I belonged to DAC for years and then GFD bought them out, promising to improve the facility. Its certainly prettier, but apparently only on the surface, at least for the one reason Ive been a member all these years: to swim laps, ritually 1/2 mile 4-5 days a week. Three international agencies have agreed on the ideal temperatures for a pool used for different swimming (not exercise) purposes: water temperature for competitive swimming between 77° to 82° F (25°-28°C), and 81°F (27°C) for synchronized swimming. Warmer water is less dense and therefore less friction as a swimmers body moves through it. Standard water temperatures ensure that all performances are on a level state of conditions. The lap pool has been at 73 degrees or below intermittently for a few weeks now, as the heater breaks down. Yes, I do "dislike it." If the supposedly improved GFDS cant accommodate my only purpose in being a member, I see no value at all in remaining with them. This is too bad, since I am used to the place, like the location away from the center of town, and know some of my fellow swimmers (not that theyve been "breaking the ice" lately, either). It would be useful if GFDS would at least post daily pool temperatures on their website so that one neednt phone in to get that information -- and perhaps encounter someone who didnt know, as I did yesterday. My giving them two stars today was generous!

The best athletic club in Davis. The new owner is trying to fix up decades of neglect by previous owner. All the TV is either conservative news or sports with little variety. Most people use mobile devices for entertainment. Lockers are in short supply and owner rents the desireable upper lockers to make a few bucks. He really should put in more lockers.

I like the swimming facilities. The therapy pool is the only one in town. It helped me recover from a swollen knee. I like the hours from 5am to 11pm

The physical therapy pool is great and the new owners are fixing up the club, piece by piece. Good job!
