Las Cruces Regional Aquatic Center

I was very hesitant to come here with all the reviews this place has received, but the prices are good and the kids love to swim. Sure the lifeguards are a little bossy and whistle at you a lot, but that's all quite understandable. No one wants their kids falling on the hard floors, so they tell you not to climb the dividers, no running, etc... No elder wants you jumping on them while they're trying to get a workout in. All these rules and lifeguards barking at people is for your own safety. Rules are in place for a reason. No one wants to see you get hurt. As for the people in the front desk. I didn't get any attitude of any sort. They seemed nice and helpful too. All-in-all I'd definitely come back again. ‍

So, this place is a must. So, so very awesome. When I grew up, public pools were rectangles that went from 3ft to 12ft. If you were lucky, there was a diving board. All of the adults and kids were thrown into this rectangle, which prompted the invention of 'adult swim'. This meant every 45 minutes, all of us kids would have to hop out of the pool to give the adult a chance to enjoy the water without us splashing kids.With this pool, that's not even a problem. There are 4 'separate' pools in this facility and a current channel. There's a kiddie pool that goes to only a depth of 18inches that has all types of fun water spraying/dumping toys. The second pool is next to the kiddie pool. You can go down steps from the kiddie pool into the second pool, which is really just a dumping pool for the water slide (fun!). Next to these two pools is a current channel that you can float though. Then there's a regular pool that when we went was being used for water aerobics. On the far side is another pool, but this is a warm water pool...as close to a hot tub as you're gonna get. It's temperature was about 10° warmer than the other pools. All of the pool options work very well in letting kids and adults share the same facility without one causing the other much headache.The only problem I have is that there isn't a diving area. None of the pools are deep enough. I guess the water slide makes up for it, but diving is a pool pasttime! Open swim on the weekdays starts @ 1PM. Get there @ 1PM or prepare to get wait listed and have to wait at least 30-45mins to get in.

It's a public pool. I can understand why it has 3 stars and I don't particularly care to read the other reviews. They let me shower for $1. There are 2 CrossFit gyms in town and neither of them have a shower so I came here and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to spend another $6.50 just to get clean after my workout.

***This review is for the fitness center only ****I love this fitness center on the upper level. I have been going for a couple weeks now and it is never crowded, most of the time I even have the workout room all to myself. They offer a few classes, but the classes I want to do are not at this location or at a time that I can not attend. A great little workout center and free towels ! I recommend it highly.

I'm from Phoenix and I'm bummed we don't have one of these back home. The indoor pool offers lap swim in the morning and the weight room has a great assortment of classes you can take (yoga and PiYo are my favorites). The weight room also has a good number of weight machines, free weights, treadmills, ellipticals and bikes. My only wish is they had more free weights and barbells but if you're creative you can get around that. The price for a 30 day pass ($48) is an amazing deal! Locker rooms and equipment is clean and in good working order too. I would pick this spot over a traditional gym any day!

The staff are not polite at all. No hello or welcome. Just, "how many?" Up at the front desk there were at minimum 5 staff members sitting down talking to each other or playing on their phones. We went to the pool area and there were literally only 10-15 chairs to sit on to watch your children or to leave your towels/shoes. They do not have extra chairs available anywhere in the building(we asked). And when we asked for a refund because there was no where to set our things down we were told no. Rude customer service.

The aquatic center has a big pool with plenty of room. You can reserve a lane for Lap swimming or swim in the open pool all for just 2.00!

The aquatic center is a true blessing. No membership required and the cost for using the pool for fitness is soooo reasonable!! The staff is also very friendly. Thanks to the city for providing a great facility.

For the love of God and all that is holy, do not touch the side of the lap pool. I'm not sure if it's lined with diamond studded sandpaper, but it will slice you open like a fillet knife. Legend has it that a poor soul, broken hearted and burdened, once swan dived headfirst into the bottom of the pool. Five days later, they found his toupee floating by the stairs. The rest of his body disintegrated upon impact.

Had a party at The Aquatic center and Patty who works in the front was extremely rude and very unprofessional. Asked her a few simple questions and she had a horrible attitude towards me and my guests. I will not recommend doing any business with her. Everyone else was respectful and helped me. I don't care who you are or how long you have worked there, I am a paying customer, so I expect to be treated with some sort of respect. I will not be having anymore parties at the aquatic center.
