Five reasons to visit outdoor pools this summer

When the sun is shining and the temperatures rise, there’s no better way to enjoy summer than a refreshing dip in one of our outdoor pools. Whether you’re planning a family day out or a solo swim, our pools offer a fun, affordable and convenient way to cool off. Don’t forget your sunscreen and towel. 

Here are five reasons why our outdoor pools are the place to be this summer!

1. Free admission 

One of the best parts about our outdoor pools? They’re completely free! All eight locations offer free admission during public swim times, making it easy and affordable for individuals and families to enjoy quality recreation all summer long. Just bring your swimsuit and dive in. Whether you’re new to swimming or looking to build your skills, it’s a great place to grow your confidence in the water.

2. Family-friendly fun 

Our outdoor pools are made for family fun. With shallow areas for kids, shaded spots where adults can relax and a warm, social atmosphere, there is something for everyone to enjoy. More than just a place to swim, our pools are vibrant community hubs where friends and families come together to connect, unwind and create lasting summer memories.
 

3. A great way to stay fit

Swimming is a great way to work out your whole body without putting stress on your joints. It’s good for people of all ages. At our outdoor pools, you can swim laps or enjoy more leisurely exercise by wading, gliding or simply moving through the water to stay active and healthy. Plus, being outside lets you breathe fresh air and get vitamin D from the sun, which is good for both your body and mind.
 

4. Citywide locations

With eight outdoor pools across the city, you're never far from a fun and refreshing place to cool off. Whether you're a local or just visiting, our pools are easy to access and conveniently located, making it easy to enjoy a swim when it works for you. Many pools are in or near scenic parks. This means you can enjoy green spaces, walking trails and picnic areas before or after your swim.
 

5. Beat the summer heat

When summer heats up, nothing beats cooling off in a refreshing outdoor pool. The combination of sparkling water, warm sunshine, and a gentle breeze creates the perfect atmosphere for both relaxation and fun. While the summer warmth is enjoyable, sometimes you just need a quick way to cool down. An outdoor swim is one of the best ways to stay comfortable and make the most of the season.

Our outdoor pools offer fun, fitness and community, all in the fresh air and sunshine. Whether you want to spend time with family, practice swimming or cool off on a hot day, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
