The alligator escaped its enclosure just down the block from the home with the pool, animal services said.
An officer contacted the owner of Jack's Jungle, who responded to the scene alongside animal control officers.
The alligator, "aptly named" Splash, was safely removed from the pool.
"The owner confirmed it was his gator (lawfully owned) and they worked together to remove Splash from his vacation spot. He was then safely returned home to his enclosure," the post said. "See you later, alligator."
