Are your pools open or closed

So the “pause” closure here in RI ended yesterday. I was looking forward to getting a swim in after three weeks of only cycling and jogging. I checked the YMCA pool schedule to reserve a time to swim. Thereâ€s nothing listed. So I call the branch. “Oh, the pool is closed for routine maintenance until January 4th.” GOD it infuriates me when pools choose wintertime to do routine maintenance. Why in the world donâ€t they do it in summertime when at least some of the pool users could get something of a swim in the open water? Geez. I made a check of the other nearby branches...theyâ€re not allowing visiting members during the pandemic. Dan Or: Let's see. We're closed for 3 weeks pause. Let's do our routine maintenance during the 3 weeks pause so we can open right away after! Doh!
