About New Orleans Recreation Pool
When I look at the New Orleans Recreation Pool, the first thing that jumps out is that it's a competition pool. They've got the Olympic lanes and a timing system meaning it's really set up for some serious swimming. I see a diving well too, so that's a plus. With a 4.5 star rating from over 260 reviews, people generally seem to like it. For five bucks for adults and three for kids, that's a pretty standard price for a city-run facility. Honestly, if you're looking to put in some laps or train, this place seems like a good bet. It's built for that kind of use. For a city the size of New Orleans, which has nearly 400,000 people, it's good to see a dedicated pool like this.
