The end of the school year and rising temperatures are sure signs that summer is approaching in Yakima. So, too, is the opening of Franklin Pool, 2102 Tieton Drive.
The roughly three-month-long 2024 summer season at the City of Yakima’s outdoor pool will officially begin when Franklin Pool opens its doors for the first time this year on Tuesday, June 18th.
Franklin Pool will offer recreational swim sessions Monday through Friday from 12:30 pm to 8:00 pm and from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, recreational swimming sessions will be offered from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
Lap swimming and water walking sessions at Franklin Pool will be offered Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
Swimming lessons and Aqua Zumba will also be offered at Franklin Pool this summer.

To close out the 2024 summer season, Franklin Pool will host its 18th annual Paws in the Pool event on Sunday, August 18th, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Dogs and their owners will get to enjoy the pool on the last day of the season just as they have for over a decade. Paws in the Pool admission is free for dogs, but owners pay regular admission fees.
