About
The Graham Swimming Pool, located at 414 Goley St in Graham, NC, is a seasonal outdoor municipal pool managed by the Town of Graham's Recreation & Parks Department. While the prompt specifies 'Members Only', it typically operates as a public facility, offering recreational swimming opportunities for residents and visitors during the summer season. It generally features a main swimming area and often includes shallower sections.
Specific, maintained temperature information for the Graham Swimming Pool is not publicly available. As a seasonal outdoor municipal pool, its temperature is typically unheated and varies naturally with the ambient air conditions during the summer months when it is open.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool are mixed, with long-term members (20+ years) praising it as amazing, highlighting easy access to management and board members, and commending their efforts to ensure a safe environment. However, significant negative feedback, particularly from a former employee and other members, points to serious issues. These include the pool frequently not staying open for a full season with no compensation for members, consistent struggles with pool chemicals and function leading to unsafe conditions (e.g., water turning opaque white), and accusations of disguising problems and underinvesting in maintenance (e.g., a broken pump used for an entire summer). There are also concerns about poor staff retention due to overworking and underpaying young lifeguards, making the pool a potential 'health hazard'. Additionally, members report unpredictable closing times not adhering to posted hours and frequent closures for service, making the annual membership, which can be around $1,000 for the first year, seem overpriced given the described problems.

The fact that people are bashing the pool when they don’t have a membership is insane. I’ve been a member for most of my life, and it’s been nothing but amazing. If you have an issue the manager is easy to get a hold of, and board members are usually there if you can’t get the manager.

the graham pool cannot stay open even sort of a full season any year, and there is also no compensation to members for that. Their pool chemicals and their pool function struggles continues to not facilitate a shut down until it is clear to the public eye that it must be fixed, whether that be the safety hazard is too clear to the public, or that the pool chemicals have been off for so long that the water turned the kind of white you cannot see through (2021?). Incredibly dangerous toward the public health, honestly making the drive to any other pool is worth it than “buying a portion” of the pool, for a starting price of around a grand for a first year seasonal membership.And on top of that, they disguise any pool issues they have and do everything in their power to not invest in the boards own pool. The pool pump was broken for almost an entire summer, and they kept it open and used a pump that would only do a decent job on an above ground Walmart pool. They also cannot keep staff because they overwork and underpay children to the degree of consistent falling asleep on stand with sunny’s on. Sincerely, someone who worked there for three consecutive years. This pool is a walking health hazard.

Pool looks nice, not a lot to choose from when it comes to pools around here because they stay crowded. Found this one online today just to see its members only but evidently from the reviews in a bad place. Sounds like it should be public.

I have been a member for 20+ years. The pool manager and board work together to ensure a safe pool and environment for all members and guests.

Never know when it closes due to closing early and not following posted hours. One time fee is annual fee. Constantly closed for service.
