About
Oceanway Pool, located at 12215 Sago Ave W in Jacksonville, FL, is a public outdoor swimming facility operated by the City of Jacksonville. It typically operates during the summer months, offering a main swimming pool and a separate wading pool for younger children, and hosts various activities like open swim and lessons.
Specific temperature information for the pool(s) at Oceanway Pool is not readily available through public sources. As an outdoor public facility, its temperature would generally fluctuate with the ambient weather conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool are mixed, but predominantly negative due to recurring issues. Several patrons describe the lifeguards as rude, disrespectful, and prone to using profanity, yelling, and inconsistently enforcing rules, with some feeling that children are unfairly targeted. A significant and repeated complaint across multiple reviews is the extreme dirtiness and filthiness of the bathrooms, along with trash found on the pool deck. Conversely, some positive feedback highlights the pool itself as nice, refreshing, amazing, and super fun, with the diving board being a popular attraction. Swim lessons also receive positive mention, and one reviewer specifically praised the lifeguards as 'awesome'. Despite the positive aspects of the pool facility, the cleanliness and lifeguard conduct are major deterrents for many reviewers.

Wednesday July 30th 3pm. Two girl lifeguards and 4 guy lifeguard soon as we got there the two girls were loud, cussing and complaining about the heat in front of kids. I understand the lifeguards are young but they are very disrespectful and RUDE. Girl lifeguard had it out for my daughter I don’t know why but she complained to my daughter that she took too many “showers” before and after the pool. They told my daughter no goggles but the girl lifeguard had goggles on. These kids working at the pool act like they hate it there so they pick on anyone that comes. Pool is supposed to be a fun safe little spot and these lifeguards are on a power trip and target kids to pick on. We won’t be back. Also the pool and bathroom are so DIRTY!

Lifeguards are rude! You can’t swim with a shirt on. Kids can’t play with pool noodles but the lifeguards can horse play and play with the lifeguard bouys. Oh and the pool don’t open to 1pm during the summer. Oh I forgot about the amount of profanity from the lifeguards as well. Could be nice but do not recommend.

The life guards on duty are awesome. My youngest is in swim lessons and he loves it. Plus, the diving board is fun

Pool is nice and refreshing. But the bathrooms are Filthy and very dirty. The pool deck also has socks and other trash all over by the bleachers and in bathrooms. Each lifeguard has their own way of talking to people...
