Carson Westwood Aquatic Center

Only would a public pool in Mesa be closed on a Family day (sunday). I mean come on. Close on Tuesday or mid week. Let the local neighborhood enjoy what they’re tax dollar’s are paying for. OMG. Really closed on a Sunday in the summer.

How can you not love a good pool with a refreshing swim in the summertime in Arizona? I know I do!
I like to take advantage of the fact that there are an abundance of wonderful public pools throughout the valley, and this is one of them. It’s open to anyone, and the charge to come in is reasonable. Adults are $ 3.50, and kids are $ 1.75.
They have wonderful locker rooms here, with plenty of showers, changing rooms, and bathrooms for people to use. The pool area itself is quite nice, with the shallow entry like a beach feature, lap lanes, a small diving area and plenty of water features for kids and adults. They have one of those bucket things that tips water too! Even a water slide!!!
There’s covered areas for you to stay cool throughout the facility, and several lifeguards throughout the pool, playing close attention to those swimming. I wish they had a few more lawn chairs here, but most were taken by the time I got to the pool in the middle of the day.
I also grabbed a pamplet, and they offer swimming lessons all summer long if you have kids, along with a summer swim team as well. If I had kids, I would enroll them in something like this, for many reasons. For starters, kids need to learn to swim, and it promotes water safety, along with building confidence and keeps them in shape. I was a swimmer growing up, so I can speak from experience!
I also like supporting local services like this, as I feel like I get to be part of the community I live in. Its part of the city of Mesa, so its like going to the libary for me… but instead of books I trade up for water! LOL
People here are wonderfully nice, and I will gladly go again.
O, and congrats to me, this is review #400!!!
