College Park Pool

Collage park pool has a lot to offer from swimming classes for the kids and adults, to adults fitness, water aerobics and open pool. This is a good way to get fit. Some times during open pool they have a cook out with hot dogs, hamburgers and sodas. Put on by the lifguards. Some of the best in Orlando. Come to Collage park pool if you like to have fun.

I’m increasing my 4-​star review of the College Park Pool to 5 stars. I’ve been here a lot lately and have had a great time. The past few Saturdays I’ve been here have been awesome — the weather’s been sunny and bright and it’s been nice to be here. During my visit two Saturdays ago (I think?), I played Marco Polo with some young kids and one of the lifeguards, who I guess was taking a break (there were other ones working) and was in the pool & swimming. It was fun! The pool is kept clean and never is overcrowded. There’s a diving area and an area toward the more shallow parts of the pool that’s good for swimming and just hanging out. The more shallow parts aren’t overly shallow or deep — right before the «deep» (diving) area begins, the deepest part of the other area is I believe 5’6″ or 5’8″. (I can’t remember, exactly.)
The staff is very personable and friendly, though it appears that just about everyone here is in either high school or the first few years of college. They’re young, but experienced and knowledgeable.
As I said in my initial review, the pool does close rather early, even during nice Summer days. There may be other pools in the area that stay open longer, so if you’re looking for an evening swim then those are the ones you should check out. This pool still is great, though — friendly staff and patrons, it’s clean and accessible and is free to use by the community. Training/​exercise classes must be paid for, but it’s free to go there just to swim when courses/​etc. are not scheduled.

Pool is great anytime but summer, where the pool temperature is too hot for exercise, reaches around 90 degrees. The city had an Aerator (to cool the temperature) in the summer months, then decided to remove it for an unknown reason. So if you want o use it for exercise you can use any time minus the months from May to Sept.
