About
Public swimming pool with an area for kids, a slide, and a diving board.
Specific pool temperatures for the Indianola Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center are not readily available in public descriptions. As a seasonal outdoor facility, the water temperature is generally maintained for comfortable recreational swimming during operating hours.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Overall, reviews for the facility are largely positive, highlighting it as a great public pool for all ages with quality, affordable swim lessons and a fun concession stand. Specific events like the card boat race and "Toddle Time" for younger children also received praise, with staff often described as nice and helpful. However, one significant negative experience details strict and inconsistently applied rules regarding Public Displays of Affection (PDA). A customer was scolded for a simple 'peck on the lips,' leading to discomfort and anxiety. They were later informed that *all* forms of affection, including hand-holding, are now prohibited due to recent issues, but these new rules are not posted anywhere, causing frustration and a decision not to return.

The pool is a great place to spend the summer! Our younger kids are taking swim lessons there and they are quality and affordable. Plenty of area for the young kids to have fun as well as the older kids. And a fun concession stand as well.

Our family is thankful Indianola has a great public pool. Afton is always extremely helpful with any questions or concerns we have.

My husband gave me a peck on the lips and we got scolded by a life guard saying that this is a "family place" and that's not appropriate. There is not a single spot that says no PDA. I am a stickler for rules, so I read the rules every time I enter the pool to ensure that we follow them. I did not feel comfortable to be in any area that lifeguard was near he kept glaring at us even when we were no longer in his zone. I ended up having an anxiety attack. Later when we were leaving I asked the person at the front desk, she said that they recently had been having problems with PDA so now they are being extremely strict and not allowing any form of affection including hand holding. These new rules were not posted anywhere, how are we to obey the rules when we do not know all the rules and when they are subject to change on a wim. I understand the need to be cautious of what you allow because there are children present but a literal peck is just that a peck it was not inappropriate. A pool is a public place not a school or a summer camp. It's ok to wear extremely small bikinis but not hold hands with your spouse? (I don't have a problem with bikinis it's just to make a point) Needless to say we will not be coming back anytime soon. The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is the lady at the desk was helpful and kind when she told me about the recent PDA issues.

My daughter and I took my 2 year old grandson to Toddle Time today! What a great time we had and the staff was so nice and worked well with The Littles! My grandson loved the big slide! We will take him back! We had as much fun as he did I think! 🥰
