Banneker Pool is a popular summer destination for DC residents, offering a spacious and beautiful pool with a 50-meter lap swimming area. The pool is generally crowded, especially during peak hours, but the ample deck space and lounge chairs provide a comfortable atmosphere. While the pool is free for DC residents, non-residents can access it for a small fee. The facility features over 100 lockers in the locker rooms, although visitors are advised to bring their belongings onto the deck due to the risk of theft. The showers offer good water pressure and temperature, and the pool has recently installed a water filtration system for filling up water bottles, a convenient feature. Overall, Banneker Pool is a great respite from the summer heat, with a fun vibe and friendly staff, although the limited hours at the start of the season and occasional incidents of theft have been a source of disappointment for some visitors.
The pool is cool and the bathrooms are decent but the only problem is that the pool staff are playing around and one time i almost drowned and my dad hade to save me because I was going to die. Is a good pool is just the staff are dummy’s

I love Banneker Pool! Spacious, beautiful pool.I only made it to two different pools this year. DC seems to have doubled the number of lounge chairs at both pools. So much better!
