Philadelphia to start opening pools Wednesday. Here's the full list

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Starting Wednesday, Philadelphia will begin to open some of its outdoor public pools for the summer.

It's the first day of summer break for School District of Philadelphia students.

The three pools set to open Wednesday are Fletcher Pool, Hunting Park Pool and Samuel Pool, which is where Malikai McCloud will be working as a lifeguard.

He said he chose the job thanks to the attractive pay rate.

"Starting off young, good money, minimum wage for a 16-year-old, you know; it's good money," said McCloud.

The city plans to open all 61 of its pools on a rolling basis this summer, which is a first since the pandemic. (You can see a full list below.)

Something new this year -- all public pools will host mandatory swim lessons for Parks & Recreation's 6,000 summer campers, creating a pipeline of possible future lifeguards.

"Every single pool has free swim lessons. Doesn't matter how old or how young, you can learn how to swim," said Bill Salvatore with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation.

The city is also hoping this can help curb gun violence.

"As temperatures flare up so do tempers at times right, so if you have the ability to not get angry by being cool in a pool why not do it," said Salvatore.
