Love, love, love the HAC! Before baby, the husband and I used to go swim laps there relatively frequently after buying a 20 session pass for $ 40 bucks. I most recently signed up for the Parent/Infant Swim and Water Safety class. I was completely satisfied. It was a good sized group of moms, dads and little ones and the instructor was sweet and knowledgeable. The facilities are pretty clean for the most part. My favorite part, though, are the giant windows facing out to the woods that surround the building. It is just such a lovely experience swimming laps or blowing bubbles and holding my little guy while he floats and bobs in the water with the scenery of the trees stretching tall to the blue or gray sky outside. I can’t wait to get back there to swim some more laps for myself, but I’m excited to, in the mean time, have a great place to watch my li’l guy make some watery memories for himself!

The Homestead Aquatic center is a really top notch swimming facility. I mean, ten lanes of lap swimming available? Pretty awesome! They also have a completely separate program pool suitable for the family and kids of all ages that slopes from 0 feet to 3 feet and then from 3 feet to 6 feet. They opened in 2009 and are located next to Homestead Park. Everything looks pretty new — nice facilities, showers, family changing rooms, etc. They seem to even have room that can be reserved/rented for kids birthday parties. For the pool, you can either pay as you go or buy a pass(non-county residents pay extra). The 20-visit swim pass is good value running from $ 0.55/visit for 5 and under to about $ 2.25/visit for adults. Hours and weekly schdule are posted online. Occasionally there are lessons or swim meets that use up some or all of the pool, so it is best to check the schedule.
