Kids - swimming

[wintersbk]

I was wondering if there is a public pool for swimming in the Seagrove area. We are staying at Seagrove Dunes in a couple of weeks and the kids are like little water-bugs.

Also, we have noticed a water park in PCB & one in Destin. Does anyone prefer one over the other?

Freeport's public pool is going to open soon. Wow, a real town, sort of. South Walton does not have a public pool, except for the lakes.

soon? As in the next two weeks?

Story on Freeport Pool
The Olympic size pool is scheduled to open in early June, but not sure on the date. See the link above for the scoop.

This begs the question, why not just rent a place with a pool? Does the Santa Rosa Beach Club offer day or weekly passes to use the pool? Speaking of SRB Club, has anyone been to their restaurant lately? I haven't been in over five years, but it used to be pretty decent. I never hear anyone mention it anymore. Back in the day, it was one of the few places to eat along 30-A.

We have been to both. We had more fun at Destin. The park layout is not good but there are way more things the kids can ride/slide/do. The staff was more alert as well. (my kids were 6 and 8)

Check the restaurant thread.

Slight oversight on our part. Anyway now we're booked without a pool and I am looking for alternatives. Thanks to all who replied! This board is a great source for information on your community.

The last time we were in the area we had lunch at the Bait House in Watercolor. We took a walk on the bridge over the lake and saw a 3 or 4 foot snake in the water. Could it have been a water moccasin? I ask because of the suggestion about swimming in the lake.
