Boise city pools raise age for solo swimmers

(Idaho Statesman)

What’s new this year? At all six of Boise’s outdoor pools, the minimum age that kids can go to city pools without an adult has been raised to 9 from 7 years old.

Why did the rule change? It’s a public safety issue, said Boise Parks and Rec recreation coordinator George Scott. “We have a finite amount of guards we can put on at a time,” he said. “In order to keep all of our patrons safe, we need to have more parents at the pool watching their young kids.”

When do the pools open? Get your suits ready – you can dive in at 1:30 p.m. Friday.
