We live in North Decatur and we are equal-opportunity pool-goers in that we rotate between pretty much all the local public pools rather than buying a pass for any particular pool or system. We are also on a pretty strict budget. We considered joining Pangborn or one of the other pools in our area, but we chose not to so that we could sometimes meet friends at other local pools like CoD, Grant Park, etc. If CoD raises their daily prices for non-residents, I am thinking we will just join Pangborn and be done with it. We had a couple of not-great experiences at McKoy last year. The pools in Decatur are nice, but not all that. If you don’t want us there, we’ll be glad to stay away.

I had a season pass last year but was never asked to show it at McKoy. Had me thinking why did I bother to get the season pass in the first place when I could just check off the season pass box upon arrival no questions asked. I know I will get another pass next year cause I’m one of those strange rule followers. But ,how many people noticed this last year and will choose to fake having a season pass next year. Or how many people noticed this the year before and did not get passes this past summer. The lifeguards need to begin checking for passes and charge accordingly for resident or non-resident.

Watch it! Next thing they’ll be turning McCoy into an administrative pool.
