It's Getting Hot in Here, So Grab Your Swimsuit and Find a Pool
We love our backyard BBQs, hiking trails, and taking the dogs to the park, but what summer truly makes us crave, is a dip in the pool.
If you don’t own a pool in your backyard, or your apartment complex pool is not open yet, where can you go to swim and stay safe? Read up on each pool on their website to access times and prices for swimming.

Prepping for the Big Swim
Now that you know where and when to swim, you need to find your swimsuit and your sunscreen. You can shop at big box stores like Walmart, Target, and Fred Meyer, and other apparel stores.
However, Yakima has a new hidden gem for swimsuit shopping: HERS Lingerie Boutique (402 N 5th Ave). This new store aims to make sure the ladies in town have stylish swimsuits for all shapes and sizes
So, make sure you get your swimsuit and grab a friend, head to the pool, and cool off this summer. Don’t let the heat make you sluggish.
A cool, refreshing swim is always a great option to stay active and feel great in the summer sun.
