About
Recreation facility for swimming and fitness classes offering an indoor track and a pool.
Specific pool temperatures for facilities operated by Pontiac Parks & Recreation are not readily published online. For the most current and accurate information regarding pool temperatures, it is recommended to contact the Pontiac Community Recreation Center or the relevant aquatic facility directly.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility receives mixed reviews. Many patrons praise the friendly staff and atmosphere, specifically commending Linda at the front desk. The indoor pool is appreciated for year-round swimming, offering both adult and open swim times, and is noted as beneficial for seniors' mobility, alongside the track. However, significant criticisms include staff taking a long time or cutting kids' swim sessions short. There is strong dissatisfaction regarding what some perceive as 'dumb' and overly strict rules, such as a 15+ age restriction for the workout area and balcony (even with adult supervision), and stringent swimwear policies that prohibit wearing shirts in the pool. These strict rules have caused some individuals and families to stop visiting, leading to a perception that the facility has become 'boring' and is in need of change.

Friendly staff, friendly patrons. They feature adult swim (no lifeguard, no kids) and open swim (lifeguards available). Times change and extend for the summer, and thd pool is indoors so winter swimming is a thing. Can't complain.

The Expo Fair was well worth the drive down from Joliet. Thank you vendors and sponsors.

Took the kids to the pool! It was nice, the only downfall was the staff took their sweet time getting back in place and then cut the kids time short in the end.

I stopped going to this place for awhile because of the dumb rules they had for the workout and the balcony it says the you have to be 15 years old to do all of that and I have no idea or clue why. I get bored of pool sometimes so I used to go to the balcony to workout but the after some time a staff told me and my friends couldn't be up there. This place had a party one time and I was around 11 years old around this time and me and my friends were walking on the balcony and then again after awhile of doing so a staff told us we couldn't be up there and the same case happened with my mom and little brother they were walking around the balcony and he was around 8 or 7 years old and he wanted to be with his mother because he was alone and no one was there to look after him because me and my friends were in the pool and he didn't want to swim so my mother and brother were walking and a staff said that he couldn't be up there even when he had a adult to accompany him. And I also don't like the fact about "swimming wear" see I'm a insecure kid and when I swim,I swim with a shirt on and so does my friend, I never got bothered about my swimming wear but my friend's family did a lot, apparently you have to wear shorts that are specifically meant for swimming and you can't wear a shirt in the pool at all and ever since then they haven't gone there and neither have I. There's a lot that needs to change about this place the rec center used to be so fun for me when I was young but now it's just straight up boring now.
