About
Freddie Benavides Pool, located at 2201 Zacatecas St, Laredo, TX, is a small, 25-yard indoor swimming facility. It is a popular year-round destination primarily used for lap swimming and competitive training, serving as a training hub for programs like the Laredo Heat Aquatics. The facility has a capacity of 50 people.
The Freddie Benavides Pool is known to be a heated facility, allowing for year-round use. However, the specific, exact temperature of the pool water is not publicly disclosed by the city or facility management. Heated pools for lap swimming typically maintain temperatures within a comfortable range, often between 78-82°F (25.5-27.7°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This new pool complex in South Laredo is widely regarded as a much-needed and enjoyable attraction, featuring a huge main pool, a big lazy river (requiring tubes), and two fun water slides (one open, one enclosed). Visitors appreciate its overall entertainment value, good pricing, and the new allowance for bringing in outside food and soft drinks. However, several significant issues were raised: a highly criticized re-entry policy requiring guests to leave at 3 PM and pay again to return at 3:30 PM, often without prior notification; insufficient shaded seating; observations of young and sometimes unprofessional staff; and maintenance concerns including broken cement and debris in the main pool. Additionally, safety inspections conducted after opening hours lead to delays in attractions like the slides becoming operational. Despite these drawbacks, it's generally recommended as a fun destination for families.

The pool was finally completed after so many years of delays due to unnecessary circumstances. The place is definitely a must go and a much needed attraction in South Laredo. The main pool is really huge. The lazy river is big and so much fun to go around. The only drawback to it is you have to sit on top of a tube and float around it that way. They have 2 big slides that are so much fun. One is open and the other is enclosed so you slide in total darkness. Both are so much fun. The kids will definitely enjoy them over and over again. They also have some table and chairs but they could have used some more with shade of course. Overall it's a must see. You will enjoy.

Great pool, great slides, great price, and employees. The only complaint is that they will KICK YOU OUT at 3 then RECHARGE you to come back in at 3:30. We got there at 2 and had to leave at 3 i wish they would inform you about this before you pay there was families that literally came in for 10 min and had to leave because they were not willing to pay again. Plus they were not informed that they will get kicked at 3 and recharged. Im sure they would have rather waited 30 min to go in than pay for literally 10 min. The employees are young and unprofessional but its to be expected they are young. Overall great pool very clean and fun.

Very nice upgrade to this pool I only had a problem with the following items there are several spots at the the bottom of the main pool that need attention cement is already broken in the bottom. And cleaning of the main pool needs to improve grass and insects floating on top and at the bottom. On this particular day I went in and my kids were excited to use theawesome slides. When We got here at 12pm they were not done with their Inspection checks until 1:15pm. Im all for safety but These checks should be done before the establishment opens up and not during. Other than that its pretty badass.
