I did not know you were from Allentown.  Some of my formative years were spent in Bethlehem, where we summered at the Hellertown pool.

I haven't heard anything but the day is young. I know they are mad because people were too close on Lake Michigan's different beaches.

Fascinating as "pool" water is a bacteria killer (chlorine) and in addition to working out your breathing, upping your circulation and blood-flow it is just plain fun! Forsake not common sense for one day it won't be there from lack of use.....Of opinions there is no end. Of your sense, beleive in it!

No, thank goodness! 

In fact, the CDC says that chlorine actually kills the virus so, as long as pool-goers maintain social distancing outside the pool, it is safe to swim.

SO, since chlorine kills the virus, I think all Americans need to take a swim - NOW!!

It is  a squeeze the balloon thing. Places that are closed cause more people to gather at the places that they still have access to. And those who understand their relevance in life is waining find they can still make other miserable and act to do so.

COVID-19 sinks chances of some Lehigh Valley public pools opening this summer

Will, you may have also heard that PA Real Estate Commission is actively investigating complaints about licensees violating Gov's RE shut down. We're still under non-essential restrictions.  Agents reporting other agents. Gov. sending state police to investigate. What a scene.

We haven't been told much in regards to pools yet, but I do know they are accepting applications for lifeguard positions this summer which makes me think they plan to open at some point.

If distance is a problem, pools should open but only allow x number of people to enter. I really think outside events/areas/etc should have looser rules. You're not in an enclosed space where germs accumulate.

No word on what they are doing with the Pools here yet. For anyone living under a rock, I can weigh in on NYC public pools- they are closed for the summer.
