G. Thomas DiDomenico Bayonne Municipal Pool — Local services in Bayonne

Strict resident policy - With ID it’s more $ With resident card we pay $3 adult $1 under 13. Weekdays are always the best obviously less crowds. Weekends are pretty crowded but still enjoyable. Food - meh. Salty and overpriced although we do not eat meat so can’t speak on the meat. Snacks are ok but we like to bring our own. Management of pool is ok, they have young lifeguards but despite their age they are mature and pay attention IMO. If you need anything and go to the office they are on it! Recently there have been problematic crowds, rowdy teenagers with no manners- ex: smoking, drinking, bullying, rough playing. They try to manage it but people need to report it for the proper steps to be taken. I always say if we can enjoy our time there is no issue but once there is an interruption we need to speak up. Such as cursing at little children (yes that happened). Overall, this is a great pass time and location for our community, bring a blanket and chairs, your own food and drinks and you’ll have a great time! Parking can be difficult so get there early, if you have a small car...

A pretty nice pool, but always way too crowded. They have strict limits on IDs which do cut a little bit of the crowd out, but even then there's always way too many people, even in the 18+ lap pool. It gets to the point where sometimes it's impossible to do laps in there because so many people who use it as a place to just sit and block off everything for people who are actually there to exercise and not just sit and talk. Food's incredibly expensive, and you never get enough for the amount you're paying, which was originally excused because it at least tasted incredible, but the quality has gone downhill. The lifeguards that are on duty are pretty good, but the ones who are waiting for their shifts to start are insufferable. They splash, dive and jump around, being general nuisances in the adult pool, but do they ever get in trouble for it? Nope! Any other person would most likely get kicked out of the pool for doing the same, but just because they're in cahoots with the other guards, they'll never...

The employees at this pool location are extremely prejudice! I am beyond baffled at witnessing them harass certain people of color. They went after multiple people of color and attacked them disrespectfully claiming they did not pay, and after seeing the people prove them wrong by presenting their ID in which is needed to pay and get in, in the FIRST PLACE, all they could offer was an “apology” for assuming - when they should not have assumed in the first place. After i personally spoke up and went to a supervisor, to understand why was this behavior going on, the supervisor Mohammed, did not do anything. With everything America is going through, i suggest the supervisors/owner of this pool, should train their staff more efficiently! You can not just PICK AND CHOOSE WHO TO HARASS. One day they will mess with the wrong group and get in serious trouble. I regret supporting this pool, and wasting my money at this location, how...
