Memorial Day weekend is the official opening for pools across the region. With a high temperature of 57 degrees and rain forecasted, many are questioning if it makes sense to open on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember a lot of hot days, but not many cold ones, but that\u2019s Pittsburgh weather,\u201d Harvey Whittaker of Mount Washington said. \u201cThey\u2019re gonna get some kids that will go for sure cause they\u2019re crazy enough, but I think attendance will be down for the first few days, but it\u2019ll pick back up cause it\u2019s gonna get warmer next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s crummy swimming weather has some questioning if they\u2019d even get in the water. <\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Cause I wouldn\u2019t want to be freezing,\u201d Madelyn Daffner of Dormont said.<\/p>\n
In Avonworth, a recent mechanical issue forced crews to drain the pool. The good news: the problem is fixed, and the pool is getting filled once again, with an anticipated opening on Monday, May 25.<\/p>\n
Scott Township\u2019s Pool is filled and ready to go for anyone willing to take a dip.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though it\u2019s cold, … I\u2019ll go. I\u2019ll jump right in,\u201d Giana Williams said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d probably still go. (Why?) \u2018Cause pools are just fun to be at,\u201d Mikey Merriman of Dormont said.<\/p>\n
In Dormont, the pool is filled, but according to its website, it won\u2019t be opening Saturday due to low temperatures.<\/p>\n
This summer season, Dormont Pool and Scott Township Pools will honor Mount Lebanon Swim passes due to a pump issue at the Mount Lebanon pool. It\u2019s unclear when the Mount Lebanon pool will reopen.<\/p>\n
