About

Family-friendly aquatic center featuring a lap pool, plus areas for kids.

The main Olympic-size pool at the Fort Myers Aquatic Center is heated to a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit, while the dedicated kiddie pool is kept warmer at 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The aquatic center is praised for its excellent and well-kept facilities, including a pool with a good temperature and manageable chlorine levels ideal for lap swimming, and very clean bathrooms. Staff are generally noted as friendly and attentive, and admission is inexpensive. Amenities include a lap pool with stadium seating, slides, a sunken playground, a shallow area for babies, picnic tables, and lounge chairs. However, significant concerns were raised regarding safety and security, particularly concerning disruptive children from a daycare group, a lack of effective staff supervision (especially by slides), and instances of altercations. There were also complaints about a lack of enforcement regarding proper swim attire/modesty, leading some visitors to express dissatisfaction and reluctance to return.

Great facilities. Pool is well kept. The temperature of the water is kept nice and chilly which makes it perfect for lap swimming. The chlorine is also kept at a very manageable level so the smell of chlorine is not strong. The bathrooms are well kept and very clean. The staff is friendly and very attentive.

Surprised that not so many good reviews there. For sport/fitness swimming this is a perfect place, good water, not so many people at the opening at 9am on Wednesday, shower, changing room all good. 5$for 1 hour swim🐋

I am currently a frequent visitor with my daughter, friends, birthdays. I am really considering if I even want to return. I do not agree that people in bathing suits should not be wearing minimal covering especially when children are present. They may be ok with their own children seeing that but I wouldn’t let my daughter see anything of that as long as I am able to. Please enforce a rule so everyone is properly covered.

The staff overall was not an issue. HOWEVER security there is TERRIBLE!!!!! Does absolutely nothing to keep anyone safe. We had MULTIPLE issues with a DAYCARE group because their kids were pushing and shoving my 1 YEAR OLD and me as they were running around and trying to go down the slide. There was NO STAFF by the slide making sure kids are staying safe, after a big altercation and my sister speaking to managent they placed a staff to manage the slide. However, the staff was allowing other children to push, skip, and go down the slide unsafe (head down first, laying on their stomach & so on). They ended up letting the daycare stay after some of the staff kept instigating, walking up to me screaming while my 1 year old is in my arms and one of the daycare staff having to be dragged away from us by another daycare staff. We chose to leave as it felt that no one seemed to care about the safety of all the children. The security guard walked away mid conversation between my sister and the manager to answer a phone call outside of the facility. I will NOT be going back and I dont suggest yall go either.

The aquatic center has a sunken playground for the young kids with a small shallow area for babies as well. There are picnic style tables with umbrellas and lounge chairs all around the kids' area with the concessions nearby. There are also slides for children 48 inches and taller in the larger lap pool area. As mentioned, there is a lap pool area for swimmers with stadium seating for competitions. There is a no food in policy but water is allowed. Admission is inexpensive and worth visiting for a few hours.
