Public pools in metro Phoenix: Here are all the places you can swim this summer

Kids and adults who want to cool off from the summer heat will be able to do just that at dozens of public pools throughout metro Phoenix in 2022.

After a couple of years of closures and/or very limited openings, many city pools are  either already open or getting ready to welcome swimmers.

Please note that some locations are facing challenges hiring enough lifeguards, so their opening schedules may be tentative at the moment and operating hours could change at any time. Check your preferred pool's website before you head out.

Here is when public pools throughout metro Phoenix are opening for summer 2022.
