Kelly Pool

It’s definitely not a hospitable pool. Full of absurd rules. Life guards don’t give example and don’t shower. More absurd, lifeguards have break instead of turns and everyone in the pool has to get out on their break. Then, we watch a spectacle of lifeguards enjoy the pool by them selves while everyone else’s is waiting the lawn.
If you’re up to a laughs, this is the place.

Free for public use beautiful Olympic sized pool but not very hospitable. There are lap lanes that you have prove you are worthy of using by swimming freestyle for however many laps they want you to do, although there were open lanes. I was questioned as to why I didn’t have goggles. I guess they have a lot of triathletes come there to swim. Sorry, I just want to swim without a bazillion kids jumping in next to me. «Chlorine checks» require everyone to vacate the pool for upwards of 20 minutes to stand around. I’ve only been to two Philly public pools, this one by far was the most whistled. About ¹⁄₃ was lap lanes, ¹⁄₃ closed, ¹⁄₃ everyone else.
