Bethesda Pool

Montgomery County runs four indoor pools year-round. They also run seven outdoor pools during the summer, one of them being the Bethesda Pool on Little Falls Parkway. (It's nice to get away from the thundering echoes of the natatorium for a few months.)

The facilities include a large pool with a diving well, a tot pool, a 6-lane 25-meter lap pool, and a junior pool that I've yet to see open. There are also two diving boards and a short water slide (nothing like the one at Montgomery Aquatic). Pool hours vary over the summer, but they are open afternoons only, generally from around noon to 6:00 or 8:00 pm. Check schedules each year, as they open for weekend swimming a little before (and after) they open for their full weekday summer hours.

Even at it's most crowded, there's plenty of room to sit and/or swim, including the lap pool. Best of all, there's shade over half of the tot pool, so you don't have to fry as your toddler gets accustomed to chlorine fumes. They have a snack bar open with hot dogs, pizza, ice cream, etc. And they have outdoor showers to rinse off after your swim. The biggest challenge, at times, is the parking. But they're right by the Capital Crescent Trail, so you could always ride over.

One other thing: On the hottest days of the summer, they waived the admission fee from 6:00 to 8:00. It's not all day, or even peak heat, but it's still pretty damn nice of them.

It's nice you made people aware of this...especially during August.
