Arne Hanna Aquatic Center

I enjoy swimming at Arne Hanna Aquatic Center. I swim for fitness and have only utilized their lap lanes. Afterward, I use the hydro-​therapy spa. I really appreciate that our town has a facility like this. It’s clean, the staff are really friendly and professional and there are usually times you can do laps with no problem as far as overcrowding. The only negative, and this is usually the case with every public swimming facility, is the locker rooms, seems kind of crowded, old and the showers are less than satisfying as far as hot water and good pressure are concerned… having said that, it’s still an excellent place to swim for fitness. I also noticed they have a lot of group fitness water classes like aerobics and the like.

Took a bunch of kids here for some pool fun on a Friday night when our regular pool was closed for maintenance. It was worth the drive!
Just a few minutes off I-​5 with plenty of parking. Save money if you are a family instead of paying individually and kids under a certain age are free.
The lap pool was way too chilly for us to hang out in so we played with the kiddos in the zero-​depth entry kid’s pool, part of it goes to 3′ with a basketball hoop. The other half is where the water slide dumps out those lucky kids taller than 48″. There is also a smaller deeper pool with a diving board that was getting a lot of use from rowdy kids while we were there.
Open swim ended at 9 and the place was invaded by middle school/​high school kids which made the locker room a nightmare trying to get out.
Wish we would have known to bring our own pool toys as the noodles are only for lessons or aqua aerobics or something. There was a couple balls for the basketball hoop. Little life jackets are available too. There is a set of bleacher seats and some chairs for those who don’t want to get wet to sit on.

We have been very happy with Arne Hanna. My oldest child started taking swim lessons off and on for the last 3 years. We’ve been happy with most of the instructors.
Our family also enjoys going swimming during preschool and open swim periods.
Arne Hanna features a large walk-​in child pool, that’s only about 3 feet deep at the deepest end, a large lap pool, a diving pool, and hydrotherapy tub. The kids pool has a cool water slide, for riders 48″ and taller.
The only problem we’ve experienced is that sometimes the small pool is very cold. Sometimes AH has a sign up telling people of this and they will refund your $ but it’s frustrating to show up for a lesson or open swim to a teeth-​chatteringly cold pool.
There are 2 family dressing/​shower rooms and then a men’s and women’s changing room. The family changing rooms are great, but during heavy use times, can be a long wait to get into. They have a changing table in each of them, which is really handy if you have a small child that needs to be diapered/​dressed.
The staff are friendly and helpful. We really like Arne Hanna.
