Pools

Anonymous
We are just dying for some pool time. We live in a condo with no outdoor space and love being outside for walks and parks but this heat! I know dc pools are closed and honestly- I’m not sure I’d feel totally safe at a pool unless it wasn’t crowded. Has anyone looked into hotel pools in nearby MD or VA? I feel like hotels are probably kind of empty so maybe it’s safe?

I don't understand how you can "feel like" hotel pools are kind of empty. Explain? Either they are or they aren't. There are no feelings involved.

A lot of hotel pools are small and indoors as well.

Look into some of the far flung resorts if you're willing to spend money on a hotel. The ski resorts are pretty deserted. Maybe places like The Woods in West Virginia.

MoCo public pools are restricting use, but you can sign up and get a slot, even as a DC resident. It's not too crowded at all.

I “feel” like your response is unhelpful. My assumption is no one is really touring it up in dc this summer therefore a nice Saturday stay nearby could be safe and enjoyable. Not looking for a vacation- just a pool.

I didn’t know we could have access to MOCO - thanks for that!

Be sure to call the hotel directly. I stayed in one recently and the pool was closed, blocked off by signs. This wasn't mentioned on the website at all.

How about posting on next door? You may be able to find someone with their own pool who is willing to rent it to your family for an hour for a reasonable rate?
