What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviewers have mixed feelings about the pool, noting both positive aspects and significant areas for improvement. On the positive side, some enjoy the pool itself, particularly the water walking, and find the lifeguards to be nice. However, common complaints include the pool's early closing times, especially on hot evenings, leading to a lack of night swim options. Several visitors find the pool too small, leading to a cramped experience, and one comparison mentions it has fewer slides than another local pool.

Offer a night swim every evening. Do your swim lessons and water walk in the morning. Today it's 92 outside at 5:00 pm, and there's no pool to go to in this town. All closed up for the evening or offering services that excludes 99% of the population. What's up with that? Is Jesus gonna get mad, and send "y'all" to hell for swimming in the evening, or what?

Decent pool for what it offers, could use a few upgrades and improvements. Spent the day with my 4 kiddos. Watched a lifeguard (whom I'm assuming was suppose to be on watch for the kid area) was hiding in the shade sitting on their preserver watched them take their whistle off and proceeded to enjoy their sit. Seems management tried to handle it but we will not be returning seeing that's the attitude of the lifeguard there.

It’s not at all a bad pool. I do wish that it was larger so that I didn’t feel so cramped when my family and I go for a swim here. The restrooms are always dirty and just walking through them to even get to the pool area always grossed me out, so that could definitely be improved, but otherwise it’s normally a fun day in the sun when we all visit.

I love this pool. I love the water walking. The guards are all nice kids. I only wish there were more chairs. I've had knee replacements, so it's a problem if I don't get a chair.
