Shaw Park Aquatic Center

This pool is a treasure and swimming laps outdoors in a 50M pool is wonderful. The water was colder in June and with all the rain still on the cool side for our July 4th swim. The staff is pleasant and the facility does not get too crowded. They have a kiddie pool and an amazing dive tank with diving boards and a platform with three heights for jumping/diving. They have a concession stand for food as well. Check times for lap swimming.

Nice place but the hotel I was staying at, Residence Inn Clayton told me that admission to the pool was free for hotel guests. What a scam, it's not!

One of the regions few 50 meter pools available for club meets. It has a warm up pool and restrooms. The spectator seating has no protection from the sun. Nearby parking is across Brentwood Boulevard in a paid garage. Parking south of the park is free when available, but is roughly .3 miles from the pool area.

Public pool means anyone is permitted. Walked my family there and was turned down because we aren't members and we weren't with members. We called and asked if it was "Public" and was told yes. Not allowing everyone in is the opposite of Public. Our family visits Clayton at least 2 times a year, I'll be sure to tell everyone I know that staff doesn't understand the word Public and to leave this place for the birds. Of I could give a negative star rating, I most definitely would.

The changing room hasn't been cleaned all summer. We were guests here and would never go back. I can't believe the health department hasn't closed this place down. Literally large clips of hair (resembling small animals) all over the floor!
