About
Pool at the local YMCA featuring diving boards, a waterslide and a shallow end.
Specific pool temperatures for the Fort Madison Public Pool are not consistently published or widely advertised. As a typical outdoor public swimming facility, the water temperature is generally maintained at a comfortable level for recreational swimming during its operational summer months, often influenced by ambient weather conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews paint a mixed picture of the pool facilities. Many users praise it as a great, safe, and family-friendly place with fun features like a slide, diving boards, and distinct areas for toddlers and deeper swimming. Staff are often commended for being professional, dedicated to safety, and respectful. However, significant negative feedback points to issues with staff rudeness, particularly lifeguards who frequently blow whistles, which some users found disruptive to fun and play. A specific complaint was raised about the YMCA Fort Madison Pool's Mom & Tot swim classes, where a child's fear and crying were reportedly ignored, leading to a disheartening and disappointing experience.

Great place to take the family to cool off and have fun. Nice deep end for going off the diving boards and equally nice toddler area. The slide is fun and just the right size. Pool personnel are professional and dedicated to safety.

This is a very family friendly pool. My oldest loved the slide and my 3 year old could hop & paddle around the shallow end of the "big pool." They also have a decent sized baby pool to toddle around in.

Super disappointed in the YMCA Fort Madison Pool for Mom & Tot swim classes. My son is absolutely terrified to be on his back and front, hence the swim lessons, but instead of helping and assisting and trying to make him feel better we were ignored and isolated. The only lifeguard who showed him any attention was Mikey who held our first lesson. Everyone else ignored us because he was crying. Will never go again, didnt even go to the last week of classes. Waste of money and extremely disheartening. 😔ðŸ˜

The life guards are rude. Cant really play and have fun bc they they constantly blow the whistle at you. We thought ot would be a fun place to bring kids to play and have fun, but it wasnt. Will not be returning.
