PHOENIX — Triple-digit temperatures often call for a nice, cool dip in one of Phoenix’s 28 swimming pools.

“Pools will open over the Memorial Day weekend,” said David Urbinato, spokesman for the Phoenix Department of Parks and Recreation. “They’ll close for a couple days and full summer operation begins June 1.”

According to the city, daily admission to Phoenix city pools is $3 for adults. Admission price for those 50 and older or 17 and younger is $1. Season passes are available.

If your child needs to learn how to swim, the city offers swimming classes starting at $15.

The schedules and complete city pool information is available online or by calling (602) 534-6587.

We want to hear from you.
