Commonpoint Queens Bay Terrace Pool and Athletic Complex - Bay Terrace, New York

Way overcrowded! To a point where it is standing room only in the pool. There is no swimming around or even lounging around in one spot when you have over 10 kids+ jumping around you and ON TOP of you!

Considering I coughed up over $1000 just for myself. I was upset that this place is strictly targeted for children and families. There is no consideration taken for single adults such as myself. Many times people have landed on top of me while I was swimming in the deep end. I have voiced my concerns to management, and while they were polite (I spoke to Scott) they told me there is nothing they can do to change or accommodate anything.

I suggested that perhaps there should be a time where the deep end has people jumping in and out and another time frame dedicated to JUST SWIMMING. I was trying to meet them halfway but they did not. I also spoke to another staff (Valentina Lorca) and unlike Scott, she was completely dismissive of my issues. Stating that nothing will be changed or accommodated.

Additionally, they have swimming lessons right in the middle of an overcrowded pool with regular swimmers. You can tell that these people are trying to make money as much as possible, and they strictly do not care about anyone’s quality of life, or enjoyment. While they charge for single adult members, they strictly cater to families and children ONLY!

Not to mention, that by 1pm even on weekdays most of the seats are taken. You either have to awkwardly find chairs sandwiched between other people or sit on the floor. The whole point of me joining these places is to relax NOT FIGHT TRAFFIC!

I will be joining a different pool club next summer, interestingly very close to them and I heard much much much quieter! Common Point Pool in Bayside is only for people who do not mind being on top of people. In the water and on the deck.

Relaxing pool with plenty of activities. Nice snack bar with hot or cold choices.

We were lucky enough to meet a very good private swim coach Ethan, who taught very well and is highly recommended if anyone wants to learn to swim. He was very polite and attentive to my child, my kid already knew how to swim at 11 feet deep after swimming lessons, my child was excited! Thank you, Ethan!

Pleasant neighborhood community pool. Clean and pleasant staff.

I was here for the carnival but unsure if the pool was open unless it’s for members only. I have learned 90 degree weather + bouncy houses with no shade = bad. The bouncy houses were sitting in the sun resulting in hot plastic. All but one of the bouncy houses required children to take off their shoes and on a hot day like today, most if not all, aren’t wearing socks. Their poor feet. Could have informed parents in an email to bring socks since shoes aren’t allowed in the bouncy houses, but I should have known better. Always pack a pair of socks as backup. The carnival was only an hour and by reservation, but you can do everything within 30 minutes depending on where the children like to linger longest. Long line for the cotton candy and popcorn stand. Barbecue was overpriced. Could easily walk through to Outback Steakhouse to grab food where you will be seated in your own booth with air conditioning. Overall, the kids had fun though. I would probably go again if there is nothing else left to do but not on a hot summer day.

I cannot say enough nice things about this pool club! It has been my families happy place for the past 2 summers. It's very clean and the staff are extremely professional and friendly. An extra thanks to the swim lessons department, they have been so accommodating. We are moving in a week and had to cancel swim lessons last minute and the staff offered to let us make it up because she didn't want the kids to miss out on their last lesson. I don't know anywhere else that has been so accommodating! Thank you commonpoint!

I called and spoke to Eileen H, about joining the pool for the summer. She called me immediately after I left a message and was so nice and patient. She explained everything to me about a family membership and private swim lessons for the kids. I had already heard great things, but this was proof positive.

If you enjoy sitting on top of other people this is the pool for you. Almost impossible to move your chair once you sit down. Way too over crowded to enjoy. Try the Bay Terrace Country club. You'll think you died and gone to heaven. Maybe cost a little more but totally worth it.
