I particularly enjoy lap swimming and appreciate the kind, supportive lifeguards (my favorite currently). In the past, my kids benefited from the swim lessons. The facility is well-managed, with a great gym, free weights, stretching area, and even ping-pong tables.

Great gym for the neighborhood. Outdoor swim pool great for lap swimming, but check out the aquatic class schedules. Gym equipment has good utilization rate and I can always find equipment available.
