 25-yard lanes that traverse pool instead of the full 100-yard length.

This is a place for moms to sit around and talk while their kids wander around in the water or getting into trouble elsewhere.. so if you are looking for that kind of place then come here.
