Beaufort Pool

About

The Beaufort Pool refers to the Beaufort County Aquatic Center, located at 35 State Rd S-7-266, Beaufort, SC 29907. This facility is managed by the YMCA of Beaufort County in partnership with Beaufort County. It is a comprehensive aquatic center designed for various activities, including lap swimming, competitive events, swimming lessons, water therapy, and recreational family fun, serving the community with year-round aquatic programs and facilities.

The Beaufort County Aquatic Center typically maintains two main heated pools: an 8-lane, 25-yard competitive pool, generally kept at temperatures ranging from 79-81°F (26-27°C) for lap swimming, and a warm water therapy/instructional pool, usually maintained between 86-88°F (30-31°C) for lessons and therapeutic use. A splash pad is also available, which is typically unheated or only slightly warmed.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this facility are mixed. Positives include clean pools, excellent value for a year membership, and generally friendly and helpful staff. Many praise the swim lessons for older children, noting better progress and price compared to the YMCA. However, significant negatives include poorly run infant swimming classes where babies are constantly screaming due to incorrect teaching methods, a slow and inefficient sign-in process, and some staff members being overly strict and hostile towards children playing in the pool. Additionally, there's a complaint about the lack of public restroom access, specifically for bus drivers who previously had this privilege.
