About

Clean public swimming venue with a shallow area for babies and toddlers.

Specific daily pool temperatures for Wade McLean Pool are generally not publicly listed. As an outdoor public pool in Tucson, it is typically maintained at a comfortable temperature suitable for recreational swimming during its operational summer season, often relying on ambient heat and standard pool management.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfortable temperature, and amenities like a fun water slide and great lap lanes. Visitors appreciate the attentive lifeguards, adequate staff, and the availability of life jackets. It's considered a good venue for parties and events, offering grass space for shade. Additional positives include clean bathrooms and the occasional food truck. However, recurring downsides are a significant lack of seating (chairs/benches) and limited shade. One review also noted that swim time is sometimes cut short for practice without compensation.

Really nice pool. Lots of grass space for shade tents during swim meets. Bathrooms are pretty clean. Food truck was a welcome perk.

It's a great pool, however, there are no chairs. There are 3 or 4 small metal benches and that's it. I'm not sure if chairs are allowed but that's the only thing making this pool a bummer to visit. The pool is clean, a comfortable temperature, and has adequate staff.

Love going to this pool! So much fun! Fun slide and great lap lanes! Only downfall is they stop the swim time to practice and don't make up that time. Also, no chairs or much shade.
