On October 1, 2024, all nine public pools in San Francisco will offer free access to residents, a response to the extreme heat forecasts expected in the city. The US National Weather Service anticipates temperatures will soar into the 90s, prompting the initiative to provide a respite for those seeking relief from the heat. This initiative not only allows for fun and recreation but also emphasizes safety as it offers a communal space to cool off during unseasonable weather.
The pools will be available without cost from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., although certain times are reserved for lessons and structured activities. Notably, family swim times will range from about 90 minutes to 2 hours, welcoming families to enjoy some relaxation and splashing around together. And while being invited to experience the joy of swimming, visitors are encouraged to check specific pool schedules to ensure they can make the most of this free opportunity.
