About

Relaxed aquatics center offering a range of swim classes for all ages in multiple pools, plus a splash area.

Specific pool temperatures for the Marion Pool are not consistently published. As an outdoor public facility, its water temperature naturally fluctuates with ambient air temperature and weather conditions throughout its operational season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally receives very positive feedback, especially for families and children. Reviewers consistently praise the pool's cleanliness, warmth, and relaxing atmosphere, noting that it's often not overly crowded. The lifeguards are frequently highlighted as attentive, responsive, and dedicated, with special mention of instructors Molly and Wes creating a fun environment for swim lessons. The facility is considered excellent for little ones, featuring a kitty pool, two training pools, and a splash pad, with instructors doing a nice job. Other positives include spacious locker rooms and ample parking. The main drawbacks are a lack of chairs and the dated condition of the bathrooms and locker rooms, which some reviewers understand given the city's statement that the pool is nearing the end of its life. A minor point noted by some is that lifeguards sometimes act like teachers.

We get pool passes annually and take swimming lessons here. The pool is clean and the lifeguards are attentive. I appreciate that there is one on the stand and another walking around. We typically stay hours at a time with no issues. Parents/Caregivers and kids are generally respectful even on crowded days. Giving only 4 stars due to lack of chairs and the bathroom/locker room areas not being in the best condition. The city has said that the pool has almost reached the end of its life so I do understand why the facilities haven't been updated. Overall, we have had a very positive experience during the summer at this pool. Shout out to Molly and Wes for always being upbeat and setting a fun vibe during swimming lessons!

the life guards act like teachers, but otherwise the pool is nice, warm, clean and relaxing. Their kitty pool isn’t to deep and is perfect for kiddos. Life guards are responsive and attentive, but again act like teachers.

Love the Marion pool, appreciate the staff always staying so my family can swim despite number in pool or temps. Other local pools close for any reason. These guys are always dedicated, and it means so much. Really appreciate the lifeguards here.
