This review is specifically for the pool(s). The facilities are really good, although the changing…read moreroom/showers are fairly primitive. The salt water pools are both nice--a good sized lap pool and a warmer leisure for water walking and kid fun, as well as a river for floating and relaxing. There is also a giant water slide. The downside is the management of the pools, or lack thereof. Don't expect rules to be enforced, especially in summer, when the lifeguards are almost exclusively teenagers. Kids play in the lap lanes, which disappear with little regard to the schedule. I saw a child dive into the shallow end of the kids' pool and not one of the three lifeguards said anything or perhaps even noticed. Usually there's only one swim lane during aquafit, even if the class is sparsely attended. If you want equipment--water weights, for instance--you often have to hunt down someone to get them for you from a back room. Most gyms I've been to have that equipment readily available. During aquafit classes, the music is so loud that the people in the water often can't hear the instructor, and the instructors are already miked. The volume is headache-inducing at times. Additionally, the music itself is generally very bad. In the morning, it's the same hits of the 70s on a loop ("American Pie" every morning gets old quickly) and in the evenings it's even worse. Little effort seems to go into matching what people in the aquafit classes might enjoy--it's just typical aerobics music, with no imagination or common sense put into the song choice, given that the majority of the people in the classes are 65-plus. (Pre-1960 music actually had a beat--people jitterbugged to it!) I mention music because it's loud, there's no escaping it, and having contemporary country (for example) blaring in your ear isn't always what you want when you're trying to unwind after a long day.

Nice floor, I go here allot. Unfortunately, the owner and the manager are rude so avoid them. Other…read morethan that, is a good place to skate. I like their skate pass deals. Saves money if you skate allot.

We used to enjoy this skating rink but it has gone down hill. Rude staff, terrible food and all…read morethat...which could be somewhat overlooked because it is a nice rink. Today, I feel, was rock bottom and I will not return. The place is unsafe - overcrowded and zero staff on the floor. I picked up trash on the rink floor as well as someone's stopper that had come off. Unfortunately the day ended with me at the ER due to these unsafe conditions. I sacrificed myself to avoid a small child when another person hit me - ultimately smashing my face into the floor and causing about an inch long laceration on my chin. A fellow skaters stopped to help and abother lady went with me to the restroom to help control the bleeding. zero reaction from any staff - pardon the woman bleeding in the floor! I gathered my daughter and her 3 cousins that I had brought along with us, while clutching a blood soaked paper towel to my face. Still zero notice from any staff. The only time anyone working took notice of me was as I was walking out the door - I was approached by a young woman that wanted my personal inform to submit to their insurance. Thanks for nothing Lynden Skateway. I hope your policy doubles. Hopefully nobody slipped in my blood. What a disaster.
