Where do you live that has open community pools?

NP but we're in a MD suburb and our community pool opened. So did other neighboring communities.

I’ve been swimming all summer at our community pool and just tested negative for COVID (needed to take test prior to hospital admission). My pool made it easy to stay six feet away from everyone though. I’m so thankful I was able to swim this summer.

This is amazing! Thank you! I had no idea this existed!

I haven't tried it yet but there is an hourly air BnB type thing for backyard pools now called Swimply. A friend did it and it worked out fine. I guess the pricing means it would be more of an indulgence than a source of regular exercise but just so you know it's out there.

Use Swimply! Expensive but worth it.

Is anyone swimming while pregnant these days? I swam during each of my last two pregnancies and desperately miss the low-impact exercise. But the thought of going to a pool during COVID makes me very nervous. Has anyone found places to swim with particularly good physical distancing measures in place, or is this just wishful thinking? I'm in Alexandria but willing to drive just about anywhere...
