Municipal Swimming Pools Can Be Used All Year Round For Recreation and Education

Is your community swimming pool having a difficult time being financially and membership stable? Perhaps, it's not just the public relations program but, the weather. Yes, I said the weather!

The weather, is the most important factor for the In water time your pool is giving to its users. It's those cool Spring days of temperatures in the sixties and quick cooling in the late Summers and Fall that makes a great difference in a comfortable swimming environment. 80-85 degree water is perfect for my old senior bones perhaps, it would be for you too?

What do you do in Fall and Winter hours, just close up the pool and not make a useful teaching arm of the school system? Here are a few examples I have found that should stir up up your thinking caps to share and enjoy. I will post more details in the comment sections later.
