About This Business
Established in 1963, Paint Rock Pool is a private swimming pool located in the Turning Mill neighborhood of Lexington, Massachusetts. The pool offers a unique and enjoyable experience for its members, who are primarily residents of Lexington. With a 25- by 15-yard pool, the facility is ideal for lap swimming, diving, and general recreation. A roped-off shallow area is perfect for small children, and the pool also features an in-water basketball hoop and a selection of pool toys. To enhance the membership experience, Paint Rock Pool provides swimming lessons and an active swim team. The pool is heated and illuminated, ensuring a comfortable experience for members throughout the season. Amenities include changing rooms, outdoor and indoor showers, bathhouse facilities, poolside chairs, loungers, umbrellas, a shady deck with picnic tables, and a diving board. A play area is also available for games like four-square and ping pong. The pool is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, who oversee policies, improvements, membership, and finances. A pool manager is employed to handle daily operations and maintenance, and a team of certified lifeguards is hired to ensure the cleanliness, safety, and enjoyability of the pool. Membership is exclusive to residents of Lexington and their guests, and those interested in becoming new members can email the pool for more information. Paint Rock Pool also offers seasonal employment opportunities, which can be found on the Jobs page or by emailing the pool directly. With its rich history, excellent facilities, and commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience, Paint Rock Pool is a beloved institution in the Lexington community.

Disillusioned with the Exclusive Vibe and Lackluster Maintenance
I must say, my experience at Paint Rock Pool has been a letdown. As a resident of Lexington, I was excited to join this private swimming pool, but what I found was an exclusive club that seems more focused on its long history than on providing a quality experience for its members. The pool itself is nice, I'll give them that - the 25- by 15-yard size is perfect for lap swimming, and my kids loved the roped-off shallow area and the in-water basketball hoop. However, the facilities seem to be stuck in the past. The changing rooms and bathhouse could use a serious update, and the outdoor showers, while a nice touch, often didn't have hot water. The poolside chairs and loungers were also frequently broken or missing. What really got to me, though, was the attitude of the staff. The lifeguards seemed more interested in chatting with each other than in watching the pool, and the pool manager appeared overwhelmed and uninterested in addressing member concerns. As someone who values a clean and safe swimming environment, I was disappointed to see that the pool often had debris floating in it, and the surrounding areas were not always well-maintained. For a pool that prides itself on its commitment to safety and enjoyment, I expected more. Perhaps the volunteer Board of Directors could focus more on improving the member experience rather than just preserving the status quo. Until then, I would not recommend Paint Rock Pool to anyone looking for a well-maintained and welcoming swimming facility.
