South Kingstown's Roy Carpenter Beach is the only swimming area still closed for high bacteria counts.
The Upper and Lower ponds at the Kent County YMCA were reopened to swimming on Monday. The Rhode Island Department of Health said bacteria levels were once again normal.
At this time, Roy Carpenter Beach in South Kingstown is the only beach that is still closed. Both Warwick ponds were closed on August 1 for high bacteria levels.
