“Dear PoPville,
Would love to hear from readers about any options out there for DC residents to join swim clubs around the DMV. It seems most of them have restrictions based on residence. While you can buy a pool pass for MoCo pools, it would be great to be part of a private club community that is affordable.”
Another reader sends this interesting option from swimply “Book a local private pool by the hour”. Anyone ever use them?
Ed. Note: We are supposed to get an update about D.C. public pools on August 1st.
This would explain those trees we saw Thursday morning. Thanks to Sean Forschler for sending this clip “taken on New Hampshire Avenue and Dupont Circle at 3:57PM”
