There will be seven free public swims hosted at Seattle Parks and Recreation pools to celebrate April Pool’s Day 2015.
Before you know it, we’ll be trading in April showers for blue skies and bathing suits. On Saturday, April 18, six of our pools are hosting FREE public swims. We’ll be teaching water and boating safety and will have fun activities for kids.
