Doyle Street City Pool opens today for 2023 Summer Season

The Doyle Street City Pool opens today in Toccoa-Stephens County.

The city pool is operated by Camp Fire Georgia.

Camp Fire Georgia Executive Board Member Betty Daniels says the pool opens today for the 2023 summer season.

“We are very excited about the pool. We’re looking forward to opening on Memorial Day. We’ll be open every day from 12 to 6 p.m. except for on Sundays we’re open from 1 to 6 p.m.,” she said.

Daniels says the Doyle Street Pool offers open swim seven days a week, weather permitting, along with other activities.

She says they’ll also be hosting senior swim days.

“We are planning on offering Senior Swim on Monday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. We are also offering swim lessons for 3 weeks during the summer. We’re also open for parties on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you are interested in swim lessons or any of the parties, you can go to campfirega.org and click on Doyle Street Pool and see where to sign up and pay,” she said.

Daniels says swim lessons costs $80 per session.

“We have swim lessons for $80 a session—a session is four days for 45 minutes each day,” she said. “There will be two groups of those.”

She says they also have scholarships for anyone who is unable to afford to come to the pool.

“If there is a problem, I’m doing what I can to get scholarships. I would love to work with you, so just give me a call at 404-731-2206. You can also reach me at [email protected],” she said.

Daniels says they are looking for more lifeguards.

“I see the pool as a service, a community service. We’re still having a hard time getting lifeguards. We would love to have big group so that we can cover all the shifts; because we have to restrict entrance based on the number of lifeguards we have available,” she said.

If you are interested in becoming a lifeguard, visit campfirega.org and apply.

She says this season the focus is to make the pool a fun and safe experience for the community; and that’s why they have several activities planned this season.
