Swimming Pools in Carroll County
Health Unlimited in Carroll County has
two indoor swimming pools plus a
large hot tub / spa. Our main pool is 6 lanes wide and 25 yds long
(42' x 75') with depths ranging from 3.5 ft to 7 ft. The
smaller class/training pool is 42' x 20' with depths from 3 ft
to 4.5 ft. Please note that club members cannot swim laps in the small pool
which is used primarily for
swim lessons, aqua aerobics classes and childrens' play time.
Swimming pool water temps are: 84 degrees in the big pool and
86 degrees in small pool. The hot tub fits 8 people.
The Big Swimming Pool
Our main swimming pool is unique in that instead of having a shallow end
and a deep end, we have a shallow side and deep side - the pool
floor slopes right to left along the length of the pool rather
than sloping away as you swim/walk down a lane. This allows
people who have difficulty swimming to walk laps and do other
water exercise plus it makes the pool more versatile since we
can fill up one side of the pool with shallow activities and not
interfere with lap swimming availability (a "traditional" pool
uses their shallow end for lessons, etc. which interferes with
the ability to have lap
lanes available). We essentially have lap lanes available for
swimmers all of the time. Also, we are unique in that we have UV
light systems on each pool to assist with sanitation and
cleanliness: cutting edge amenities for indoor swimming pools.
This allows us to
keep a cleaner, less smelly environment and use slightly less
chemicals in the water.
The smaller pool is available
for Open Swims 4:00-5:30 pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Our
swimming pool schedules may be
