Turkey Thicket Aquatic Facility - Washington, District of Columbia

This pool is HUGE! Water was pretty cold but not as cold as Rumsey…you can adjust to this lol. AND there’s a hot tub!!!!! I always appreciated a ramp entry for the little ones as well. There’s plenty of places to sit (bleachers), it’s warm inside the facility (that’s what made the water temp more bearable too) and there’s lap lanes and a diving board! Overall good. Will definitely be back!

Turkey Thicket is great. The staff and people there are always friendly. I like that the water is not extremely cold. I am there twice a week. It would help if DC would fix the hot tub which has been down for some time.

This week too much chlorine in the pool. The smell was very strong it had my eyes burning and I didn't even put my head under the water.😏
However the ladies locker room was much cleaner than my previous visit🙄🤨

These are pictures of the ladies showers, where someone has left there hair behind🤨
These other pictures are of the hot tub with this thick ring of dirt and foam, thus forcing people out of the hot tub!🤔🤔😏

Exactly what you need out of a local public indoor pool. I come here regularly to swim laps, and it feels like a neighborhood. Guards are friendly, pool and hot tub are reliable, locker rooms are clean. 4 lap lanes on a regular basis, and locker rooms aren’t the biggest but sufficient. -1 star because the showers in the ladies’ room keep breaking and DPR has been slow to implement a permanent solution.

A few years ago this was a great facility. It's fallen into disrepair lately. It's not as sparkly clean as it once was. Some of the showers don't work. The shower that does work has a loose and rusty fitting at the wall. The water pressure is low too. They no longer keep the shower soap dispensers filled with soap. The bathing suit dryer in the men's locker room is out of service. There's grime on tiles in the locker room. They don't always open on time. Still, if your just looking to get in a quick swim and your in the neighborhood it gets the job done.

Was in the neighborhood and wanted to swim some laps. So I call to hear about their policies. 7 dollars for non DC residents. No cash. OK, sounds fair. I'll just bring my wallet and leave it in a locker.

Pool facilities are pretty nice. Lots of families taking advantage of the fountain and the life jackets.

I swim my laps. Probably in the pool for 45 minutes. Dry off, change, get my stuff. In less than ten minutes the fraud department of my bank had called me. Someone had carefully swiped the credit cards out of my wallet. In 45 minutes. So glad they didn't take my ID and my phone was in my car.

I suppose I should be more careful in locker rooms.

Great pool lifeguards everywhere. Only thing is water VERY cold appearently their water heater is down and has been for a while. Once your in you'll definitely need to keep move and keep most of your body submerged.
