Roger Scott Pool – Pensacola, Florida

The Roger Scott Pool has been open for business for several weeks but we just made it over there for the first time on Wednesday.  Earlier that day, I asked a question about the crowds at the pool on the Facebook fan page and the response was great!  Everyone had a different opinion to share and I was glad to get so many different thoughts.  On a whim at about 11:59, we decided to go to the 12:30 session!  I threw together a bag of beach towels and sunscreen while the kids threw on their swimsuits.  We raced out the door to get to the pool when it opened for the 12:30 session. 

When we arrived, there was a short line but it did move quickly.  As you pay your fee, they are marking how many people enter.  Once they reach capacity, they do not allow anyone else in.  

Let me start out by saying that we did have a good experience.  We stayed for about two hours, the kids played the whole time, and when we left, they both asked when we were going to go back.  That being said, it was very crowded.  We spent a lot of time in the small pool that has the Kid Wash area.  I had a hard time keeping an eye on my children the entire time we were there.  After the Kid Wash area, we headed to the large pool where the slides empty out.  My daughter and I sat in the water surrounded by all the teenagers and watched Big S go down the slides a few times. 

Things to Know Before You Go:

• Bring cash to make entry easier.  I did see a sign that said they took cash or check, but call ahead to check.
• Get there at the beginning of the session.  When we were there, the session reached capacity within the first 20m.
• We didn’t bring food or drink because I wasn’t sure what was allowed, but we saw lots of coolers and even a pizza!
• Entry is $4 an adult and $3 a child.  Children 4 and under are free.

Roger Scott Pool is open for three different sessions:
