Lauderdale Lakes Swimming Pool

"Very nice pool, n very gud lessuuns"

"Awesome coaches. Extended season would be desirable. Equipment is in dire need of upgrade!"

"Update: experienced this pool in person, and it is wonderful, especially for children and elderly or disabled. There is a ramp leading into the pool, with a surface underfoot that is designed for traction. No worries about falling while descending the ramp. Also for those that need it, a water wheelchair is available. (2/10/23- I got a photo showing the ramp; just added it to this review!) The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They consist of 4-5 lifeguards, so there’s an over abundance of safety in this setting. The water temperature was pleasant- slightly warm. Access to the facility is also totally wheelchair friendly. The only drawback I experienced was the bathroom, although clean enough, wasn’t pristine. For example, grab-bars in the handicapped toilet stalls (there were two such stalls in the main bathroom) were dirty to the point that I didn’t want to touch them. Unfortunately the floor was not sloped towards the drain, and water was pooling on the floor. But the water on the floor did not stink. It also didn’t make the floor slippery. It was just an effort to change clothes and avoid getting things wet. (Update: I have only experienced this problem one time. Usually the bathroom floor is dry.) Open swim hours are M-F 1pm-4pm and Sat is 8am-Noon (often they hold a swim lesson program on Saturdays and open swim is not allowed.) There are also classes at other times- I am attaching a photo of the typical schedule. Admission is $2 per swim. Cards are accepted, not cash. There is no residency requirement to utilize the pool."

"Love this place! Both of our boys take swimming lessons here and all the lifeguards are amazing! Very friendly, extremely attentive, and great with kids, adults, and those with disabilities. Again the ENTIRE staff is amazing but since our boys swim with coach Polo & coach Bob we have a little extra love for them! They are wonderful and very patient. Although patient, they push them to become better swimmers."

"Chris focuses on arms and getting heart rate up. Keeps the rhythm up at all times. He's one of our favorite coaches for water aerobics."
