The Montgomery County Department of Recreation announces the season opening of its seven outdoor pools at noon on Saturday, May 27.

• Bethesda Pool 301-652-1598, at Little Falls Pkwy & Hillandale Road, Bethesda;
• Germantown Outdoor Pool, 240-777-8067, 18905 Kingsview Road;

As the summer swim season gets underway, residents are encouraged to become familiar with the safety rules posted at the pools. Children are most at risk for water-related accidents and it is important they are always closely supervised while in and around the pool.

 

Because safety is the priority for Department of Recreation programs, it may be necessary to temporarily halt admission to pools when capacity is reached. Additional swimmers will be admitted as soon as space becomes available.
