Fort Sam Houston Aquatic Center - Fort Sam Houston, Texas

Fun place to stay cool on a hot day. There are Lap swim lanes, 3 water slides, and a large free swim area. They had a covered area with tables and an open, grassy area (that need mowing) with lounge chairs. Lifeguards and staff were very kind and welcoming. The water looked really clear and clean. The locker rooms need some updating and a STRONG, daily cleaning. I didn’t love that, as a boy mom, my son would had travel without me through the Men’s locker room to get to the pool. A family entry would be a nice touch. The stairs up to the slides could also use some maintaining/painting. Overall, our family appreciated this facility and wish it were open even more throughout the week and later into the season for free/family swim. It’s currently only open Friday-Tues 12-8 for free swim and all the other day are lap swim only.

Friendly family pool, slides, large size, Great.. During the retiring of the Colors the lifeguards blew their whistles... very patriotic, good; except there were young children and other swimmers still swimming in the pool. I've never seen such a lack of attention to safety, at a military pool, you'd have to know to better understand. Read or reread the U.S. Code on retiring the Colors (Safety FIRST, Right?). Other than that, not bad.

The staff and lifeguards are so professional and friendly. They go above and beyond. Not only are they vigilant in regards to keeping the pool safe but every single person they hire is so polite and genuinely kind. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a better experience with excellent staffing anywhere. Just so impressed. The pool is nice too.

One other thing is that I love the leadership of the pool. Once I saw the woman who runs the pool cleaning the bathroom which is just such an excellent example of servant leadership. I’m sure she could have passed a less enjoyable job like that to someone else. Little things like that are a big deal when it comes to fostering a work environment where people can thrive and as a result deliver fantastic service.

We loved it here! We got there around 1300 on a Saturday. It started getting crowed an hour or so later. The slides were fun. The pool and bathrooms were clean. Friendly folks. Be careful of the crows if you bring food. There isn't much shade, but there are plenty of loungers. The lifeguards were attentive but not overbearing. Three bucks an adult.

Great place to exercise, relax in the sun, and to find adventure on the water slides and rock climbing wall.
