Arcata Community Pool

Came here with my kiddos class as party of their physical activity plan. It was very hard finding parking, especially on a school day(arcata highs parking lot is next door). The facility itself is clean, well maintained and the locker room has working showers. There were life jackets available for our little ones and we had open access to the shallow side of the pool. Kiddo had a blast. Would absolutely recommend for a change of pace getting the kids out.

Great weekend, outing for myself.And my boys only downside this specific time was that.My 9-year-old passed this swim test.The last time we went and not this time when I asked her(lifegaurd) what he could do for next time, because I like to make everything a learning experience for my kids.She said he slowed down in the middle of the pool.She didn't like his pace. Being the reason he didnt pass this time. the only reason they like being in the deep end is for the diving board then they get right out. I thought was a little silly. and this time it seemed like lifeguard had it out for him, he was the only child she kept screaming not to run when he was walking quickly i am a mom, that continuously watches my kids. Just.\nWanted to give my feedback of my time visiting today.Other than it is

Looks amazing for swimming. They even have a sauna and a hot tub!!! I'm told they use half the chlorine by using UV sterilization as well! It's just a bit pricey! About $650 for a year However they do have a 10x punch card for $90 i think...if you're an infrequent swimmer or on a budget. They have senior and children discounts as well! Worth checking out!

Great swimming lessons for grandsons. Definitely need family changing area. Did not appreciate the naked men parading around the locker room. Glad grandpa was there to get them out quickly. Rather disturbing.

Lifeguards are well trained and the staff is very responsive. They have a exercise room and an outside hot tub for adults. Great for swim lessons and lap swimming. The water slide opens during public swim.
