Maybe I was just a tad bit more ready today?!…read moreNot really, I didn't want to leave the wall & would've been content practicing breathing today for my entire lesson. I was urged off the wall a few times by Coach Chris and the woman over the program (I think) & finally let go. Coach Chris is a great coach! He encouraged me & was very patient as I hesitantly followed his direction. I actually did 2 laps w/ the noodle focusing on kicks and breathing! That's the most progress I've had in a swim class in a 30-minute lesson! I guess I should note, this was a private lesson and previously I've taken group lessons. Either way, I gained the most progress and satisfaction from this one class than I have in the 4 group classes I've taken twice. I can't wait to see my progress at the end of the classes. The showers and changing areas are clean and adequate. Everyone from the front desk staff to the other personnel were friendly.

This is not just a summer job, you're dealing with people's safety I have to stay out of the pool and do their job to watch for the safety of my children - but I wouldn't go in any way anymore, because there is too much unknown stuff floating around, it's disgusting. There is way too much rowdiness - groups of kids on top of each other, kids jumping in at all sides of the pool, that I'm scared that only one of them will get hurt - but especially my own children. There are too many pieces of food around the pool that attract bugs. Most of the plastic chairs are broken.

Dynamo swimming complex is just around the corner from my office and offers a wonderful swimming facility to swim at. Hours - I have to say that usually swimming pools have no available open swim hours so they are never convenient to use. No Dynamo. They are usually open for any type of drop in 1030-3pm (330 on some days). That is a ton of time! Facility - is huge! There is a smaller indoor lessons pool (88 degrees) and an indoor competition pool (79-80 degrees) that are always open during open swim. There is also a 50-m long course pool on site that opens seasonally I believe. There are multiple locker rooms with lots of showers and lockers. I think it is a wonderful spot. Cleanliness - The pool is always clean without ever a weird taste of chemicals. The locker rooms are always clean and never cluttered with stray clothes or baskets. Speaking of baskets, I love that they offer baskets for you to place your stuff in. Makes it very accommodating to get in and out of the locker room faster! Misc - There are available pull buoys and kick boards for your to use. There are never a lot of people in the pool when I come at lunch. I have never had to share a lane - once I had the entire competition pool to myself for a whole hour! Staff is always friendly. For a pool facility, I don't know what else you are looking for!

My son swam at Dynamo for three years, and I volunteered as an AO during several home meets. During…read morethat time, I was harassed by a male parent in the parking lot who was driving a blue Jaguar F-Pace SUV. The police were called, but the individual left before officers arrived. I immediately reported the incident to management and was told that several other female parents were familiar with this individual and that previous complaints had been filed. Staff assured me they would investigate the matter and address his threatening behavior. In the days that followed, while our children continued practicing four to six days per week, I observed the same parent continuing to negatively engage with other female parents at the facility with what appeared to be little or no consequence. Although the facility is modern and the coaching staff is skilled, I cannot recommend it based on my experience with its response to patron safety. A strong commitment to the safety and well-being of students, families, coaches, and volunteers should be a top priority, and I did not feel that this concern was handled appropriately.

Being less than thrilled with the two pools operated by the city of Tucker, I'm so happy I found…read morethis pool just a short drive down the road in Clarkston. I am impressed with the professionalism of the staff, the lifeguards are both attentive and courteous, very important and different from Tucker pools. This pool offers two amazing features for very young children, both a separate 1ft deep kiddie pool and a wade in or "beach entrance" to the main pool where kids can walk around and play and splash at a depth they're comfortable with. There are also a few splash pad type features like jets and waterfalls, although the falls aren't always operating. It is kept meticulously clean and I see the guards checking the chemical levels of the pool every hour or so. Also.. it's affordable! $2 per person. Today we were told there is a two hour limit due to capacity / COVID, but that's about the maximum time I'll stay with a toddler. I am not sure if they enforce this on really slow days.

