Facility Notes
NOTE: During a December, 2018, review of this listing, we noted that its City of Miami Beach web page ("Website", above) said that the pool was closed until further notice due to repairs. There was no indication of when the pool was closed or, more importantly, when it might be expected to reopen. We'll check the site from time to time going forward but, if you find out that the pool has reopened before we do, please let us know, so we can update this listing.
Facility Reviews
The pool was clean, but there was confusion as to whether the general public could swim on Sunday, which was when we went. We called and they said to come on over. When we got there they said the rate was $10, but then said they couldn't take money on Sundays. They finally let us swim since we had walked a couple of miles to get there and they felt guilty. We were the only pair in the pool although the air temperature was about 65ºF (18ºC). with a steep wind. Sunday hours were 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
I swam here on a Saturday at 10:30 AM and got the last open lane. The water was a little warm, around 83º - 84ºF (28º - 29ºC), maybe because the sun was beating down on it. The pool was clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. There were six lanes open from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM on a Saturday. It's a beautiful facility! And there's lots to do after your swim: bowling, ice skating, basketball, etc....so much for your $10!
