Is it reasonable to officially display a price of $10 per adult and $5 per child, but upon arrival…read morebe charged $20 per adult and $10 per child with no explanation, when the prices are published on an official government website? It can feel misleading or confusing for visitors. Public pool? Technically, it is a public facility, but in practice it does not always feel that way. For residents, the fee is $10 per adult and $5 per child, while for non-residents it is $20 per adult and $10 per child. This is already on the higher end of what is traditionally expected from a municipal pool. In addition, the city website is not always updated with the most current pricing. Olympic pool? Yes, in terms of structure and size, but it does not include a diving area, so it is limited in that sense. Heated water? That statement can be misleading depending on the season, as the water is not consistently heated year-round. We are in April, and the water feels extremely cold, almost like "ice water." I have been coming here for several years, and this is the first time we have felt that some younger staff members are interacting with children in a more strict or tense manner; this was not the case before. There are also private hotel pools and small water parks that charge around $15-$20, and many times they feel more relaxed and accessible. This raises a valid question about value and accessibility in comparison. It also gives the impression that there is a gradual shift toward prioritizing residents (despite significant price increases for them as well) or increasing overall costs, which raises concerns about long-term accessibility for non-residents. At the same time, these facilities are publicly funded through taxpayer money, including contributions from Miami-Dade County, and entry fees are intended to help cover operational and maintenance costs. Overall, this is a matter of balance: public infrastructure is supported by taxpayers, but users also expect fair pricing, transparency, and a clear value in return. I hope these facilities do not evolve into spaces that feel similar to private venues, as that could create an unfair competitive disadvantage for private businesses in the same category.

Fun place! They have several different pool areas that are partitioned off, such as swim lanes for…read morelaps, an area for the slide and a shallower section for children. If you are a resident, the cost is just $5, but know that it is CASH ONLY unless you spend more than $10. They also have a lot of cheap community swim classes, including aqua aerobics, and times for just swim lane/swim laps. There are plenty of lawn chairs, even on the weekend, and the staff are helpful. Pool feels clean, the area is similarly clean. I did NOT go into the bathroom so cannot comment on those facilities. Plenty of free parking on the premise, and during the busier season (summer, I believe?) it looked like there were concessions and the slide would be open. All in all, I have spent several pleasant afternoons here when I did not have to work or got out early.

Desde el primer momento supieron evaluar sus conocimientos y practicarle las habilidades que necesitaba para poder estar segura en el agua. Cada día se puede notar su avance, y ves resultados enseguida. Gracias miles a su entrenadora Lani, y a todo el equipo de Kendall. Ashley también la ayudó el primer día. Les recomiendo esta escuela 100%. Aprender a nadar es algo muy importante para los niños, y en Little Swimmers los pones en las mejores manos. I am so grateful and absolutely thrilled with Little Swimmers - Kendall for teaching Vicky how to swim. They are an extraordinary team; they provide exceptional care and treat the children with so much patience and affection, starting with the front desk staff to the trainers. From the very first moment, they were able to assess her existing skills and work on the specific abilities she needed to be safe in the water. You can notice her progress every single day, and you see results right away. A huge thank you to her instructor, Lani, and to the entire team at Kendall. Ashley also helped her out on the first day. I recommend this swim school 100%. Learning to swim is incredibly important for children, and at Little Swimmers, you are placing them in the very best hands.

After only 3 months he has advanced tremendously. He can now go under for 4 seconds under water and doesn't cry. The instructor Ms. Daniella is wonderful! Actually everyone is super nice and friendly. They learn your babies name which make the experience extra personable. I also like that you can this there is always staff observing the children. The Venue has a nice thermic pool, very clean, nicely set up with showers, changing area, parent area, and numerous bathrooms. The school has its private parking which is also very convenient. So far the investment has been great.... Things to note: The classes begin right on time so I definitely recommend you arrive early.

A great community resource... if you can access it…read more The park and pool's website information has not been updated. Hours and cost information listed online are not correct. The pool is lovely and well-maintained. You can swim laps, paddle around, or take swimming lessons at different times of the day. I tried to use the pool a couple of times during the day but wasn't able to because it was either mysteriously closed or had no public access - swim lessons were being given. The changing rooms are a bit... Spartan and rustic - nothing but a few benches in a concrete box. Do not go by the hours listed online. You have to physically go to the pool and look at the noticed posted at the pool entrance. (see photo) The price online is also wrong. The fact that it is late June and the Recreation Center sill has a lit Christmas tree in the lobby lets you know that oversight and management is nearly non-existent. If they don't have the leadership to pack a Christmas tree in a box, then certainly don't expect the website to show current information.

I was worried they wouldn't take credit cards since it's such a low fee, but they do. The pool didn't feel like a typical 25 yard length, so I asked the lifeguard and he says it's a 33 meter pool. Bear in mind as you plan your workout. Pool has five or six lanes and is flanked by bleachers and some very basic changing room/shower facilities. Lap swim hours (pictured) are pretty extensive Monday through Friday. Less so Saturday and Sunday but still workable. I came in the middle of a work day and had a lane to myself.
