  • Parade and Party are on - rain or shine!
  • Cost of party: FREE to members. $10/guest (must be accompanied by a member) and we will have someone at the door checking.
  • We encourage you to bring your own shade umbrellas, tents and/or chairs. We will be crowded! 
  • If you plan to attend the parade and/or begin the party with us at 10:30 am, you can reserve your spot at 9:30 am. If you reserve a spot and do not show up by 10:45, you will probably lose your spot. Also, please be considerate of others when taking space (especially if you are under shade) and only use what you really need. Thanks!! 
  • As always, no glass. If glass breaks in the pool, we have to drain it. Total. Party. Killer. Plus, do you know how much DeKalb charges to refill a pool? You'll find out - when we send you the bill :)
  • Speaking of total party killers - add poop in the pool to the list. Do not bring a sick child and please put a swim diaper on any child who hasn't been potty trained for like about a year. Seriously. 
We close at 8pm - just in time for Chamblee's fireworks (which are TERRIFIC!). You can walk from the pool to the Chamblee High School parking lot, which is a great viewing area (and it's never crowded!). If you want to leave us early, Chamblee's events start at 2 pm in Keswick park - they have a parade, lots of activities for the kids and dinner for sale. Click here for details.

We hope you have a Happy 4th of July!
