About

Swimming pool with lifeguards and showers.

Specific information regarding the exact temperature of the pool(s) at Jefferson Swimming Pool is not consistently or readily published on public-facing sources. Public outdoor pools typically maintain a comfortable temperature suitable for recreational swimming, often influenced by ambient weather conditions, but a precise, stated temperature is generally not provided.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this facility are mixed, highlighting both positive and significant negative experiences. On the positive side, visitors enjoy the fun slide and new rock wall, appreciating the overall experience, especially during summer for those in the Jefferson area. The pool offers various depths (shallow, regular, deep), and some reviewers found the lifeguards and general atmosphere to be nice. However, there are notable complaints, particularly regarding lifeguard conduct; some are described as socializing during swimming lessons instead of instructing, being scared to get wet, or even becoming aggressive, cursing, and attempting to fight patrons over splashing. Other issues include the slide being temporarily closed due to cracking, limited availability of seating spots for eating, and showers not lasting long. A prominent operational concern is the inaccurate Google hours, which has led to confusion among visitors expecting the facility to be open during the off-season.

I've only been there for my son's swimming lessons. The teenage lifeguards seem only interested in socializing and not actually instructing, at least in level 1. I've had to tell the instructors to show the kids the technique instead of just watching them. It's very frustrating.

Overall great experience if you're within the jefferson area in the summer. Slide was closed last year near the end of season due to it cracking or something, but that's to be expected with a slide eventually to be honest. Has a regular end and a deep end and a shallow end. Two complaints is how last year all the sitting spots for eating were taken up during a few visits, but that's not too much of a bother, but also how the Google hours show they never close during non pool season. I tried going the other day because it said it's open but was told it opens June 1st, confused a woman and her family with the same issue as well when we went to leave. Besides all that I'll end my long review here by saying you should probably update your page hours on google.

Very nice! Also the life guards are nice. Showers don’t last long but other than that it’s pretty decent!

Very terrible. Life guards are scared to get wet. We got kicked out because they got splashed and one of them tried to fight us and started cussing in front of little kids.
