About

The Second Avenue Swimming Pool, located at 1102 2nd Ave in Lake Charles, LA, is a public outdoor community swimming facility operated by the City of Lake Charles. It typically operates seasonally during the summer months, offering open swim sessions, swimming lessons, and often serving as a popular local spot for recreational aquatic activities.

Specific temperature information for the pool is generally not published. As an outdoor community pool in Lake Charles, LA, it is typically unheated, and its water temperature fluctuates with the ambient air temperature and prevailing weather conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The public pools are highly praised for their affordability, with a low $1 entrance fee and $1 swim lessons offered during the summer. Reviewers consistently highlight the staff as professional, friendly, vigilant, and helpful, providing safety advice, assisting with gear, and promptly addressing concerns. The facilities are noted as clean and well-maintained, allowing swimmers extended access. However, a recurring issue with the swim lessons is that some children stay for extended periods (e.g., all 3 hours), which limits participation for others and hinders consistency and advancement for those unable to join.

This is a wonderful public pool. The entrance fee is only $1.00, a bargain. The staff is professional and friendly. They are vigilant and provide advice and direction to keep the swimmers safe. The changing area was clean and well maintained. A delightful public service.

The staff and the manager are very kind & professional. I saw a situation and complained to the supervisor and asked him ‘ is this happening in AMERICA? He agreed with me and started taking action on it immediately. Hope I don’t see that situation again at any of our public pools. Regards to all…My apologies… If I bothered anyone… I support keeping America GREAT. No politics.

The city pools in lake charles offers swim lessons during the summer for $1 at 9,10 and 11. I've taken my kid regularly. However, I'm not a fan that some kids stay the whole 3hrs because others get turned around who didn't get in the water. I get 1st come 1st serve but when they don't leave, that hinders others. Nobody's gonna be a master swimmer when they stay 3hrs in the same class and never advance because they're not consistent in attendance. Idc what anyone says.
