About
Relaxed local pool featuring a diving board, along with several slides and a lazy river.
Specific pool temperatures for the Odessa Aquatic Center are not readily published or consistently available, as is common for outdoor public aquatic facilities that primarily rely on natural heating from the sun.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives mixed reviews, with many patrons praising its family-friendly atmosphere, cleanliness, and diverse amenities. Positive aspects include a good size pool with deep ends for slides and diving boards, shallow areas with play equipment for younger children, and a wading entrance for littles and the elderly. Features like a lazy river, high dive, and various slides are frequently mentioned. The pool is also noted for its great seating, the availability of swimming lessons with attentive lifeguards, and the option to rent the facility for private events. However, significant complaints revolve around operational issues and staff behavior. Several visitors experienced failed visits due to slides not being open, inattentive staff, or, most notably, lifeguards attempting to close the pool early by asking or even paying teenage patrons to leave before the scheduled closing time, often under false pretenses like an impending storm. This perceived mismanagement and poor customer service have led to extreme disappointment for some, especially concerning the limited open hours and staff's decision-making.

Small but wonderful local pool. We love this pool. The size is great for us. It offers deep ends with slides and diving boards for big kids and shallow ends with play equipment for littles. They also have great seating for adults and families.

This place is wonderful! Very nice and clean pool. They have a wading entrance that is great for littles or elderly. They have a lazy river, high dive, and several slide choices. We went for a private birthday party! You can rent out the whole pool after it is closed for an event. It was so nice. The kids enjoyed splashing around and I loved the big slide.

This pool is awesome. Kid-friendly for all ages! We often come and swim as a family and this year we signed up the kiddos for swimming lessons. They just finished their second night of swimming lessons and we could not be more pleased. The lifeguards are great at keeping the little ones entertained while watching out for the new swimmers as they got the hang of it! Nicely done. Will highly recommend.

We were here for a birthday party- my only minor complaint was that my 7-yr-old couldn't go down a water slide with her floaties on (even if I caught her at the bottom).

My initial complaint is for today's events from trying to attend the Odessa pool. But after 3 FAILED visits I don't feel like any of the visits here have been what they should have been for what few hours they are open and the amount of staff they have here when they are open. There's either no slides open or there's no one paying attention when they are at their designated watchtowers. And after today's events and they're willing to pay off children to leave so they can go home early! I'm extremely upset and disappointed with how this place is being run if teenagers are able to make these decisions that affect not only business but the overall customer experience, which from my experience has been extremely poor! After getting there slightly after 1:00 today until right around 3:00 (after the two buses of small children had left) the lifeguards started going around to the teenagers still there; asking them if they would leave so they could get off early. I told them no we have friends coming around 3:30 and can't get here sooner. Plus we were dropped off when the pool opened today and don't even have a pick up ride until 5:30! However, then they started to say it was going to storm which it isn't (please see current weather screenshot). Meanwhile they gave a dollar to about half of the kids left behind so they could get some chips and go ahead and leave the pool. Regardless we still had to go and now we're waiting on a ride and sitting at the park in the meantime I called the line to speak with somebody in charge at the pool; who was very courteous but had no real answers other than if it's less than 10 people they make that judgment call which there was at least 12 to 15 when they started asking people to leave. This is my third trip to this pool this summer as a guardian of the two teens I am watching over who have season passes and added me on as a part-time pass.
