Athens Pool 2 Evergreen Place, Athens, NY 12015

"Been coming swiiming in this pool my whole life. Every summer im in NY i go at least once. Last few times ive went there was no one there...no guard no nothing. Some random people let me in and it felt super sketchy, between prices rising, lanes not being painted or lane markers for lap swimmers not being placed, lack of employment there idk...whatever it is, the pool sucks now. Better off takin the drive to a different town to use their pool, which will be better maintained and more welcoming."

"Last year I moved to the area from across the bridge and decided to buy a family membership to the pool. The first day it opened we visited and the water was full of cut grass. It was a mess and the skimmer had no net attachment. The staff said it had broken and they had ordered another that was on the way. I was told the grass had been mowed the day before so that was the reason for the grass problem. Why did they not buy a skimmer net for $12 at Walmart and have one for their community pool opening? Why did they not cut the grass a day or two earlier? They had all Spring to prepare a mowing schedule that would be appropriate. The management was unpleasant and made me feel unwelcome even though I just spent $375. This year we will goto Zoom Flume for half the price."

"This pool is cute as hell and hidden in the back of an adorable neighborhood - nestled between the trees and an old cemetery. It’s less than a 3 minute drive from The Stewart House Hotel. $10 dollar day pass for non-locals, dressing rooms, and a concession stand. Open daily from 12-7pm until Labor Day. Fully obsessed wish I came sooner!!"

"Athens pool saved my life! Haven't drowned yet, great Red Cross swim lessons in the 70s. I do remember a lifeguard named Nancy that could be easily irritated with boorish behavior. Sorry Nancy, I shouldn't have thrown my hotdog in the pool..."
