Today, we’ll be feeling the heat, with temperatures reaching into the 90s — just one of many heat waves to expect in this hotter than usual summer.
But don’t sweat it. We’ve gathered several San Jose community + club pools, and local water parks so you can stay cool in the summer heat.
🏊 Community pools
Not looking to spend too much to stay cool? No problem. There are six San Jose-owned pools that will open to the public on Mon., June 13. Alviso + Bierbach Pool are managed by AnT Swim School, offering $22 classes at all levels + public swim hours starting at $3. Visit the City’s website for details about other community pools, classes, and free public swim options.
