Huntsville Aquatics Center

DO NOT RECOMMEND , they seem racist as we walked in we got weird looks and they didn’t greet us like they did most of the people entering, they seem to have no respect. I came to swim in the deep end and they yelled at me to get out multiple times in a form of (GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!) in one sentence and this was my first time coming here. They have no signs AT ALL saying you can’t swim on that side and I seen people on that side too so I figured, why not swim here? They were aggressive and wouldn’t even hear me out when I was trying to tell them I’ve never been there before. Also one of the MEN grabbed my spouse which is a woman, aggressively when she was just trying to speak to them. I wish I wasn’t wet from the pool so I could’ve recorded everything otherwise I most likely would have the grounds to sue especially for even laying hands on us when we clearly said we were leaving. but of course this is what they did. Anyone that reads this please choose another place because this place was extremely disappointing. Maybe other people had better experiences but as a first timer not knowing the rules they have, it was sad all around to experience this treatment. Currently going to another pool where I won’t get treated like a literal dog. EDITED so everyone understands what happened more clearly. But Dublin Parks pool in Madison was very nice and the people there were nice and welcoming as well.

I swam the vast majority of the summer and my husband bought me a 30 visit punch card to go as the weather got inclement. The admission is only 4$ for all day. I wouldn't bring your child if they are not a strong swimmer but confident. Some of the lifeguards are rude in regards to my five year old son using floatation devices in water above his head. (Which all of it was and he was never alone.) The instructional pool is so warm and relaxing! There are jets to massage your back and aerobics classes and is great for chronic pain. The classes they offer are only admission cost as well and some hours in certain areas are adult only and not open swim. They offer swim lessons for the youngsters too. An entire agenda from open to close. They have three pools and two Olympic size. 10 to 12ft in deepest ends and 4 in shallow. The instruction pool is 4-7ft. For swimming laps they have entry boards the swimmers and jump from. They also have fun diving boards too for only swimmers. And the fun diving boards are only in 1 pool. My star was taken off because during the summer this just isn't the place to hang out. I went one afternoon and the "north-end" and the areas kids come with summer programs and daycares and it was utter chaos and gross. I would not advise going if you see the day care and child buses. The Richard showers center is also a place to go in the summer if you want to avoid the groups. I also do not like the fact they close so early on weekends. I believe the time is 5 pm. Those are the days people would stay the longest I do believe. Either way I will still be a regular visitor. They also have great shower and changing areas and private ones and there is handicap accessible swimming. Huge upgrade. Thee picture is of the pool they redid not the newer two.
