Roy Jenkins Pool — Local services in Tampa

We are a couple who love to swim in pools. We live in Atlanta Georgia but we are visiting family this week (July 19th through July 23rd 2023). We used our friend Google and found this fabulous pool in Tampa. The receptionist was charming and knowledgeable, she answered all our questions, the lifeguards were on top of things and made me feel safe. The pool was so clean and beautiful. We felt right at home. If you happen to come to Tampa and you need a place to cool off, come here to Roy Jenkins pool. There is a very tiny fee to get in. We paid less than 4 bucks for the two of us. They do have a nice kiddie pool too. This place is good for all ages. And you can bring your pool noodles too. Don't forget about...

We’re new just next door and we’ve been to this pool 5-6 times since moving here last week and we’ve not had a negative experience until today. The teenage lifeguards seem to most certainly be on a power trip making illogical requests from ALL of the children at the pool today. Some of these lifeguards were even here yesterday, Sunday, a much busier day, and had less to say then. They’re quite honestly making it pretty unenjoyable. Will update my review as I see fit.

Edited to say that it’s still completely inconsistent and these lifeguards are...

I love a good public pool - but this one exceeds all expectations! In Tampa there are plenty of days that require a dip in the water and this place provides a wonderful reprieve. I used the lap swimming lanes, there is also a family splash area as well.

I can not recommend this pool highly enough - don't...
