    Even through under construction, fun place to go if you're passionate for swimming. Currently discounted admissions fees with construction, however, buying items in gift shop gives you free admission. Small building with a lot of history

    So excited to see the finished pool and have a chance to compete in it again! Lots of great memories from the older pool but very excited to make some new ones in this new state of the art facility in 2023!

    I went to see the Pan American Artistic Swimming Championships on August 13, 2023, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the new swimming pool facility – it’s a fantastic addition. However, I must admit that the parking fees feel a bit too expensive. It would be wonderful if there could be some adjustment in that aspect.

    Words do not describe this amazing customer service. Hands down some of the best people ever! Stopped in on a Friday and it was closed. Talked to amazing lady who said with no power they closed for the day. No problem. Stopped in on Monday still closed however that same AMAZING lady was outside again. She called up the gift shop lady and they open the doors up for us so we can just purchase of few things. NOW THAT"S customer service. With my daughter a swimmer this was the only thing she wanted to do...besides swim. :) Thank you again, your customer service went above and beyond.

    I go to this pool several times per year to train high diving. Although there's still some construction to be done, every time I go the facilities improve with additional renovations. There are now 4x1m & 5x3m springboards, and platforms at 1, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 24, & 27 meters! And a hot tub. And that's just the diving area. There are also swimming pools, long and short courses. The coaching staff is always welcoming, as are the lifeguards. I've also attended well run events here including USA Masters Diving Spring Nationals and the Skyfall High Diving Competition hosted by High Dive Global. This host pool is always a great venue!

    Beautiful clean facility. I hope it stays this way

  • 1/5 Beej D. 5 months ago on Google
    The swimming facility is very impressive and the staff attentive and dedicated. The gift shop and museum, by contrast, was staffed by one of the ruder people I have met in hospitality. She had no interest in having a visitor with an interest in the Hall of Fame. Disappointing.

    Wow, what a facility. Completely renovated. Diving tower reaches to the Heavens. Cool architecture and early lane swimming for the dedicated.

    This was a really cool spot to visit with my niece, who's a competitive swimmer. Almost uncomfortably warm inside, hence the minus one star. The pool complex is incredible.

  • 5/5 Jeff M. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice facility. Very friendly staff. Extremely clean. Only real pit fall is the lack of parking for a large event and the high price of parking in the surrounding area. They should be proud of there facility.

    The Swimming Hall of Fame is an amazing place to swim and have fun! Any honest person would recommend this place

  • 5/5 Don C. 1 year ago on Google
    Holy mackerel! I used to swim on sftl back when it was a rusty shell of a facility. In fact my sister swam in the state meet 1958 when the complex extended to the beach. I swam in the 1969 high school state meet for North Miami High School. And here I am 107 years later working out with swim fort Lauderdale and thinking about joining. It's a cross between sftl and the Azures a Venezuelan team located at the David posnick Jewish community center. The 27 M diving platform is an incredible site. I had my first workout last night with the wonderful coach named Brian whom I'd not met before who had the same skill set as Marty Hendrick. Wonderful wonderful wonderful place. I didn't sample the locker rooms or showers because I had to get home.

    Pool opens 8am -6 pm for the public on the website. The phone message says 8am-4pm. No one answers the phone , it's just prerecorded messages. When I arrived at 3 pm, no one opened the window when I approached the window and waited. I walked on deck and the lifeguards tell them they close everyday at 1 pm. I asked to swim from 3-4 pm. The pool was empty. The head lifeguard said no because swim teams arrive around 4 pm. He told me the pool is open the public from 6:30-7:30pm. Kinda frustrated and left with all the mixed messages.

    What an amazing place, especially for anyone that loves swimming. So much history and information and stories. I could've stayed all day

    Enjoyed visiting the swimming hall of fame however it was kind of upsetting that only a small part of the museum was open. The rest was under renovation.

    I feel every swimmer should take a pilgrimage here at least once. So much swimming history within these walls. The pool is great to if you get a chance to swim in it.
