Georgetown Recreation Center — Attraction in Georgetown

I’m reviewing only the outdoor pool. Hours reduce way down in early August. The water activities in the pool are fine (mushroom dome, one working and one broken water gun, a small kiddie slide, 3 small tube water slides), but the pool size itself is way too small. The deepest water is 3’6” - the deeper 4’ water is behind buoys near the slides and you cannot swim in it, it is strictly for exiting the slides only. This pool is best for very small children - probably 6 and younger. The turtle and ladybug water features at the beach style gradual entrance are not allowed to be climbed on by children, which is odd and frustrating that they are even there, directly in the small child area. The water slides are small - again, best for small children, except that they steeply drop a good 12-18” into 4’ water and lifejackets are not allowed, so I’m not actually sure the target audience of those.

They require a mandatory pool closing for 15 minute intervals multiple times a day - we were not told about this when we arrived, which happened to be about 5 mins before a closing. So it sucked getting all the kids in the pool only to have to drag everyone out to sit on the sidelines for 15 minutes.

TLDR; it’s fine for tiny kids for brief play if you avoid the times they make you sit out of the pool for 15 mins at a time, for older kids (6+) any of the city pools in Round Rock are...

Very disappointed!!! Full disclosure for over 20+ years I have mentored kids through basketball. The cool part is I get to work with my 3 sons as they strive to pursue their dreams... It has been great Father and Son bonding time. Today while mentoring my three sons and a couple of their friends I was approached by the supervisor. Her words to me where you cannot train kids here. I explained to her that I was working with my sons and their friends and I'm not charging anybody. Mind you I pay a monthly membership fee and I'm investing my time into my kids and their friends who all pay for a membership there. The supervisor said I googled you and I know you're a trainer. I wonder if she googles every Father that comes there with his son or daughter? Be advised if you work with your kids you might be googled!!! Sadly I will not be going back to Georgetown rec center it's unfortunate because I'm a part of the Georgetown community. If this is considered great service it's not a place that I would ever want to invest money. "Perception is reality is what she said to me" and I said to her reality is reality and the reality is my three sons and their friends who I was working with today don't pay me a dime to sow into their lives. So thank you Georgetown Rec for thinking perception...

I totally agree with Alex. I thought the Georgetown rec center was going to be a nice and friendly environment, but I stand corrected. At this rec center the front desk was quite friendly, but the aquatic staff was impolite and discourteous. Surprisingly I was yelled at and startled by the abrupt tone of an employee on the aquatic staff. Apparently there was some type of lifeguard training going on and as I got out to rinse off and was just about to leave, one of the employees rudely told me to leave in a mean attitude without a please or thank you. It was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. I mainly bought a membership to have a relaxed time to practice my swimming, but this particular individual is causing me to have an unpleasant experience. No one should ever treat a paying costumer how I was treated. Which is with absolute disrespect. I will not renew my...
