Berea Municipal Outdoor Pool

"Small, but clean and well staffed."

"Easy access, safe, practical and fun pool, set within a beautiful park (Coe Lake) with several other activities available including kayaking and fishing. A brand new and extended playground next to the pool and across from the police station make a safe, ideal, community location."

"I signed my 3 yr old son up for preschooler group swim lessons where they're supposed to teach the very basics of swimming in the 3 foot kiddie pool to kids who know nothing about swimming. We went once and will never go again. Two teenagers more interested in each other's social calendars than the preschoolers in their charge were assigned to teach 8 children. To begin they did nothing to learn each child's level of skill or experience in the water... never even bothered to ask their names. They gave the children a couple minutes to practice each skill but never actually looked to see if the children understood the instruction or were doing it at all before moving to the next skill. At one point I watched my child walk 20 feet away from the group while the instructors talked to each other. I asked what they were supposed to be teaching and they jumped realizing they had been caught, but never realized my son had wandered off. I had to go get him and bring him back to them. At another point one instructor dunked my child under the water. HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HOLD HIS BREATH... This is something they're supposed to teach him. While he choked and spit out water the instructor turned around and walked away!! I told the individual in charge who thanked me and ensured me he would discuss it in his next staff meeting, but I will NEVER entrust my child to these people and we will never return. If you want your child to safely learn how to swim DO NOT take them here ."

"Love this place and my kids love it ,too. The staff are friendly and the safety is so good. I will recommend it to all my friends."

"We have been taking swimming lessons here for a few years. The instructors are amazing. There tends to be 1 or 2 main instructors but then have at least 2 younger instructors assisting, almost 2 to 1 ratio. They work on technique from level 1 which is awesome. Pool is closed to public during lessons. During open swim lifeguards on duty, water is clean, they have a waterslide, if you are tall enough and also a diving board. They also have a pool for toddlers, I think the depth is .5 feet - 2 feet. The updated playground next to the pool is wonderful! And the recent addition of the beautiful pavilion is amazing."
