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 Italians 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.
