In Maryland, public pool opening dates vary by county and facility, but here are some specifics for 2025:
- Talbot County pools open for the summer season starting Memorial Day weekend, operating on weekends through early June, and then daily from June 14 to August 17, with additional weekend openings in late August and early September.
- Prince George’s County outdoor pools open on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at noon for a weekend schedule and shift to daily operations starting Thursday, June 19, 2025.
- Annapolis pools open daily starting Saturday, May 24, 2025, with school-year hours before switching to regular summer hours from June 14 onward.
- The Claude M. Potterfield Pool in Hagerstown opens on Memorial Day weekend and then daily from June 6 through August 24.
- Many Maryland outdoor pools follow a general pattern of opening around Memorial Day (late May) and remaining open through Labor Day (early September).
For the optimal time to open private pools, it typically depends on water temperature reaching about 70°F, usually between late April and early June in Maryland.
So, for most public pools in Maryland, especially in counties like Talbot, Prince George’s, Annapolis, and Hagerstown, you can expect openings around Memorial Day weekend (late May) and daily operations starting in mid-June through the summer season.
