Before going to the Kroc Center, remember that daily theft, rude workers and unsanitary playing spaces are what you should look forward to. It all started when I went to the pool at 6:30, paying $7.50 to stay until 8:30, when the pool closed. I swam for a good thirty minutes before my friends and I decided to go get a snack from the vending machine. We stepped outside and was immediately cornered by a worker who forced us to put on shoes, so we went back into the locker room, put on our shoes and a shirt to cover our bathing suits. We went into the lobby where the vending machines were located and got our snacks. The rule is that you can't bring food past the lobby so we sat there eating until a Mexican lady at the front desk yelled at us saying we were dripping on the floors and that we needed to get back into the pool and also complained about us "not having on clothes" while there were teenage boys on the other side of the lobby wearing no shirts and basketball shorts. Me being me, I snuck my cookie into the girls locker room and went back to the pool. When I got there, the main pool had been roped off for "laps". It was only about 7:45 and the pool closed at 8:30. We tried to go in there but the lifeguard kept yelling at us saying if we were in there we had to be swimming laps. When we paid $7.50 for OPEN SWIM, they didn't say anything about closing the pool off early for laps and it's also not on the schedule they have posted online. We stayed in the hot tub until it was time to get picked up. Once we went in the locker room, i decided to change in the bathroom, until I saw that the toilets looked and smelled disgusting. I ended up changing behind the lockers. I made a mistake and left my bikini top in there bathing suit dryer they have, and when I came to pick it up the next day, a different Mexican lady told me to check the lost and found in the gym. I went down there and found nothing. I'll never be going back to the Kroc Center again.
