If you’ve been craving some sunshine and pool-time, here’s some good news — six outdoor swimming pools will officially open Saturday in Calgary.
“We had over 105,000 swimmers last year,” said Jennifer Jensen, executive director at Calgary Outdoor Swimming Pools Association. “It’s a great outdoor swim [at the pools]. They’re fun, they’re open to everyone.”
The wading pool at Stanley Park will stay closed but the main pool will be open for business, according to Jensen.
Forest Lawn Pool and South Calgary Outdoor Pool will remain shut until July.
“We just had some supply chain issues with items that are needed for maintenance,” Jensen said. “We’re almost there.”
In terms of staffing, the pools are fully staffed and Jensen doesn’t foresee any issues this summer.
“Our staffing mostly comes as university students so they’re looking for a job in this time frame,” Jensen said. “We’re a perfect match for them.”
The pools that will open Saturday include:
- Bowview Outdoor Pool.
- Highwood Outdoor Pool.
- Millican Ogden Outdoor Pool.
- Mount Pleasant Outdoor Pool.
- Silver Springs Outdoor Pool.
- Stanley Park Outdoor Pool.
