Hello. I was born in Miami. I am now 66 years old. My mother would drive us to the pool many times after church. This is where I learned to swim. My mother would sit at the tables while I tried to swim/I was pretending. 2 feet deep seemed like 8 feet back then. I never made it to the falls because I couldn’t swim full yet. However, I am a good swimmer now, and I intend to come back for a visit. Thank you for this video.
My grandmother’s house was just a few blocks from there, and I have great memories of going there as a kid. Thanks for bringing back such great memories.
I just heard about this lovely pool. A vid talking about life before air conditioning in Florida brought me here. One of the women remembered riding her bike to the Venetian Pool to cool off and what a marvelous experience it was.
Thank you❤ I grew up there and would go there when I was a teenager! Alot of memories! Now I'm 63, and since I'm moving back to the area, I will be sporting my new swimwear there very soon..
Me too!! Lol I was a 10 yr old who swam what felt like a mile across the pool and the waterfall at the end almost got me... not a place for a kid to be left alone
I lived a mile or so away when I was 10-15 years old. My family went there often to swim. The grotto was so fun and there was a hole in one of the coral pillars that we swam though. Diving off the lower and high dives! It was never crowded back then, a secret gem
Have you visited the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables? Do you think it is worth the price of admission? jentheredonethat.com/weekend-coral-gables-florida/
Beautiful place to go

My first childhood memory is being in the baby pool. My Dad lived there while a lifeguard in the 40s.
What a beautiful memory!

I remember in the 80,s it was only .50 cents to get in there
Wow!
Yes !! I was there everyday and took my PADI diving license training here and loved living Coral Gables.
I use to jump off the cliffs as a kid in the 70s and 80s
congratulations for that beautiful video ... soon I will be in Miami enjoying these wonders
It is one of my favorite spots in Miami! Enjoy!

Hola and welcome!
Do they let swimmers near the waterfalls? They don't pick up.
$20??!
Have you visited the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables? Do you think it is worth the price of admission?

No, it’s isn’t worth 20.00 in my opinion. I’ve been there.
Is there crocs there or snakes?
Nothing poisonous.
