Pool season is officially open in Philly for the first time in two years, following the Department of Parks & Recreation’s difficulties hiring enough lifeguards.
For Jeremiah, a 12-year-old from South Philly, this day couldn’t come soon enough.
“I feel like it’s going to the pool for your first time again. It’s a special day,” he said, plastic blue shark goggles flipped upside down on his head. “I love it. I’m enjoying myself.”
