The swimming pool opens in the morning around 5:00 a.m., and it closes about 9:00 p.m. Uh, it costs about four dollars to get in for a one-day pass. I always encourage parents [to] when they bring their children to keep an eye on them and maybe have a buddy system where one friend sticks together with another.
