Nassau County Aquatic Center

The pool closes for maintenance for one month every year and is unavailable to swimmers for another 30 to 45 days due to swim meets; so purchasing a membership really doesn't make any sense; this pool should be visited on a per diem basis only.

The pool lane arrangement varies according to the season. When it is set up with 50 meter, long course lanes, there is also section separated by a bulkhead with 25 meters lanes going width-wise. Sometimes it is set up with two 25 yard sections separated by a bulkhead and another section of 25 meter lanes with a second bulkhead. It has the option of multiple sections of 25 meters also. Masters and youth teams take up many of the lanes from 6 to 8 AM and from 4 to 8 PM. At other times, the pool is not at all crowded. There are many meets on the weekends and there may not be any lanes available or the pool may be closed to the public when meets are in progress.

Absolutely one of the best pools on the East coast! The temperature is right, the chemicals are right, great gutter system, and over 6 feet deep for most of the lanes. If you were a golfer you'd compare this to Pebble Beach.
