Photo by Mr. T in DC.The city’s outdoor pools have already opened for business on the weekends, but aren’t scheduled to open on weekdays until June 21. But it’s so hot outside today, the city has decided to open one outdoor pool in seven of the city’s eight wards — sorry, Ward 3! — to help residents cool down.
The following pools will be open between 4 and 8 p.m. today; the pools are free to use, but in order to get in, you’ll need to have proof of D.C. residency.
