Baltimore Pool Hopping Safety Alert

Baltimore officials are sounding the alarm over “pool hopping” — late-night swims in public pools without lifeguards — after a near-fatal incident last year where a young man needed CPR from a police helicopter. The Department of Recreation and Parks is urging everyone to respect pool hours and lifeguard presence, warning that unsupervised swimming can be deadly. Chief of Aquatics Nikki Cobbs still battles nightmares from the rescue, underscoring the real danger. Starting June 16th, six park pools will open six days a week, and officials are asking the public to intervene or report unsafe behavior. Safety isn’t optional — always swim with lifeguards on duty.
