About

Public swimming pool offering 2-dollar admission.

Specific information regarding the exact temperature of the pool(s) at Johnny Jacobs Pool is not generally advertised or publicly available. Like many public recreational pools, it is typically either unheated or minimally heated to a comfortable ambient temperature for swimming, which can vary based on weather conditions and operational practices.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool facility are generally positive, highlighting its cleanliness, the attentiveness of lifeguards, and its suitability for families and children, especially during hot weather. Entry costs $2 per swimmer and $1 per spectator, with amenities like restrooms, showers, and free swim vests available. The pool is 4.5 feet deep at its deepest, and outside food/drinks are not permitted. While many had a great experience, noting that the pool can reach capacity, some issues were raised. One reviewer cautioned about a slippery entrance at the water splash park. A significant negative point was a broken card reader preventing a family from swimming, leading to frustration and questions about paying for a "public pool."

I went on a Sunday at around 1:30pm with no issues. $2 per swimmer and $1 per spectator. There are restrooms with showers. No food or drinks allowed into the pool area. The pool was very clean and did not smell like chlorine at all. There were two lifeguards on duty and they were very attentive and made sure everyone was being safe. The pool is 4.5 feet at the deepest part (the middle). There are swim vests available to borrow as well (I believe they were free). No pool lounge chairs, only benches and metal picnic tables. As I was leaving the pool was at capacity, therefore there were some ppl waiting outside to get in. Just a heads up. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Great for the kids, especially this summer being so hot. Just be careful when walking in the water splash park it is slippery at the entrance.

Couldn't go swimming because I only had enough with change and the card reader wasn't working. My friends daughter is in tears now. Thanks for wasting our time. Do better! Website states that its a public pool. When do you pay for public pools?
