I beg them not to put squirters on the bottom of the “spray pad”. Kids just sit on them and turn them into enemas. Unintentionally grossest invention ever.

I heard there was some controversy about the overhead (tennis-style) lights and that underwater lights were preferable to allow the lifeguards to see to the bottom of a 10 foot pool at night. This was in an email I received when my child was a member of the Decatur Gators swim team. But they’re going with the overheads? This makes me nervous.

The deposit to be on the waiting list is only $50. Over the 4-5 years it takes to get in, it’s only $10 to $12/year! It’s the initiation fee that is hefty. True that you have to get on the waiting list at birth. I thought that the recession and the newer competing options like the Emory Clairemont Pool and Lake Claire Pool would reduce the line. But I guess the kiddie boom impacts pool memberships too.

And if you put your name on the waiting list with a hefty deposit, you MIGHT be a member before you retire.
