(KTXL) — The city of Sacramento has several neighborhood pools that residents can use to cool off during a hot day. 

Admission to the pools is $2 for children and $4 for adults, although the majority of the pools won’t be open until June, and each one has its own hours of operation.

Sacramento also has the North Natomas Aquatics Complex, at 2601 New Market Drive. Beginning on May 27, it will be open Monday through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Friday through Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Admission at the complex is $7 for people 18 and over, $5 for children between 2 and 17, and free for children under 2.

For those who visit the pools and complex, a swim test is required in order to go to an area of the pool that is up to chest length for the swimmer.

“A patron must submerge their head under water, surface, and then immediately swim the width of the pool (15 yards) on their front while comfortably maintaining forward movement without touching the bottom or sides of the pool,” the city said.

Anyone who doesn’t pass the swim test won’t be allowed into the deeper parts of the pool or be allowed to stand on stairs or structures near that part of the pool.
