A Pool Fit for the Gods

This isn’t your average chlorinated hole in the ground. No, this is a junior Olympic-sized masterpiece surrounded by Roman vibes, sea-green stained glass, and a terra-cotta fountain with Neptune himself overseeing your aquatic ambitions.

Want to pretend you’re training for the Olympics? Grab a lane (four to choose from!) and start slicing through the heated waters. Prefer more chill vibes? Recline poolside with towel service and pretend the kids aren’t asking for snacks every five minutes.

Movie Nights & Day Pass Perks

Pro tip: Fridays and Saturdays are movie nights! Float in an inner tube or lounge with popcorn as family-friendly flicks light up their drive-in-style screen. Who needs Hollywood when Neptune’s your audience?

Day passes grant access to all this lap-lane luxury, perfect for a day trip from Rockford. Or go big and book a room, because who doesn’t want to say, “I stayed where chandeliers weigh more than my car”?

The pool opens early (hello, 6 a.m. laps) and closes late. Just remember, kids need an adult with them—so bring your parental A-game. Ready to make a splash? Your escape awaits!
