I recently visited Jardel pool. The lifeguards were horrible and on a power trip. I was swimming with my kids the entire time. The rules posted are like any other public pool I’ve been to. No running, jumping, or pushing. My daughter swam 10 ft from me to the deep end. Got out of the pool and jumped in the water. And did that 3 times. This is what kids do and there’s no rules posted against it. The lifeguard went over and YELLED at my daughter and told her she’s not allowed to jump in the water and she had to get out of the pool for 10 minutes. I immediately went over to see what his problem was. He said there’s no jumping in the pool. I said where is that rule posted because we weren’t aware. He pointed to the no diving sign. I told him that says no diving not no jumping. Lifeguards are not allowed to make their own blanket rules. They are allowed to make discretionary calls- no jumping in shallow water, no jumping into a crowd. It has to be safety based. The parks and rec didn’t deem jumping in water unsafe or it would be on the signage. Do better Jardel. I will be filing a discrimination complaint

To Jen who wrote that the sign says "No Diving" therefore jumping into the pool is ok.. did you seriously file a "Discrimination Report" over this? Get a life

My daughter is currently enrolled in their gymnastics program and is loving it! We previously were in their dance program and also loved it. Great teachers, kind staff and affordable pricing! I coached Cheerleading and dance for a 1st place team for 15yrs I so am a bit picky when it comes to my daughter participating in these activities and I will gladly admit I've been very happy with what she has been taught and is being taught! The place is always clean, the kids and parents are respectful and they offer various payment options and plans!

I usually love this pool & all the life guards they’re great people. They let us in for 5 days straight in swimsuit material. Then today this heavyset lady with blonde hair decided she was in a mood today and didn’t wanna let us in. Wanted to argue what time we come everyday and make a big scene. Ignorant. Everyday they let us with our silk skin tight material. Even the life guards were saying “they’re always here and swim in that” Guess she didn’t get her daily cheeseburger today!
