Great pool! We come weekly in the Summer. I appreciate the three different depth sections, divided by buoy rope, that allows me more peace of mind on my kids knowing the boundaries. The staff have always been kind and are very attentive, often interacting with the kids and remembering their names (some even remembering them from last year.) There is a small concession stand that offers some frozen treats, drinks, and chip items at reasonable prices. We've done the swim lessons two years in a row and I am deeply impressed and appreciative of the massive improvements I see in my kids, during and after. I highly recommend the Odell pool, whether you're from the area or just visiting. It's a great place to spend the hot days!

We used their area as a group camp site. They let us use the pool and facilities while they were open from noon to 7 pm. Only two bathrooms available at other times. Very nice Pavillion with electricity and picnic tables.

Nice small town pool, the locals are friendly and enjoyable. The kids on the diving board were kind enough to share it with a 59 year old and discuss the shortcomings of their diving board. Diving rules are interesting as the diving well is not closed to swimming while the diving board is in use. It is the divers responsibility to make sure the diving path is clear before diving. The pool itself is very old with a concrete gutter

This was a great stop at the pool park while riding across America. It was exactly as depicted, a pavilion with electric available to charge all my gadgets. It was quiet and I felt safe despite being alone. The pool staff were friendly and helpful.

We love taking the little ones here, it's a smaller family pool with a kiddie pool . The lifeguards are extremely attentive. The small concession stand has very reasonable pricing. We live about a half hour away, and the trip is always worthwhile. I can't wait to find a home in this small family oriented community.
