Maxcy Gregg and Greenview pools open Thursday, June 4, to kick off Columbia’s summer swim season.
The city’s two outdoor pools were expected to open the second week of June instead of Memorial Day weekend in order to meet new safety requirements. Instead, both pools are open today during normal pool hours.
Park Planner Manager Damon McDuffie said although there are new safety features, it’s still important for swimmers to exercise safety. “The big thing with kids we emphasize is no running, because it’s easy to slip and fall,” he said. “Swimmers should be aware of their swimming ability, and there should be no excessive horseplay, no diving in shallow areas, no dunking people under the water or throwing people into the pool.”
