Public Swimming Pools

I'm Looking forward to seeing more good weather in Italy when we arrive later this week.  It's been wonderful here in England just recently.  I remember the hot days in early summer last year and our thwarted attempts to visit the olympic-sized public swimming pool in Villafranca in Lunigiana.  Despite temperatures of 30+ degrees, we had to wait several weeks for the official opening of the pool in mid July.  Isn't this crazy?

Whilst many s would not dream of going anywhere near 'cold' water, mid July is unusually late for a pool to open. Most open air pools and private beaches open around the first week of June, closing the first week of September to coincide with the school holidays.
