Philadelphia public pools begin opening for summer

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Now that Philadelphia public schools are out for summer, it means the city pools are set to start opening.

The ceremonial first jump will take place at 2 p.m. Friday at the John B. Kelly Pool in Fairmount Park.

This comes as the Philadelphia region is under a Heat Advisory amid record-breaking temperatures.

The city plans to open more than 60 neighborhood pools across Philadelphia throughout the summer.

That will be on a rolling basis.

All pools will offer free swim lessons for children.
