The pool is located at 1200 S. McDuff Avenue at Riverside High School (formally Robert E. Lee High School).
In the early 1980s, the Riverside High School constructed an outdoor pool between the gym and the original building. Before that time, the swim teams trained at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd Pool, located about a mile north. The Pool is used by the athletic teams and physical education classes during the school year. In the summer, it becomes a free public pool operated by the City of Jacksonville Parks & Recreation Department.
Duval County Schools and the City of Jacksonville have a joint use agreement for pool use. In addition to the pool, amenities include lighting and restrooms.
