McLean Gardens Pool

Very pretty, clean*, and well manicured...but oh so very tiny for such a large complex. I hope I don't sound like a mean curmudgeon--I like kids--but it is absolutely overrun by children. There is no adult swim. Sometimes the lifeguards let people spread to the lap lanes to read or chat, as people do, so we aren't stuck being splashed and crowded out by kids and their parents. But when they don't, you have nowhere to swim or just exist in the pool. *One time I saw a dad in the pool tug his baby daughter's swim suit to the side to let her pee while he laughed about it. It's shallow--5 ft. at its deepest point--but kids (and sometimes adults) jump and cannonball in; there's no rule against that. Positives: The bathroom/shower area is pretty clean. (But there's no bin for feminine hygiene products in the stall I used so... I guess they want us to flush everything?) There's a picnic area which is nice because you can bring in outside food. But I'm getting frustrated with them entirely catering to kids, minus the safety part. Good luck if you're not either a child, a parent, or somebody who swims laps for like 10 minutes.
