McKoy Pool

Great pool especially for small kids. We love the zero entry side of the pool with the fountains! However, we got to the pool right when it opened on a weekday to find that the front desk person had not come in yet. The lifeguards aren’t allowed to take money from guests apparently, so we had to wait outside the pool until the desk employee came in..long story short it was a bit annoying to wait nearly 30 minutes to get to go into the pool deck, especially with a toddler and newborn. Otherwise our other experiences have been great!

Great unique pool designed with younger children in mind. It’s never too crowded and the kids love it there. It can be kind of shaded certain times of the day, which can cause the water to be a little colder than other pools. Overall a great little pool for young families.

Seconding the review regarding the pool being closed. A wastewater issue being the stated reason with no other explanation nor timelines raises more concerns. What does wastewater even mean? Is the pool full of sewage and human waste? A reply stating that there are other city pools simply underscores how little the city understands their constituents they are meant to serve. When did this start? Did I take my kids to swim in wastewater before the issue was announced? (To be clear, it was never announced) When will this be resolved? What’s the extent of the issue? Why is there no information about what is going on? Yes, we have been visiting other pools. If McKoy pool never existed, that would be fine. But it does and it’s the only pool south of college is now closed indefinitely with no

Secluded Decatur public swim club. Very nice. Membership or fee is required. It appears to cater mostly to parents of smaller children. There are three lap lanes that appear to be 25 yards in length. It feels shorter than a usual outdoor lap lane, but can't say for sure. I would guess that about half of the water area is devoted to less than 3 feet of water depth. One can rent the pool for birthday parties, with lifeguard staffing for a very reasonable price.

The life guards especially the head life guard are very unprofessional. On Tuesday 8,2021 the head life guard of your Mccoy pool came off very rude from the beginning of my visit along with 2 other parents. We had 5 children each and he was upset stating we are a camp and can not come in. The 2 other parents and I both explained to him that we are not a camp, he then process to give one of the parent a phone to talk to the manager of Dekalb district pools because he felt we were still a camp. The manager after having the situation explain to him that we are not a camp just 3 mothers who came to a pool together he then decides to let us enter. Later on while it started to rain and everyone had to get out of the pool one of the parents walked in on the life guards discussing us which is very
