Boston to re-open outdoor pools in Charlestown, North End

The mayor's office announced today that the Clougherty Pool in Charlestown and the Mirabella Pool in the North end will re-open to Boston residents tomorrow, and will remain open every day, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., through Labor Day.

The city's 16 indoor pools remain open only to participants in city summer programs.

Of course, this being a pandemic and all, there are new regulations: Pools will only be open for up to 40% of their previous capacity, and would-be lappers need to reserve a time for a 90-minute session the day before.

Also, locker rooms will be shut, so come already dressed to swim - and bring a mask for those times you're not in the water, and make sure to stay at least six feet away from other people not in your household. A maximum of three kids under 12 are allowed per adult.
