The Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Affairs currently operates six outdoor swimming pools, one splash pad and one aquatic center. Aquatic programs are offered by the department and continue to grow at a fast pace. Visitors to our pools will find an array of amenities for both fun and learning. In addition to pool amenity offerings, we offer swim lessons every summer to ages 3 - 18 and adults. Participants under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. The DeKalb County swim season begins Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 25 thru August 2. Select pools will remain open on weekends until Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2, 2019.
