I am a new pool owner and I never realized how many things other pool owners never tell you. I mean they have all chimed in on chlorine, fences, and what pool floats they love but not about frogs that find their way into your pool.

There are city pools that are waiting for guidance on when they can open because of COVID-19. Albany City pools have decided that their opening date will be June 26th.

It seems that the pandemic is reaching into the summer and cities and towns across the Capital Region are starting to make decisions. It looks like the Town of Clifton Park is the first one to postpone summer events.

We are experiencing an extremely dangerous heat index this weekend and to make sure communities can keep cool, a lot of cities and towns are extending pool hours and adding cooling stations.

I know we are in the middle of the winter, but there is good news for a Capital Region city and their pools for the summer. There is funding available but they may run into a slight problem.
