Roosevelt Aquatic Center

This is an older pool, but nice. It was very clean the day I was there. The starting blocks are terrible; the legs were held into the deck with old wooden wedges. Really!. The pool area is somewhat dark, as overhead lighting is lacking, but a big bank of windows helps. Overall, it’s not too bad. The locker room is decent; the showers passable. And it still costs only $5.00.

The center has nice locker rooms and a sauna that runs 175º -180º F. There is also a smaller pool for water aerobics and running. They use a water treatment system that reduces the chloramines 80%, so eyes don’t burn and suits don’t deteriorate.
