The North Pointe Family Aquatic Center is a state-of-the-art facility that features a competitive pool measuring 25 yards x 25 meters, with 10 lanes, two one-meter diving boards, and a “Tree Swing." Surrounding the complex is a 1,000 foot Lazy River, which facilitates a running waterfall and various sprays. The Lazy River encloses a Leisure Pool with a beach entry, sprays, and a vortex. Also enclosed by the Lazy River is a Kiddie Pool with a beach entry and a large SCS play-structure featuring Hector the Heron and a “Bucket Falls” bucket. Between the Leisure Pool and Kiddie pool is a Splash Pad, which is a padded area with multiple spray features and shade. Adjacent to the Competition pool are one open-flume and one closed-flume, two-story Water Slides. Unlike some municipalities, non-residents are welcome at North Pointe but pay an additional fee.
