But anyway, I love this pool...my grandkids can't swim yet but they can go really far out & still touch bottom! I can literally sit down in the shallow end & play with them & relax. My son doesn't get in the water much, he just walks around talking to himself. No one's bothered him or anything. I also LOVE that they're open until 7 pm! I don't have to worry about getting them too early. We get there about 1:00 pm or so & have sooo much time! I'm sad that swimming season is almost over!

Landmark review: I have been here twice for birthday parties…read moreand this is not a bad park district pool. It has a nice splash pad zero depot pool with a slide at the opposite end. The kids seem to enjoy these birthday parties a lot. No one really checks the guest list when you host a private party. You also get access to the party room upstairs. All of this for 125 dollars which covers 2 hours and 15 guest. Given the low price I can see why lots of families host birthday parties at the pool.

I have to say that this was a wayyyy better location than ISU. The bleachers at ISU are so awkward and you're always crawling over and tripping over people. The Shirk center observing area is upstairs and goes around the pool. There was lots of room to stand and a few areas to sit down. It did get extremely congested and people refused to move, but still way better than the alternative. There was also a concession stand, vending machines and an ATM. The only downside was that it was extremely hot inside and I felt like I was getting heatstroke (even despite the fact that I prepared myself for the heat by wearing a tank top and skirt - I was still overly hot.) Sitting next to people that are also sweating isn't exactly an ideal situation, but I gladly endured the stench of sweat to see my sister swim.

Sholem provided the perfect spot for this morning's swim! While I can't speak to this facility during a busier time, I can speak to my experience in the pools earlier hours. I was able to walk up to their admission desk and, after talking briefly with the friendly desk worker, I paid my $6 to swim and headed into the locker room. During my swim, there was never more than 4 people in the pool and I was able to swim in one of their 3 lanes for most of my swim. Additionally, while the air was a little chilly this morning, the pool temperature was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed my swim and would recommend this spot to anyone looking. I also eyed a pretty awesome lazy river that I'd like to take a few laps through if I find myself itching to swim again before I head back to St. Louis!

Didn't try the lazy river-those things have a history of making people sick. Tons of fun splashy play type stuff for little kids.

Think twice before donating ANY money to this "non-profit". maybe the YMCA doesn't believe in being profitable because they don't have to worry about the bottom line. In addition, the turnover in their childcare area is puzzling. My child's 3 favorite young female employees were let go or quit. Be careful who is watching your children. What a sad, sad place.
