John F. Thompson Memorial Swimming Pool in Ludlow

READ !!!!!! BEFORE!!!!!!! GOING !!!!!!!!! I took the family today to this pool it was out first time there. The pool was clean and pretty big the staffing is horrible! It’s $4 to get in the pool it was 5 of us so I paid $20 total the lady in the front who gives us the that band ses the rules and ses cotton shirts in the pool I asked if my niece swimming shorts were ok before I give her my money she ses it’s okay, we get in the pool having fun more staff starts showing up and this one life guard keep telling my niece to take off her shorts very rude or get out the pool I refused to let her get out the pool take shorts off 1 she dose not feel comfortable with just wearing the bathing suit panties 2 before I spent my $20 I made sure ! She can get in the pool the the shorts on !! I told him she will not be taking them off untill a manager comes and sees me about her shorts, an hour go by the manager comes to me and ses my niece can not have those swimming pants only can have bathing suit with no cover up at all! If the shorts have a mesh then they can wear it BUT !!!!! ONLY WAY SHE CAN GET IN THE POOL WITH SHORTS IF SHE HAD NO PANTIES ON ! yes!! That came out the managers mouth she can only get in if she has nothing under the shorts witch is disgusted it gets better ! I’m a grown women I had the exact same shorts at my neice they did not tell me nothing one bit! They did not tell me take them off nothing!!! Witch was weird to me, me and my husband got out the pool sat on the bench ! Literally 2 feet away not even and the same guy who wanted my niece to take off her shorts soooooooo bad said we left the kids by them selfs and they were ready to call the cops WE WERE THERE THR HOLE TIME!!! Watching them !!! We never left to the car never left there sight watching them the hole time This pool was very clean and big but the staffing the vibes were horrible the life guards were yelling at the kids very loud swearing at them they don’t watch kids they sit there and flirt with each other my nephew was literally in the deep end he’s 7 and I had to go and take him out STAFFING HORRIBLE RULES ARE HORRIBLE!!! weird people working there there was kids with cotton shirts on ! And they were more worried about my nieces damn shorts sad

Nice pool..sell snacks like ice cream, soda, chips and candy. You can bring your own food and drinks. Even order Door Dash. No floating devices. Goggles without the nose piece. 4 bucks pee person non resident. 60 bucks family pool pass up to 6 persons 1 adult per pool pass up to 5 kids. 5 bucks additional persons. My family and I favorite way to spend the day. Closes at 7pm

You can't swim in the 5 foot area of the pool because "it's for jumping", even though if you swim anywhere else its too shallow. getting into this pool is confusing, it's crowded by children, the recreation staff are inabsent so getting a pass for this pool is hard, they only accept cash, and you need additional ID to get in even when you have a pass? overall, probably the worst pool I've ever been to. not worth even the 5 dollar day pass.

Great pool, clean, water was warm, plenty of lifeguards on deck. All those great things accept the pool manager Deborah Gates discriminates those who are religious and do not expose there bodies. Meaning shorts are not allowed over your bottom swimwear. Literally got kicked out of the pool for not wanting to wear my 1 piece bathing suit on it’s own. Sad that it’s such a nice place with a poor manager to run it & have no mercy on those who choose to be modest.

It's a fun social place, however, its kind of dull since removing what I believe to be their main feature: the slide
