First off, I wanted to correct some information on a previous Water Slide blog post.  The height minimum for the Suncadia swim fitness center water slides is 42" (not 48" as I had posted.)  Aly who works at the swim fitness center commented below but since the comments aren't easily visible I wanted to fix that misinformation.
 
This brings me to my second and more important comment.  The Suncadia Swim Fitness Center Staff.  They are amazing.  We make it up to Suncadia about once per month and they make a point of remembering our names.  Aly, Halle, Phyllis, Patti, and David (sorry if I got your name/spelling wrong) go out of their way to help us and make our kids feel special.  Top notch customer service.  We feel like Norm when he goes to Cheers!  :-)  (sorry for the 80s sitcom reference for those of you who missed it) 

On a related note, there was a mix up today with our guests at Sugar Cookie Cabin.   I did not properly communicate the process to gain access to the SFC.  (Good learning for me - it won't happen again)  To stave off an imminent 3yr old meltdown, the staff was good enough to let them despite my mess up.  I am super thankful that they did.   It just another example of how the Swim Fitness Club staff goes the extra mile. 

Lastly, the outdoor pool and patio grille are now open.  We went up Memorial Day and it was great to see it busy and bustling.  It was great to get outside for a swim. 

 
 

The water slides are such a hit with the kids (and adults) that I had to throw up some more pictures.  This picture is at the top of the water slides. There is a 3 story climb from the bottom to the top.  Kids need to be over 48" (I think) to ride the slides and unfortunately only solo rides are allowed - in other words no taking the kids on your lap.  This is tough because getting the younger ones to try for the first time can be challenging.  It is pretty dark inside but once they try, they never want to stop.  


This picture is of the bottom of the slides which lets out near Suncadia's indoor pool.  The Yellow slide is much faster than the Green Slide.  There has never been more than a 3 minute wait for the slides when we have been visiting Suncadia and the wait is usually under 1 minute.  The swim and fitness center's hours are longer than the waterslides' hours.  Currently, the water slides are open from 3-7pm on Friday, 12-5pm on Saturday and 10am-3pm on Sunday whereas the pool is open daily at either 6, 7 or 8am.
