Outdoor pools across the City of Denver opened to the public on Friday, just in time for the weekend heat. Denver Parks & Recreation operates 15 indoor and 16 outdoor swimming pools. 

Summer passes range from $20 to $50 depending on the type of pass and the age of the participant. Children ages 2-17 are $20, adults between 25-64, summer passes are $50 and $30 for seniors. 

There are day passes available for $1 to $3.50 depending on the location and day. 

Those with memberships to Denver Parks & Rec can enjoy the pools as a perk of membership.

Pools across the city remain open, weather depending, until Aug. 11. Pools are closed on June 19 and July 4 in observance of city holidays. 

According to the Denver Parks & Rec website, "Outdoor pools may also close for unexpected maintenance and during inclement weather when lightning is in the area or temperatures or forecasted to remain below 65 degrees."
