ARC - Activity & Recreation Center

Nice range of classes and amenities. Their Barre class is excellent. Get the pass unless you plan on coming 4 times a week. Can't wait to bring the kiddos to their indoor pool

It is what it is, although I hate that expression. The water is dirty and over chlorinated. It is never deeper than 4ft. Lifeguards are always on point. So it's safe and totally benign.

Took my almost 2 year old boy for little swimmers. We were excited to try the new water slide. He is just starting out in the water but was very excited to try new things. The new setup is much more young child friendly. While there I read the rules before going up with him. It stated on the rules a parent can accompany there young one up and use the slide with them. This made sense to me as our little one is just learning and does not have the best balance. The second time down I was approached by a life guard who stated I cannot accompany him up the equipment or go down the slide with him. She also told me he cannot wear a life vest going down as it will scratch the slide. I responded that I read the rules and stated a parent can accompany there child up the slide. She did not respond and acted like she wasn't aware of the policy. I then asked If I could speak to a supervisor and she walked away. Now I'm not completely blaming her and realize places are short staffed but some type of an explanation at the time would have been nice. It shows me a lack of awareness for response or a lack of training. Regarding the back of the life vest it was completely smooth and couldn't fathom it scratching the slide. I would think the ARC would want young kids that aren't adept at swimming to be as safe as possible. Also, there were several other little kids going down the slide with life vests that were not getting whistled at or told to get off the slide. Anyways on the way out I asked a front desk attendant about this and he stated they are short staffed and was surprised I didn't get a further explanation. He said on the weekends when they are full staffed they allow parents to accompany there child up and down the slide. He was nice and apologized. I would think the Arc would want a parent going down the slide with there young one if you are short staffed to make sure they are safe. I am confused why this isn't allowed? Also some type of signage or notice would be nice rather than getting whistled at for trying to make sure your kid is safe.

A man almost drowned due to passing out and they would not give him water or Gatorade and we were told to go buy some for him. The life guard didn’t even notice anything going on even with the screaming till there was a crowd around him and even then was slow to respond with appropriate care.

The kids really like the pool. There is a small lazy river, a cyclone pool, a larger water slide, & a play area for smaller kids. This is one of the most affordable options in the area for family fun.
