About
The Tarboro Community Pool, located at 400 Porter St, Tarboro, NC 27886, USA, is a seasonal outdoor public swimming facility. It serves the local community by offering recreational swimming opportunities for all ages, typically operating during the summer months. The pool is managed by the Town of Tarboro and provides a space for leisure, exercise, and often includes amenities like lap swimming areas, a shallow end, and potentially a deep end with a diving board, all supervised by lifeguards.
Specific, consistently published temperature information for the Tarboro Community Pool is not readily available. As an outdoor public facility, its water temperature is generally subject to ambient weather conditions and natural solar warming, rather than being actively heated to a fixed temperature.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for this facility are mixed, highlighting both positive and negative experiences. Positive feedback frequently mentions the cleanliness of the facility, the presence of large pools including a kids' pool and an 11-foot diving pool, and generally friendly staff and awesome instructors. However, there are serious complaints regarding staff conduct and safety. One review describes a near-drowning incident due to negligent lifeguards, while another details an incident of alleged racial and pregnancy discrimination where a pregnant woman was asked to leave for her attire. There's also a report of children having money stolen and staff failing to provide assistance. A common suggestion for improvement across several reviews is the need for more shaded seating areas.

Big pool. I counted about 40 people in the pool and there was still enough room to swim and play. They also have a kids pool and a really cool 11 foot deep diving pool! There's a consession stand with snacks and cold drinks, and the staff are friendly. Needs more shaded spots to sit.

They are racist at this pool, my daughter went to this pool today, and she is pregnant. She had on a t-shirt & shorts, not a bathing suit; and she was ask to leave because they said a customer made a complaint saying she was showing too much which was her stomach. Last I checked its a pool, if people are allowed to wear 2 piece bathing suit, then why cant you wear a short t- shirt and some shorts. I know if she was white, she wouldnt had been asked to leave & she said that's the race that was mainly there. I am appalled that she was discriminated against for being pregnant and having her stomach out, but u had people there that had their butt cheeks out. I will rather see a person's stomach rather than their butt. This world we live in, but all yall racist folks would face judgment day one day, in front of God. Forget Tarboro Pool & the racist staff that made that decision, my child doesn't have to come there anymore and spend her money.

It's clean and my kids love it.. I scored it low because my children got their money stolen... No one attempted to help them recover their money
