Philadelphia Parks & Recreation begins opening pools this week
Parks and Recreation opened up three public swimming pools on Wednesday. The city will open up eight more by Sunday. This summer, 61 pools will open across Philadelphia, 11 more than last year. Parks & Rec offers free swimming lessons at all pools. However, this year it's mandatory for all children participating in summer camps to take lessons. There will be an estimated 700 pool staffers on duty across Philly this summer, including 350 lifeguards.
