Ammon City Swimming Pool

Okay this place needs updating ... big time. I had a pool growing up that was just a little smaller than the size of this pool. The pool is L-shaped, and there is a shallow end and a deep end. There is one diving board medium sized. We were only allowed one hour, and the pool session ended. My kids complained and wanted another session but I said we would save it for Rexburg Rapids. The pad at the splash park is okay, better than most. The snack bar has decent prices, and has better nacho cheese than I've had in a long time! Three cheers for 23 years.

I’m so angry about the service provided here! Absolutely a terrible place to have children swim! I am completely in disarray over the situation my oldest had experienced today at the pool. She’s 17, and took all the younger kids to swim there today. We purchased dollar store goggles for everyone… while at the pool a younger boy started to accuse my youngest girl that she stole goggles from him. Her googles were pink and purple, very unlikely for a younger boy to pick for himself. The entire time they were there this boy followed them around saying he was going to cause physical harm by punching my child. My oldest tried to get help from the adult with him, but she was completely ignored. Then, the manager of the pool came to my children and told they needed proof that those googles belong

The shallow end is great for kids! However, I’m not impressed with swim lessons at all. The teachers used puddle jumpers to have kids jump off the wall. Puddle jumpers are not safe and I paid for my kid to learn to swim (which includes jumping off the wall and fully submerging in water). While doing backfloats, the teachers just have the kids lay on their backs and don’t enforce any technique. Not impressed with the swim lessons at all.

Lifegaurds care more about there social lives them the kids swimming they actively make fun of disabled kids swimming as well

The size and setup of the pool are a bit awkward. The pool is small and features a water slide that occupies a significant amount of swimming space. You have to keep your distance from the slide while in the water because people often come flying off it. Additionally, swimming classes are conducted at the same time as open swimming, making it a challenge to avoid getting in the way of others. If there is an incident, such as a child's diaper leaking, everyone is required to exit the pool while it gets cleaned. This process can take up to 45 minutes, which means you lose valuable swim time that you’ve paid for. This has happened to us during our last two visits. I would be more understanding if they offered a pass or some sort of compensation to those of us who paid to swim but didn’t get
