Dive into summer: Here's what to know about city and county pools

May 22—Summer heatwaves are fast approaching — perfect for splashing around in a cool pool.

Pools in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County open this weekend.

Splash pads — which are free to the public — will be open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays from June 13 to July 31.

All city pools will be closed May 28 through May 31 for staff training, then reopen for regular summer hours June 1. Swimming lessons are offered at various pools around the city, and registration for July classes opens June 17. Prices to enter the pools vary by age, but indoor pools have a Friday night $1 entry fee special. The city offers annual and summer passes for individuals or families.
