About
The Rotunda Pool is an indoor aquatic facility often associated with the Downtown Newark YMCA. While the user-provided address for the Rotunda Pool is Seventh Avenue, Newark, NJ 07104, it is generally considered part of or closely linked to the YMCA's main Downtown Newark facility at 600 Broad Street. The pool serves as a community resource, providing space for swimming, lessons, and water-based fitness activities.
Specific temperature details for the Rotunda Pool are not publicly available. However, aquatic facilities like the YMCA typically maintain their lap pools at temperatures around 78-82°F (25.5-27.8°C) for active swimming. If an additional instructional or therapeutic pool is present, it is often kept warmer, usually between 86-90°F (30-32°C), to facilitate learning and comfort.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Rotunda pool is generally praised as a clean, well-maintained community asset with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Reviewers appreciate the views of Branch Brook Park and the ease of access for Newark residents (requiring ID and sign-in). Important rules include wearing proper swimwear (swimsuits, mesh shorts for kids) and swim caps for women. Some suggestions for improvement include providing lockers, consistently stocking bathrooms with soap and toilet paper, and potentially implementing a summer lunch program for residents waiting to enter.

The community pool is well maintained. While you enjoy the pool. Great view of Branch Brook Park basketball courts. Downfall there are no lockers. Bathrooms needs to be stocked with soap and toilet paper. The summer lunch program should be implemented to the community residents. As they wait on the line to enter the pools. Just a thought. Over all rotunda pool is an asset to the community.
