Henderson Multigenerational Center

This place is impressively much more than "just a pool." Everyone should really look at the main website ("website", above) and the many activities available, not just lap swimming; who knew they have rock wall-climbing? The Multigenerational Center is possibly the best overall facility in the entire Las Vegas area.

The outdoor pool is nicely-maintained with very clear water and good pH balance; there is no hint of the chlorine smell from a year ago and the water temperature was excellent for doing fast laps.

There's nothing obvious on the website about 50m or 25y hours; by the late afternoon, it was short-course for the swim team. What's nice is that even when the swim team takes over the entire pool, a few lanes are kept open specifically for lap swimming.

They've also fixed the "extremely hot" and "scalding hot" shower issue; it's now "warm" and "very warm"!

This is a nice pool and, although the pH seems fairly balanced, there's a slight chlorine smell. Still, be sure to take a good shower to rinse off. ...which brings up a different problem: While the showers have "hot" and "cold" labels, the only options are "extremely hot" and "scalding hot". There are actually warning signs posted throughout the locker-room about it. I'm not making this up! No kidding! The water is so hot that it's impossible to take even a cursory, one-minute shower to rinse off.

The 50m pool seems to be open only in the 25yd layout; I was there in the afternoon from 1:30 PM on. There's nothing on the pool's website about 50m v. 25yd lane hours.

And, notwithstanding the posted swim hours, when the swim team comes in at 3:30 PM it essentially takes over the whole pool, leaving the wading "lanes" at the ends for everyone else. Better than nothing, but...

It isn't the Rose Bowl, but, at $3.00 in the middle of Henderson, it's a good pool!

Very nice, top rate. The outdoor pool is the one for lap swimming; the indoor pool is for kids, walking, etc. Spartan locker room and bring a quarter to use the lock. LOTS of hours, but check the site for the 30 minute closure to change the pool layout from short to long course and vice versa.
