Weather Delays Opening of 9 Public Swimming Pools in Lincoln

swimming-poolLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nine public swimming pools in Lincoln will open two days later than planned because recent rain and cool temperatures have made pool water too cold for safe swimming.

The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department made the announcement Thursday. The pools are now scheduled to open Monday for swimming. They typically open days earlier.

Officials say while the facilities will not allow swimming until then, they’ll open Saturday for registrations, sales and other requests.

The pools will be available for use through August.
