Public pool with a Sesame Street-themed mini water feature.

Specific temperature information for Hetzel Pool is not readily available. As a standard outdoor municipal pool, its water temperature typically fluctuates with ambient weather conditions and is generally not artificially heated to a fixed level.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives mixed reviews. Positive aspects highlighted include its new and upgraded facilities, great location next to a park, and being free, making it suitable for families. Some visitors praise the lifeguards for being attentive and enforcing rules. However, several criticisms were noted: conflicting reports describe lifeguards as disrespectful and unable to control children's splashing. Other common complaints include a lack of personal lockers, bathrooms needing updates, excessive restrictions (including a demanding swim test for deeper areas and frequent whistle blowing), and poor customer service, with reports of unanswered calls and rude staff.

The pool itself is comparatively new and upgraded. They do not have personal lockers for use and the bathrooms could use some fresh paint ECT. However, the life guards are attentive and make sure children and participants abide by rules. It's a great pool next to a great park ( canal, baseball field, play ground). Good time for the entire family.

Worst pool. The lifeguards are no good and disrespectful. They can't keep control of the kids splashing water in faces. Also In order to swim in deeper area they make you swim a lap then make you dog paddle non stop for atleast 1 minute at the end which is unheard of in any pools. Too many restrictions even as an adult. The City needs to look into this.
