Has anyone been to the public pools in the city? I have been searching the somerville website and cant find any info other than where it is located. I cant find if there is a charge, hours or anything. I tried calling some numbers but since its Saturday noone is around.

The Dilboy pool on Rt. 16 is run by DCR and its free. I think its open from 11-7 every day. The website says they open at 10:00 on the weekdays but that is for adult lap swimming on Monday and Friday and for swimming lessons only for the rest of the week.

the kennedy pool is in the basement of the kennedy school (entrance on Sartwell, between Cedar & Cherry) hours & rates can be found here (http://www.somerville.k12.ma.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=6441) in a bunch of excel documents.

There is a MDC pool along the Charles way out towards Brighton/Watertown, right where Soldier's Field Road turns into Nonantum Road.

Every time I drove by, though, it was closed by the health department for testing positive for fecal coliforms.

So I guess you take your chances with that option.

I second the JFK pool. When I'm actually in town I'm usually there every evening (Mon-Thu)

There's also an outdoor DCR pool at Russell Field in Cambridge, on Rindge Avenue near Route 16. That's about a 12 minute walk down the bike path from Davis Square.
