city pools open tomorrow
Richmond’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities will open its eight outdoor public swimming pools for the summer at 1PM tomorrow, including the Powhatan Pool at 5051 Northampton Street. The pools are free for the public to use and open Mondays through Fridays from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, each pool offers family or adult only swim times.
New this year are Water Smarts classes at the department’s Hotchkiss pool, provided in partnership with the YMCA of Greater Richmond. These classes are just $10 and are for teens 13 and older and adults, parents and their children, and children ages 6 through 12. For more information or to register for a class, call 646-1441.
