To reserve the pool pavilion, or view blocked dates for reservations,please login to PCRS!

The PORA Pool is maintained and staffed with lifeguards by SwimAtlanta Pool Management (SAPM).  If you want to host a party at the PORA Pool, you will need to first make a reservation using PCRS, and then you’ll need to follow the guidelines below established by SAPM for staffing your party with lifeguards.  If you have any questions, you can contact the PORA Pool.  Things you need to know about reservations:

• Reservations must be made two weeks in advance
• There is no fee to reserve the pavilion — you need only clean up afterwards, remove trash, and rearrange furniture to its original position.
• You may be required to hire additional lifeguards.  This cost is paid directly to SwimAtlanta Pool Management.
• All parties are limited to 25 attendees.
• Parties with 15 or more children must hire an additional lifeguard.
• Unexpected attendees or pool users may create a situation where there are more swimmers than the Lifeguard(s) can safely watch, and in this case the pool may close temporarily until staffing adjustments can be made or the total number of swimmers is reduced.

Swim Atlanta Pool Party Guidelines

1. Lifeguards will arrive at the start time of your party.  If you want lifeguards there in advance, your start time should reflect that advanced time accordingly.
2. Payment is expected at the time you book your party.  Parties are not fully confirmed until payment is received.  Parties not paid in advance will be subject to cancellation.
3. Parties without two weeks’ notice may not be staffed and therefore will not be allowed.
4. One additional lifeguard is required for any party involving persons between the ages of 13-21, or parties where alcohol is present.
5. One additional lifeguard is required for any party involving 15 or more children.
6. If your party is during a time when a lifeguard is already on duty and you have less than 25 attendees, or during a Swim At Your Own Risk (SAYOR) time period, you may still need to hire an additional lifeguard.  Adding your party to the swimmers normally at the pool may cause the total number of swimmers to exceed 25.  The date, time of day and past pool usage are used to determine average pool attendance.  Call SAPM to help determine necessary coverage.
7. For parties involving children you must provide one adult chaperon for every 10 children under the age of 18.
8. Payment rates are as follows:
   1. $20.00 per hour per Lifeguard
   2. $40.00 per hour per Lifeguard if alcohol is present
9. Pool parties must be scheduled with SAPM and payment received with 2 weeks’ advance notice at a minimum.
10. You must coordinate your party with SAPM as well as reserving the pavilion for your party with PCRS.
11. Your party time will include 15 minutes per Lifeguard for cleanup after the party.  If your party is exceptionally fun and requires extraordinary cleanup, you may be billed an additional amount.  The party sponsor is responsible to assist in post-party cleanup.  Why not make it a group affair and get your party to cleanup too?  That makes for the most fun!
12. You must call SAPM at 770-992-7665 ext. 103 and give at least 4 hours notice to cancel your party and avoid charges.  This includes inclement weather cancellations.
13. Lifeguards cannot work past midnight.
14. Lifeguards will receive regular breaks as outlined in PORA POOL RULES.
15. Lifeguards will enforce rules and regulations as outlined in PORA POOL RULES.
