Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center

We had my son's 5th birthday party here. We had a great experience; the employees had everything set up when we got there, the food was ready on time and they were great with refills on the drinks. They also were very helpful with anything we needed, i.e a cake cutter, lighter for candles, etc. There are games (board and video) and a tv available for use, and everything was clean and well-run. The pool was great and the kids had a wonderful time. Very reasonably priced too.

Overall a really nice place. The only problem with the pool is that it's a competition pool so pretty much 3 out of 4 weekends a month it's completely booked up with swim meets. The recreational pool will be open sometimes during meets but there's only like 8 lanes so it can fill up quick. I'll probably keep my yearly membership (even though they just increased the price) because it's a great option when outdoor pools are closed and I need to train, but it's getting hard to justify it to myself. The gym, locker room, and activities/clubs they have are pretty awesome.

Recently went to the center because some friends of ours were having a kids birthday party. The staff was very friendly and answered all of the questions I asked of them about the place. The kids birthday party was completely done by a group from the staff, from setting up the birthday party room, serving pizza to everybody, to playing various games like dodge ball, and flag football with the kids (and parents). There is plenty of parking since it sits near the Embrey Mill Soccer Fields. There is a 50 meter competition pool, a recreation pool and a heated wellness pool and they all sit next to each other and can be seen from the 800 seat capacity room. There are other things you can do if you choose not to go swimming there is a basketball court, or a fully equipped training room. Plus there is a snack bar if you get hungry. Why 4 stars??? Well we live in Spotsylvania and that is over 28 miles away so this is better suited for those that live in the Stafford area.
