Nice facility. It's Foothills run, and they tend to have decent upkeep of their facilities. We came to this one because of the swim club, and this pool is pretty nice. Lot of lanes so the kids can be broken up into more specific groups while training.
Over all a pretty good place to visit. Swimming pool is great for kids. Staff could be 100% more friendly especially when you pay for a private party.
This place is big. New-looking courts. The only bummer is the swim teams were practicing when we were there so the kids couldn't use the big pool & diving board. Very clean everywhere i saw.
While I am happy with the facilities, classes, and staff, I think that their reservation system needs improvement. While you can sign up for classes online, you are not able to withdraw from them online if you have a schedule conflict so you have to phone the desk. Often that works OK, but my last experience at the Peak turned into a fiasco. I phoned to withdraw from one session, and the result was that several other sessions were cancelled that I wanted to keep. In addition to that, the website then was showing that I owed them money for three sessions, which was totally incorrect. It took a few phone calls to finally get things straightened out. It all probably could have been avoided if I had been able to withdraw online. The automated emails and online records often do not have useful information as to what they are even referring to or what was performed. I won't get into all the details here, but someone needs to start managing the IT contractor for the reservation system and get them to do a better job.
The main pool was closed and the therapy pool was a little cold, but otherwise it was okay. Froze my tushie off walking from the therapy pool to the locker room, but the shower was nice and hot so I warmed up.
