About

Clean, public swimming pool that's good for kids.

Specific, publicly available daily pool temperatures for the Vandalia Swimming Pool are not consistently published. Public outdoor pools of this type are generally not heated to a specific constant temperature but rather fluctuate with ambient air and ground temperatures, usually warming to comfortable swimming levels during the summer operating season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool elicits mixed reactions. Many appreciate it as a good spot for meeting friends, highlighting free swim and kids' lunches on Wednesdays, and praising the attentive lifeguard staff. However, several users express significant disappointment following renovations, specifically lamenting the removal of diving boards and a high dive, which they feel has diminished the pool's unique appeal. Other criticisms include increased admission and season pass prices, reports of rude lifeguards, the requirement to exit the facility for eating or drinking, and the lack of family restrooms.

Good pool. Favorite spot. Free swim on Wednesday is nice. We are planning on purchasing a season pass, hopefully next year. We were gonna do it this year but life had other ideas. Oh and right across the street in the park on Wed .... free lunches for the kids. Its pretty handy and they are usually well packed lunches too

Alright pool, but they used to have 3 diving boards, and a nearly 15 foot tall high dive,, the Renovated, and for some stupid reason have removed it and lowered there low dives from 3ft to ground level. Used to be my favorite place to swim, but now it's just a pool like any other, nothing special. And they charge $4 per person when a few years back its was much less, and a summer pass is nearly 400 dollars, when it used to be under 200 this pool has gone down hill after renovation.

This pool is probably the best place to meet up with your friends, well that and the park, but lets face it the park can get boring after a while. The pool is just a cool and cheap place to hang and have fun!

Lifeguards were rude. To eat or drink anything you have to go outside of the whole place. No family restrooms.
