JCC of Staten Island

i went there today to try out the pool during open house. /​staff seemed nice and friendly so I went to the pool. It looks nice — you can see the outdoors as it is enclosed by all windows. /​when i went in I had to adjust my goggles as at fir water got in and went into my eye. I knew the chlorine was too strong as my eye felt very irritated. After that I was alright so I had a very peaceful swim for thirty minutes then used the jacuzzi. It was hot with goo massaging jet streams. Showers and locker rooms clean. After I left i noticed small floating spots in my vision so I cleaned my glasses thinking it was that. They di not go away. So I removed my glasses and quickly realized they were floating spot in my vision which i never had and realized it was caused by the strong chlorine. I researched this at home and still am experiencing the spot several hours later. I may go to optometrist if this does not clear up. I did my research and read that other swimmers in other pools have had spots or blurrs. This is scary but this only occured after my swim in that pool at JCC.

I love this place, people are very friendly. They have the best swimming pool on Staten Island. The gym is modern and clean.

Summer is the greatest with fun in the sun with outdoor swimming pool and slide. The lifeguard would even pour buckets of water on the person sliding down so there would be more speed. So much fun.
For safety, no need to fear. There are multiple lifeguards on duty and always alert. The staff is plentiful and everywhere.
JCC is perfect to help comfort and cool summer melting days. The kids all have a blast. So many kids and they don’t bother me with the laughters and splashing.
There are reclining chairs for picnic and sun bathing. Plenty of chairs for everyone.
How great is that!
Special membership enrollment with free swim club. Best to join now!

Brand new facility. My new gym. 5,000 square feet. Plenty of cardio equipment, each with its own video screen. Never have to wait for a machine. AND the reason I joined, with a sports injury to recover from — not just one pool (indoor half olympic size) but two! Looking forward to the opening of the outdoor pool. Of course, full array of strength training machines/​equipment and classes (pilates, yoga etc).
Very nice locker rooms, spacious, small and larger lockers available. Massage, sauna and steam room. Café with healthy options on the first floor.
So far, very pleased with this place!
