Julius Boehm Pool is a well-loved community resource that offers a safe and friendly environment for swimmers of all ages. The facility features spacious pools with a maximum of five kids per lane, making it suitable for both children and adults. They provide a variety of programs, including swim lessons that are tailored to skill level rather than age, with regular assessments to track progress. The pool is known for its helpful and kind staff, as well as their strong presence of lifeguards, ensuring a safe experience. The public swim times are open to everyone, making it accessible for families and individuals. While the pool is a bit older and parking can be limited, visitors find it reasonably priced and worth the trip, despite occasional traffic in downtown Issaquah. On busy days, the pool can be crowded, especially in the kids’ area, and the showers sometimes have cold water, but overall, visitors enjoy the facility and appreciate its community focus. Many are eager to return for more swimming and lessons.
My son was assessed before I signed him up for lessons. He was evaluated every 4 lessons to determine whether he could advance to the next level, with a report card to track his progress. The assessment wasn't based on his age but rather on his skill level. Spacious. 5 kids max in one lane.
