The Jack McLean Aquatics Center in Tallahassee is a fantastic and clean swimming pool! Coming from a hometown without such facilities, I was impressed. The pool is staffed with attentive young lifeguards who keep a close watch on the children, which I really appreciated. Although I was uncertain about the driving directions from Georgia, we found it without much trouble. One suggestion for improvement would be extending the hours, especially during the summer. The bathrooms were just okay—not particularly impressive—but the staff were ready to clean them as soon as we left. The facility offers plenty of chairs and umbrellas, as well as clear signage around the pool. I noticed a park outside the building, but I didn’t have a chance to explore it. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: 🚨PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TO USE GOGGLES! Very important, the pool has a lot chlorine! Overall, it’s a great spot for a fun and safe swimming experience! Especially children!

My kids love it! The big lap pool was a blast, and felt wonderfully cold on a hot FL day. The kids had more fun here verses the other local splash park. They also have a very nice playground right next to the pools. Just wish the water didnt spray out so much and so hard on the little slide so my toddler could enjoy it more. Nevertheless, he still enjoyed sliding about 30 times in row lol. So glad tallahassee has water parks for the kids (and parents)♡ Most of the lifeguards are so nice and awesome. We love the lady with long curly blonde hair that we always see. She compliments my older son on how his swimming skills keep getting better, since this is his 1st yr learning to swim. We appreciate her and all the other amazing lifeguards.

Here on a Saturday, really nice vibe. As a former lifeguard, the ones here are on their jobs and there are plenty which is a really peaceful plus for parents. Kids were well-behaved and parents were supervising! Everything was working. Nice experience as a new Tallahassee resident!

This was my first time taking my kiddos to the pool here, but they've been coming on a weekly field trip and have talked so much about how much they love it. I like that it's a little less hectic and a little smaller than some of the other pools because it's easier to keep an eye on them. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The lifeguards were so great with the kids! They did a great job watching everyone, but would also occasionally goof around with the kids and splash at them.
