About

The Harrison Bruce Aquatic Center, located at 1013 N 5th St, Herrin, IL 62948, USA, is a public indoor aquatic facility. It features an 8-lane lap pool for swimming and training, a dedicated warm water therapy pool, a leisure pool for recreational activities, and a hot tub, serving the community with diverse aquatic options.

The warm water therapy pool is typically maintained at approximately 90-92°F (32-33°C). The 8-lane lap pool is kept cooler for vigorous swimming, generally around 78-82°F (25.5-27.8°C). The leisure pool is usually maintained at a comfortable recreational temperature, often around 80-84°F (26.7-28.9°C), and the hot tub is kept warmer, typically 100-104°F (37.8-40°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed view of the pool's offerings. Many patrons, especially children, found it to be a fun and inexpensive attraction, highlighting the enjoyment of the water slides and the convenience of a snack bar, with some praising the cleanliness and staff. However, significant concerns were raised, including a reported drowning incident where lifeguard response was criticized as slow and dismissive, rules prohibiting floaties on slides, a refusal to open the pool on a hot day, and descriptions of the pool water as warm and dirty by some users.

Of course fun but I think it’s ridiculous you can’t go down the slides with floaties! And today a boy was drowning and I’m yelling for them to help him and how dare the lady come up to me and say she knows he’s drowning! What in the world is wrong with you people ?! We were both yelling he yelled 4 times for help ! Watch your kids people review went down and the pool was warm and dirty
