About Gainesville Municipal Pool
It can be tough to find a good outdoor spot to swim in Gainesville, but the Gainesville Municipal Pool is a pretty solid option. A lot of people seem to like it based on its 4.3 out of 5 stars from over 250 reviews. You've got your basics covered here with lap lanes and a diving board. If you've got little ones, there's a kiddie pool, which is always nice. They also have concessions so you can grab a snack, and some shade structures, which are important in Florida. For adults, it's a seven-dollar entry, and kids are three bucks. Given the population of Gainesville, it's a decent-sized city, so I imagine this pool gets a good amount of use when it's warm.
