Fort Sam Houston Aquatic Center

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.

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.

Good to have this place open for summer with good operating hours. Staff is nice and very polite!

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.

Amazing although the ice cream vending machine was 99% empty and took 5 dollars with no return because it was on my debit.

Recreational swimming isn’t available until May27 only open for training. They need to change “open” to closed!

It is great. I wish they would increase the time alloted for the swim test as it makes it hard for little kids to pass the test even if they are decent swimmers.

This is the best community pool I have ever been to. The kids love the slides and rock wall. The kids have to do a swim test for the slides, but the process is easy and once it’s done they store your name in their system. You can bring food and drinks and make a day out of it.

Free swim area Swimming, lanes, dive, 3 water slides, swim test for under age of 16 for slides and deep end swimming, it cost to get in, active duty free, wear mask as entering building, shower room, lockers, toilets on site

Wonderful lifeguard staff and their supervisor, Dave, is a dedicated and kind soul. Kids will definitely enjoy the rock climbing wall, the four story slides, the drop off slide and the diving boards. It's never crowded, there are plenty of chaise lounges, and there's lots of shade if you want it. There are three dedicated lap lanes in a crystal clear Olympic size pool. All kids will have to take a swim test to get a wrist band to be on the slides or in deep end. Best kept secret in town for military families in San Antonio. I sure missed it during summer of 2020 when it was closed because of COVID.

Decent base pool dated locker room but good 50 meter pool with designated lap lanes. Once covid is over though the students will swamp this pool in the summer so be advised.

Excellent place for rec swimming and swimming lessons! My kids learned sooo much just in 2 weeks of lessons! Thanks!

I would have given them more then 5 stars if I could. Friendly, helpful the staff makes me feel great. Clean and safe!

This pool is amazing and well kept. Its awesome to get a full sized pool to swim laps. Every time I have went there was plenty of room and the staff was nice.
