Roeland Park Aquatic Center

I've been there several times, mostly on weekends, during peak hours (1:00-4:00). It can get crowded, but I've never had any problems finding a lounge chair or a spot to soak up some sun. The chairs are all plastic, fairly old, and if they aren't broken they soon will be. Some features include four 50-meter lap swimming lanes, a diving well for one- and three-meter boards, two water slides, a kids pool with a whale (painted like a tiger?), and a "zero-depth" entry area including sprayers and fountains. There is also a raft/cyclone pool but it has been closed all year.This pool does not have a area just for adults. Kids have access to all the pools which means toys, splashing, and lots of screaming. As a kid I spent probably 90% of my time at a pool so I can understand. It would be nice if they could keep at least a couple of lap lanes "kid free". They also have plenty of teenage lifeguards on duty so you don't have to worry about drowning.The high dive and water slide are great features and bring back some old memories. I still have a wicked can-opener.....kaboooom!The bathrooms are their filthy. The fly's, raunchy smell, and fun house mirrors covered in goo reminded me of a campground bathroom.

My son is currently taking swim lessons here. I've never seen the pool without the huge, inflatable dome surrounding it but its definitely an interesting facility.After not having success with lessons at the fitness club we belonged to over the summer, I've been happy so far with the instructor for my three-year-old's class. Even with five kids in the class, she and her assistant keep the kids engaged the entire time. My son was so excited to get in the pool today!If you are looking for a place to bring little ones for off-season swim lessons, this is a great option.

Having spent much of my lap swimming days in Portland, OR, I was amazed to find a pool that actually has open lanes! Every time I come here I'm able to get a lane fairly quickly and everyone is super courteous. I love that it has a separate pool for lap swimming and the other pools are more for the kids and play.

My son has swim practice here 5 times a week, so I am very familar with the building.Pool is great for kids and adults. Covered in the winter and open air in the summer.

This is not a great place for lap swimmers due to the swim meets, practices and polo tournaments they have there constantly. Hours are more geared towards people who are home all day. But staff is always friendly and has a great location.

This place was horrible. The staff was very rude and judgy, they kept staring and one even body shamed a girl for being too tall for trying to get on a floaty that was in the deep end. One of the staff members heard that we wanted to swim in the 13ft part, then waited for us to get into the pool to tell us we couldn't. the diving board sucked, we could only bounce on it one time. I see no point in having a diving board if you're just gonna tell people you can jump one time. the staff couldn't keep their eyes to themselves and they were just overall very rude. They made us very uncomfortable. The front desk lady was also very rude about my friend not wearing a bathing suit, which I get but you could've been nicer about it and not give us an attitude about it, honestly it was just a very bad experience and I most definitely won't be coming back.
