About
Clean swimming pool featuring diving boards and a slide with friendly staff.
Specific, advertised temperatures for the Follansbee City Swimming Pool are not readily available in public information. As a public outdoor pool, its temperature likely fluctuates with ambient weather conditions and is generally unheated or minimally heated, relying on natural warming from the sun.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Customers report a highly negative experience at this pool, citing numerous issues. Key complaints include extremely lazy and rude staff who are often observed not performing their duties, leading to the closure of amenities like diving boards. There are also significant grievances regarding the refusal to provide refunds for prematurely canceled swim meets, despite stated policies. Further dissatisfaction stems from overpriced admission and concessions, a strict no-outside-food-or-drink policy, and overall poor facility conditions, such as a non-heated and icy main pool, a closed baby pool, inadequate or inaccessible restrooms, and a limited number of lounge chairs. Many reviewers strongly advise against visiting this pool.

Waste of money, I recommend driving the extra 15 minutes and going to wells park pool. Diving boards were closed due to being “short staffed” however the 5 staff members that’s were working sat together right by the entrance talking instead of being spread around the pool at their stations. They literally all sat together right at the entrance talking the entire time. My kids were literally the only 3 people at the pool. If the workers would have actually been doing there job instead of sitting together talking the whole time then the diving boards could have easily been open, then they had the nerve to still take their “breaks” like clock work even though they were on break the entire time they were working. 5 workers literally sat together talking the ENTIRE time instead of actually working. Incredibly lazy group of women. Will absolutely never return to this pool and recommend anyone thinking about going just drive the few extra minutes and go to wells park

Will never go back to this pool again! We have recently had to travel here for 2 swim meets (1 hour one way), they ended up canceling after only a couple events both times then REFUSED TO GIVE A REFUND! Absolutely ridiculous considering in the email it said we would get a refund if we didn’t make it halfway through the meet which clearly we did not.
