DRD POOLS

The guards are young kids who want money but don’t actually want to do the work that comes with it. On multiple occasions I’ve witnessed the pool unattended with people in the pool. The guard that supposedly on duty will have friends visit and have a conversation while they are sitting in the lifeguard chair at the same time they are supposed to be watching the swimmers. Ive witnessed the lifeguard not in the lifeguard chair having conversation with someone sitting at the pool tables. I’ve spoke with management about my concerns and nothing changes. I called to speak to a regional manager he wasn’t available at the time so I left him a voicemail but he hasn’t returned my call. These concerns of mine have been going on for multiple years Every year I call the company or speak with the life

They DO NOT SUPERVISE their employees. I used to manage pools over 50 years ago and these guards don't know what to do. I watched them NOT clear the pool during thunder and not clear the baby pool after a bio hazard. No one cleans tiles, no one cleans the dressing rooms and no one corrects children's inappropriate behavior. After their turn in the chair, they sit in the office and play on their phones. I don't trust them to watch my grandchildren and other parents are trusting (?) These jokers to save their kids lives. Not good. And every year it's the same old same old. Nothing changes. I'm searching for another pool to join.

My oldest is a guard & my community uses them. They treat ther guards well. FRD managed our pool refurbishment on time & w/in budget. They suggested bith everything we should do & what wasn't necessary while the concrete was open. Should prevent costly & ugly unexpected repairs in the future.

I had a small pool built by DRD 5 years ago. From the first days of filling it and using it, it leaked. It has leaked now for 5 years and I’m so frustrated, I’m ready to rip it out. DRD has come back twice (in 5 years! I can barely get anybody on the phone!) and both times have repaired something that slowed the leak down for a while, but it speeds right back up. Meanwhile I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds on crazy water bills, the leak is killing the very expensive tree that was planted next to it when it was built, and there’s no end in sight. DO NOT let these guys build or renovate for you.

This company is the worst. They are in charge of Monmouth Meadows Community Pool. The lifeguards frequently stay in their room in the clubhouse rather than guarding the pool. I even took photos of their lack of lifeguarding of the pool while people were swimmimg. The management frequently comes around at the hottest and busiest times of the day and kicks everyone out of the pool to conduct lifeguard training exercises. Why are these training sessions done in the middle of hot summer days when the majority of people are at the pool? Seems ridiculous. But even with all these training exercises their lifeguards still fail to follow the rules of how to guard the pool properly. In reading other comments I think their lifeguarding is questionable at other locations as well.
