#MyPhillyPoolTour2024
JULY 19, 2024
In full sunlight, this pool has warm water. The pool is mostly rectangular with an auxiliary kiddie shallow section that has stairs, but no railings.
A diverse free swim, mix of humanity in terms of age, family versus single, kids versus single adults, etc. A couple of elderly folks in the pool, which was nice to see on a sunny afternoon. One highlight was a grandparent with Cookie-Monster-blue hair doing bicep curls with their grandchild.
Pool house bathrooms are clean. Folks brought their bags in without any hassle.
I keep running out of space on my phone to take pictures. My camera quit on my way out, so I couldn’t take a photo of the sign on the front gate that indicates only swim caps can be worn on the head and “no scarves or du rags.” Sounds pretty severe, but luckily inside the pool they weren’t really enforcing a dress code as strictly as others do.
