Flaherty Pool,

160 Florence Street, Boston, MA 02131

"Great local pool with lots of use with swim team and lessons. Little shabby, but kids don't care. Enough lifeguards and security."

"This pool is so awesome! It's indoors, there's not a lot of people there, and the pool is so relaxing! My mom and I love this place so much, we might come there every day during the summertime!"

"It's a decent sized pool and pretty clean. Never gets too crowded. The locker room facilities could use an update. Minus 1 more star because their youth swim classes are ridiculously impossible to get into. It feels like you basically need to win the lottery to get your kid into swim class there. :( I have been trying for literally 3 years. It shouldn't be this hard."

"The Flaherty pool provided are changing room to change into your swimsuit and provided a quick shower before jumping into the water. The water was pretty warm and so was the air. There was two lifeguard's present in case it was an emergency. And I was giving around 45 minutes to swim around and enjoy the water. The fullest facilities didn't amaze me, but in math perfect standards of a local neighborhood pool."

"It's a good neighborhood pool. Lots of lap times. Could better enforce pool regulations: require shower of everyone entering the pool, require pool caps, especially anyone with long hair, vigilance of pool chemicals keeping water clean and not having to shock with chlorine. Some lifeguards are very alert and watchful. Others are busy talking with friends and not watching swimmers. Even an excellent swimmer can suffer a medical event. Programs are varied and costs are very reasonable."
