Boston's Pools Opening Soon for Summer
Ten city pools will be open seven days a week starting on June 29, including one in the South End.
Soon, you'll be able to cool down in a city pool any day of the week.
The city announced on Monday that Boston's 10 Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF) city swimming pools and one city beach will stay open every day of the week starting on June 29.
In addition to the 10 pools open seven days a week, all of the city's pools are open on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. During the week, pool hours vary depending on location.
