I don’t handle summer weather too well. Heck, I even break a sweat when attempting to tie my shoes. I’m comfortable wearing shorts in 60 degree weather. So on a day like today, humid with a high of 85, my brain is thinking more about keeping cool than work. What better way to cool off on a sweltering summer day than taking a dip in the pool?

If you’re not lucky enough to own a pool, there are plenty of local options in the Albany area. Most local pools open for the season at the end of June and close around Labor Day. Pool hours are, on average, open at about 10 or 11am and close 4 to 6pm.
