Westchester County Swimming Areas Open Extra Hour
The county executive said a dip in the cool water will do wonders.
To give residents some respite from the extreme heat predicted for Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21, Westchester County-owned pools and beaches will remain open one additional hour each evening, Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced Friday.
“We can’t do anything about the weather, but we can help you stay cool. On the two forecasted hottest days, Saturday and Sunday, please come and enjoy our pools and beaches. A dip in cool waters does wonders,” he said.
The pools and beaches will remain open for one additional hour both days until 7:30 p.m., with no admission after 7 p.m.
