Hi all,

As I visit the Johnston (NW Des Moines) area often enough, can someone help me out with nice places to swim?  I have a Y membership, but could also look at high school or community pools for swimming.

Thanks,
Don

I've been out of town so I'm sorry for the late reply. If you have a Y membership, go to the Downtown Y or Walnut Creek. You shouldn't have any trouble with those and they'll both get the job done for you!

Best!

Thanks for the reply.

I ended up going to Summit Middle School which was pretty nice, but a bit expensive.  Since I have a Y membership, I will try the ones you suggested.

I'm not sure, but the new Y out in Waukee should be opening soon. It looks absolutely amazing and the pool should be top notch. I know it doesn't help you now, but will certainly be a great option once it opens.

The two listed above should be good, and when the Waukee facility is up and running should be the best in the are by leaps and bounds!!!!

Thanks for the advice.  I ended up at Walnut Creek which is pretty nice.  While the pool area was a bit dark, it was nice the towels were free.  Also, better showerheads, locker rooms (with a TV!) and showers, than the local Ys here in Madison.

I will probably try the Waukee one the next time.  It looks similar to one in Santee, CA I go to (except their pool is outdoors).
