Foss Park: Latta Brothers Memorial Pool

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Has anyone been to the swimming pool in Foss Park in Winter Hill? I saw it for the first time while walking Broadway for this past weekend's SomerStreets festival. It was overflowing with kids to the point I didn't want to go near it, but it was the prime time for that, since it was a weekend day right around noon. Is it always stuffed with children? Is it cleaned up well at all?

DCR has only a little bit of information on it:
Latta Brothers Memorial Swimming and Wading Pool, McGrath Highway, (617) 666-9236
Hours of Operation: 11am to 7pm
Learn to Swim 10am to 11:30am M-F

There may be a chicken and egg problem: there never seem to be any swimmers who are at all serious, so there's no perceived need for a lane, so swimmers who are at all serious go elsewhere, [...]

That said, I just started getting slightly serious, and thinking about it for half a minute I realized that continuing to be slightly serious year-round is going to require a Y membership.
