Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive right when gates open at 11:00 AM on weekdays for the most space and least crowded pool time, especially during July and August
- 2.Sign up for swimming lessons early in the season as spots fill quickly - they're a highlight of the club and highly rated by local families
- 3.Bring plenty of sunscreen and consider a pop-up shade tent for younger kids, as seating in shaded areas goes fast on busy weekend afternoons
- 4.Pack water shoes for little ones as pool decks can get hot during peak afternoon sun
- 5.Weekday evenings after 6:00 PM offer a more relaxed atmosphere with beautiful sunset swimming
Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings between 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM offer the best experience for families with young children, before afternoon crowds arrive. Weekend mornings are also pleasant, though the pool gets busier after lunch. Avoid Saturday and Sunday afternoons (2:00-5:00 PM) during peak summer if you prefer more space.
