Great fun for the family. My child loves it here. The varying water depths is great for young or nervous swimmers. We've been here on our own, for field trips and for birthday parties. Every time the staff was helpful and professional. The facility is always clean. I also use the gym. It is one of Charlotte's hidden gems. Recommended
