“As we welcome summer and mark the end of the school year, our public pools bring life to our neighborhoods. They offer a place for families to unwind, for children to play freely, and for communities to come together,” said Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. “Opening these free pools, especially in areas that need them most, reflects our commitment to joy, safety, and opportunity for every Philadelphia family.”

“Everyone deserves a safe place to cool off during the hottest months, regardless of their neighborhood,” said Susan Slawson, Commissioner, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. “Thanks to the commitment of nearly 400 lifeguards and pool maintenance attendants, we are on track to open our pools as planned this summer. The hard work of our Parks and Recreation team and city leaders ensures these spaces are safe, welcoming, and well-maintained.”

Free swim lessons will also be available for children, and select pools will offer swim lessons for adults through Parks & Rec.

Officials say parents and caregivers are responsible for watching their children on the pool deck and following all pool rules. Any child under the age of eight must be within arm’s reach of their parent or guardian at all times when in the water.
