Get the swim trucks out of the closet and find the sunscreen, it’s pool time.

Today, June 20th, the City of Richmond’s public pools¹ will open for business–the business of free swimming, that is! Weekday hours are 1:00 to 8:00 PM. Free swim is from 1:00 to 4:30 PM; family swim[^1] will be from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM; and adult swim is from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Weekend hours are 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Sundays. As I mentioned, admission is $0.

The pools will stay open throughout the summer before closing up on Labor Day, September 7th.
