Jersey Wahoos at Sterling

I spent my childhood swimming career training here and now my 3 children are swimmers here. You can not find a USS swim team I. South Jersey with coaches this knowledgeable and good with kids ages 4 – 18. The facility is outdated and the water is cold, but that does not seem to matter when you see excellent results in kids swims with the hard training they are provided.

As a member of Cherry Hill Health and Racquet Club, I am allowed access to Wahoos, as the gym itself doesn’t have it’s own pool. This is a nice deal, so I don’t have to join a separate gym or pool to swim.
That said, if my gym didn’t have that deal, I would not join Wahoos outright. Their open lane hours are very limited (6:15 AM. to 3:00 PM. during the week, and some later night hours on the weekends), and basically the only time I am able to get there is at 6:15 AM., before work. It seems that this swim club mainly caters to swim TEAMS, and not the individual athlete. Because of that, the pool is pretty full at that time of morning, as the before-​work crowd is all trying to get in. I can’t imagine actually paying for a membership to this pool with such limited hours.
The facility is a bit dated, but clean nonetheless. The 8-​lane pool is always clean and a nice temperature — I’m comfortable in the water after only 1 lap, and never overheated. There are plenty of kick-​boards for use, and the life guards on duty are always pleasant.
For now, I will continue to utilize the Wahoos pool since it is included in my gym membership, but I’d really prefer to have more options as to what time of day I can swim.
