Swimming pool in Philadelphia.
It's time you dig your swimsuit out of the closet, because the first group of Philadelphia's public pools are opening this week.
The city has more than 70 indoor and outdoor public pools available to all residents this summer. All pools will operate from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m. until further notice.
Each pool will have dedicated times available for family swim, adult swim, and open swim, so make sure to check each location for additional information.
Not a swimmer? Cool off at any of the city's spray grounds.
The city is rolling out all pools in groups, so here are the Week 1 openings. Week 2 openings were announced Monday, June 24.
