Webster Aquatic Center

3 stars because:
— of the mere fact that it exists and provides what it is supposed to: a pool
— decent hours
— prices (both drop in and membership) are really reasonable.
— friendly staff
Now, let me tell you my pet peeves (Disclaimer: I am spoiled by gym facilities):
— The facilities are little bit dated. At the end of the day, a better looking facility doesn’t make your work out any better, but it does make it more enjoyable. It also seemed really dark in the pool area.
— Community showers. Wait, not just community showers, but shower heads grouped in 3’s in a weird shape so you have to look at anyone else sharing a shower near you. You’re in the locker room, you are gonna see people naked and vice versa, but this is a whole’nother level. Also they have those semi-​nonexistant type shower heads that sort of spray like a hose.
— The set up in the locker room is weird. I noticed while in the shower that if someone opened the door to the pool area wide enough, everyone would be able to see me shower. Also, the same thing in the changing area with respect to the door leading to the hallway. The benches are pressed against the locker towers: if you try to sit on them while brushing your hair, you will bang your your elbows on the lockers. (Trivial, but it was the icing on the cake for my visit.) No spinny-​thing to help dry out your suit. BAH HUMBUG.
— Last and finally, NO TOWEL SERVICE. What is this, a Rochester City pool? Not even the option to pay extra for it?
