Outdoor pool season is here

Despite it being the rainy season, two of Saitama's seasonal outdoor pools were open at the weekend. And I saw on the national news that several other pools in various parts of the country opened this past weekend. Furthermore, in Saitama, at least another two will start this weekend. Therefore, I have no doubt outdoor pools in other prefectures will also start from this weekend. 

The way it works normally though is that until summer holidays start, the pools only open on weekends. There are exceptions though. For example, in Saitama Prefecture, in Toda City they have outdoor pools for small children that open daily from July 1st annually. However, like all outdoor pools, they don't operate on days that the temperature is not right. That is, either too cold or too hot! 

A June start to the outdoor pool season is early. In my own prefecture its only in recent years that a couple of the pools (most of which are aqua parks) have started opening at the end of June. A reflection on the increase in both sunny days and temperatures. Some pools don't operate on rainy days, but some do. In fact, in recent years more pools are open despite the rain, once the temperature of the pool is sufficient.

Did you go to an outdoor pool at the weekend? Will you go this weekend!?