Nice size pool. Love that they have a separate pool for smaller kids if needed. Not a bad price.read more

This pool just opened at the MLK Jr Middle School in the Grant Park neighborhood to replace the now…read moreclosed MLK Natatorium on Blvd. This pool is a partnership between APS and City of Atlanta. The price is the same as it used to be - $4 per visit unless you want to pay $110 for the year for full use of all city natatoriums/gyms. There is free parking in the neighborhood (the school is on Hill Street) and lap swimming is open to the public during non-school times. There are locker rooms with showers onsite. Aerobic classes as well as swim team practice will be beginning soon. There is no gym here, unlike the now closed natatorium, but there is a new gym facility at the Grant Park Recreation Center inside of Grant Park.

The staff was so welcoming and wonderful. I did not see any staff looking at a phone at all. I've been twice for close to 4 hours each time. The guards watched that pool like their lives depended on it. An adult male was struggling in the deep end at one point and the guards were both in the pool assisting him out before I even knew what was going on. Great job guys. Keep up the awesome work y'all are doing. I feel completely confident allowing my kids to swim here now. Fantastic experience from beginning to end. And it's very clean.

Now, I love just about everything there is about Tucker, the parks and rec department is on point…read more This is a lovely pool with a fun splash pad perfect for the littles. Today was my first visit. I had two mom friends there with a group of 4 total littles, 3 of them only 2ish. We mainly kept to ourselves in a corner by the splash pad. Social distancing, you know. So there was these damn cones. They separated chairs in another social distancing effort. Okay, I get it. But my 15 month old starts playing with the cone. I tell him no, he is redirected to the pool.. but he's a literal baby. At some point he picks up a cone and another two year old picks up a cone and they're moved around a bit, but as I'm redirecting kids the lifeguard comes down and wants to have an attitude about the kids and the cones. Well first off, I'm impressed you noticed anything since you've been staring at your phone the entire time and probably wouldn't catch anyone in distress in the water, but let's come have an attitude about a few babies and some cones. Yea, we get why they're there, but these kids are literal babies. If she wasn't enough, then a 2nd person working at the pool comes over yapping about the cones.. nobody else had touched a cone.. he wanted to explain the purpose of the cones.. WE FREAKING GET IT BUT OUR GROUP OF LITERAL BABIES DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE FIRST, SECOND, SOMETIMES THIRD TIME! You'd think the toddlers would be the ones having meltdowns, but nah, we've got a few full grown adults getting emotional over some kids acting like kids. Moving an orange cone a few feet. Hysteria. Such horrible little heathens we have. Anyway. The pool is nice. The guy who checked us in was friendly. The life guard played on her phone the whole time until she switched with one who halfway paid attention, so watch your kids.. and beware of any orange cones. Serious business, y'all.

The gym is very small but nice and fairly up to date (I rarely use the gym). The atmosphere is somewhere between hotel and Kawanis club - often the entire place is overrun with kids of all ages, mostly well behaved but there are times when they get out of hand and parents are nowhere to be found. There's a fountain area for little ones and those with abluthophobia. Memberships are available to GWP residents and anyone with a few thousand dollars burning a hole in their pocket. Recently a lifetime membership fell to $999 bringing a glut of new members and making the place overcrowded on weekends and holidays. The membership can be bought and sold in the event of a move or relocation. The management company responsible for running things does a less than stellar job as often the wireless internet does not work and there are frequent unexplained instances of access cards going bad. An attendant was added this year and he does a great job of keeping the pool area and locker rooms clean and in working order. God bless him - there are members who bathe their entire families and dress them for church in the locker rooms. Ideally this pool should be altered to be more of a resort style with in-water seating, more shaded areas on the deck and in the pool. A dedicated kiddie pool would be a welcome addition. There is little if any parking and that which does exist will most likely disappear as more homes are built adjacent to the pool/condos. The pool board (neighbors and volunteers) puts on at least one party a year and provide the beer, food and entertainment for members. This not to be missed event (sometimes two) is usally the kickoff to the summer season and gets to be more of a tailgate party by late afternoon. Chris always does a great job organizing and making sure we all have fun! Overall a good way to spend an afternoon especially if you live in or near GWP. You olympic hopefuls would enjoy swimming laps here in the morning or evenings. I've spent many a Saturday afternoon working on my skin cancer here and appreciate the short walk home after a few locally made margartias find their way to my tummy.
