Kino Aquatic Center

I really like this facility. We mainly use this facility for their diving program. The pools here are always so clean, and the coaches are excellent. I wish that their shade structure were a bit larger though. During the summer months, some of the seating there can be quite unbearable due to the lack of shade.
It is a very small community pool compared to ones located in Chandler and Tempe.

Don’t even know where to begin… The Nazareth College Swimming and Diving team was here for 7 days and this facility was absolutely the best I have ever been to in my 8 years of diving. The pool is in a great location and the cleanness along with the quietness at this pool was amazing. The Swimming team had a blast and the Divers had fun as well. I loved the boards and they seemed well maintained and kept up with. The showers were great because they were connected under a tent where you could stand and get showered on with no wind reaching inside. The pool temperatures everyday were warm and felt great. I wouldn’t of wanted to dive at any other pool expect for this one during Training Trip. The staff was extremely friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. Right when we got to the pool on the first day one of the lifeguards came out and greeted us and welcomed the team to Arizona. I’ve been diving for over 8 years at many different pools for weeks at a time and no lifeguards have ever welcomed us or were so friendly. Overall a great experience. By being «committed to handwork and determination» I believe this facility will become a hot spot for other teams to visit during their Training Trip. Thank you so much for an unforgettable week!!!

Great pool! Clean, not over crowded, nice staff. My kids love the slide, walk in pool, and high dives. I like the ample shaded area.

I was here for a dive meet for my daughter. We heard a lot of bad things about the pool. We were presently surprised, the pool was a pretty good pool with lots of activities going on. We were a bit surprised to see it had a water slide.
The pool area and restrooms/​showers were clean and well kept. Parking lot is not large (it is the same one used by the middle school next door). There is plenty of available parking on nearby streets.

This aquatic complex in Mesa has a large pool with a water slide for families with kids, a diving area with two 1-​meter and two 3-​meter diving boards, and an Olympic-​size competition pool area. The pools are very clean and well maintained, as are the shower/​changing areas. I have experienced using this complex for competition and can say that this is complex is very well suited for serious swim meets, mainly because of the quality of the pools but also because of the presence of ample spectator areas and shade structures.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this pool so my kids and I drove by to see if they would want to check it out and they decided that they wanted to go. Upon seeing the big slide they were pretty much sold.
Admission seems to be on the higher end for the community pools in the area ($ 2 kids, $ 4 adult) but if you are planning to come frequently you can buy a pass and save some money (10 kids admissions or 5 adult admissions for $ 15). I initially wanted to buy a couple passes but since we hadn’t been here yet I decided to skip it and see how the kids liked it before dropping $ 30.
The facility is meticulously clean. When we entered the locker room the girls oohed and ahhed (they are impressed with restrooms. what can I say?). They have lockers but if you plan on using one you need to bring your own lock.
The pool area is very nice. There is a good amount of shade… tables and snack machines are under a canopy and on the opposite side there are lounge chairs under an overhang attached to the building. We were early enough to snag a lounge chair and since I didn’t have my own lock I just kept my things near it. I was able to see it from the pool so I felt it was relatively safe.
As for the pool itself… eh. There is a kiddie area with a water feature and it’s zero depth so it gradually gets deeper. There is a little transition area which connects the kiddie are to the larger pool. The water slide is a tube slide ad looks pretty fun, but you have to be 48″ to go down it. My kids aren’t that tall so they were pretty upset. There are 4 diving boards which all share the same diving pool, two of which are pretty tall. To go off those you need to be 8 years old and also 48″, No goggles allowed on the diving boards (kids upset about this too but got over it).
There are a lot of lifeguards and they switch stations frequently (every half hour or so). Soon after we got there I witnessed the manager semi-​yell at a mom in the kiddie area with her child because she was in a tank top and soft shorts (not denim). He made a comment that she needed to get out because she wasn’t in a bathing suit and he has already talked to her about it. There are signs posted and it’s a rule that you need to be in a bathing suit, but as the day went on there were TONS of people in the water with tshirts and shorts on so the policy seemed inconsistently enforced.
I’m sure we will continue to go here (Monday’s is 50% off 6−8pm for family night) but with all of the other pools in the area, we won’t hurry back.
