Amenities:

• (6) Swimming Lanes
• 1 Meter Diving Board
• Climbing Wall
• Concession Stand

This pool was built in 1964 and I read that the city is looking into replacing it. But it's still functional and very cheap! 

The facility consists of a main pool, featuring an “L” shaped pool with six 25-meter lap lanes and a diving well, and an AquaClimb climbing wall as well as a separate wading pool. Both pools are Chester aluminum pools, constructed in 1964-65 and renovated in 1980. 

Here are pictures of the pool during the summer from their website:
