Parks and recreation to open pools for adult swim only

On Wednesday, Oct. 28, Tucson Parks and Recreation will open five pools for adult lap swim only. This is in addition to Edith Ball Adaptive Recreation Center which opened last month for lap swim.

Pools will be operating at reduced capacity and limited to one lap swimmer per lane. Those interested in visiting a pool for lap swim may walk-in or call for availability.

• All pool attendees must wear face coverings when they are on the deck or other areas outside the water. It is not advised to wear a mask in the water.
• Swimmers are required to stay 6 feet apart from anyone who is not living in their household.
• Bring your own drinking water, towel, and any equipment such as noodles or kickboards. No equipment will be provided.
• Restrooms, sinks, and deck equipment will be cleaned and sanitized regularly.
