We love this place! I’ve take my boys for private swim lessons at CHS Aquatic Center for the last three summers, and they’ve had a blast! This year, we even got a season pass, and it’s more than paid for itself. My sons love going down the water slides, swimming in the big Olympic sized pool and even jumping off the diving boards! I also love that they have several dedicated swim lanes roped off at all times so that adults and active swimmers can enjoy a lane to themselves to swim laps or practice strokes. All the kids who work there as lifeguards and swim instructors are super nice and friendly. I totally recommend for a great way to beat the summer heat in Gilroy!

This place was great. I just visited for my first time last week. Cost is affordable $ 5 week day and $ 7 weekend. The part I love best about this place is they let you bring in your own food. I saw people rolling in coolers, bringing in boxes of pizza, trays of sandwiches etc. The only downside is I wish there was more seating available. You have to arrive early to get a lounge chair or table. Also, they do not allow life jackets. The water is very shallow in the toddler area. My 4 year old was okay without one but it was scary when she tried to cross over to the other side where the water was deeper.

i love this place and take my kids (ages 12 and 15) and their friends for a day of swimming. A great place for various ages from the little kiddies to teens to the older crowd. They have the large pool with diving boards. They also have classes before and after pool hours. Great music too! You can take food for pool parties.
When the weather is just right (and not too hot), it makes for a perfect day at the pool.

Terrific place for all ages — deep pool and two slides for my older child and advanced swimmer, a really large area for wading in with gentle slope, sprayers and mini slides for my toddler. Tables and benches readily available but on weekends get there early to secure a spot. Pricey but so worth the clean, state of the art filtration. Didn’t feel overly chlorinated, wonder if it’s a salt water pool? There were tons of friendly, happy employees lifeguards — so you are paying for the great service and safety too. $ 5 weekdays per person, $ 7 weekends. Love that they are open both Sat/​Sun too

Lap swim, slide, and shallow area for the kids. Outdoor showers and nice bathroom facilities, but no locker room. With a locker room I would give it 5 stars.
