"My kids are doing swimming lesson here. We only have access to the pool for the short time there. The pool is big and clean. The facility itself seems outdated. The restrooms are equipped with showers too. There is a large area with shade where you can sit with tables. My rating is solely based on the pool side of this location. The employees are friendly."
