About

Public pool featuring a deep end, plus kiddie pools with slides and a snack bar.

The main competition pool is typically maintained at a comfortable 78-80°F (25-27°C) for lap swimming and competitive use. The warm-water therapy pool is heated to a higher temperature, usually around 90-92°F (32-33°C), ideal for therapeutic and leisure activities.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility generally receives praise for its well-maintained activity and lap pools, with the lap pool being noted as excellent for year-round swimming and a small children's section available. However, there are significant complaints regarding the activity pool's limited and inconvenient hours (e.g., 12-4 PM), which many find impractical given the heat. A major point of contention is the strict lightning policy, which often leads to pool closures without offering refunds or vouchers, causing customers to feel their money has been stolen. Additionally, some reviews mention issues with rude staff, restrictive rules (such as the lap pool being frequently blocked for laps, leaving no play area for older children), and a ban on coolers.

The activity pool is nice, but the hours are insanely backwards. Being often open only from 12-4 is like saying your toddler will not only need to skip their nap, but we would also like them to suffer hear stroke. Seriously, what are you guys thinking? If the timing were to help people without AC, they wouldn't be charging an admission fee. Backwards.

Pool and activity pool are nice. That's where it ends. Staff and rules are insane. I hope my tax dollars don't support this. They block off the big pool for swimming laps at all times so anyone over 7 has no place to play.. Also is Florida.. If there is lightning within 50 miles they close pool. They do not give you a refund or a voucher for another day. They just steal your money. It's been 2 hours since they stole my money after playing for 15 minutes. The pool is still closed and it still has not rained or lightening. Very rediculous. Staff was super rude.

Well maintained activity pool with a smaller water slide than at Jack McLean. The lap pool is large with a deep end. No coolers allowed!
