D.C. pools officially open Saturday. For families that attended Friday s kickoff, the opening of community pools and splash parks comes as great news after more than a year of restrictions and lockdowns. Last year I live right over there I was looking at out the window every day, hoping the pool would open, Allen said. It s a great relief. It was a very tough decision for us last year not to open our pools, Bowser said.
Some pools in the area won’t be opening this weekend due to a shortage of lifeguards. A notice was sent to residents in one Chevy Chase high-rise.
