This past weekend, the city's outdoor pools opened for the summer.

2 pools the Clougherty Pool on Bunker Hill Street in Charlestown and the Mirabella Pool in the North end will be open every day from 11am to 7pm through September.

Here's a list of other pools in the area:

You can find contact information (here) if you'd like to call and see what their hours of operation are.

And if you're a high roller, the Colonnade Hotel Roof Top Pool is available to the public Monday-Friday during the summers from 8am to 8pm for a $30 entrance fee per day. It's free for guests of the hotel.

Boston's only Roof Top Pool, nicknamed RTP, is an exquisite spot for dining al fresco, with captivating views of the Boston cityscape.
