This is reference to the Federal Way, WA Community Center and the way they conduct the lap swim activity in the lap pool. I have posted two complaints so far with the staff and from my visits to the pool, obviously my suggestions/complaints go ignored.

Before you plan on buying into the money pit of a community center (yes they are losing money), think about what you are getting into.

The LAP POOL, yes the lap pool most of the time is not used for lap swimming, but other activities. For the small amount of time we do have available to swim, there is no control over rude teenagers that disrupt the peaceful swim of serious lappers.

I guess you get what you pay for, but the personnel in charge are teenagers themselves with no, shall we say no backbone to say anything when the rude teenagers are horse playing and getting into the way of the lap swim.

I continue to go there for one reason only, they do not charge for my son who is 21 months, where most places do, and they are little more inexpensive than other places around.

Just remember if you are a full paying member, you get treated worse than those on assistance, and you may not think you get your money worth. And if you do complain, no one listens.

Something to think about.
