Visitors to the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center scatter themselves around the pool on Thursday, June 4, 2015.

School is out, and graduation celebrations are over. Memorial Day is less than a week away, and forecasts call for 80-plus-degree temperatures.

Another harbinger of summer — the season opening of the Lawrence pool — is scheduled for Saturday.

The Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Kentucky St., will be open to the public from this Saturday through Monday, Sept. 5, according to a news release from the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.

The hours are:

• May 28 to Aug. 21: 1 to 8:45 p.m.

• July 4: 1 to 6:45 p.m.

• Aug. 22 to 26 and Sept. 2: 4 to 7:45 p.m.

• Aug. 27 to 28 and Sept. 3 to 5: 1 to 8:45 p.m.

Daily lap swim is available Monday through Saturday from June 6 to Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m and August 22 to 26 and Sept. 2 from 7:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Lap swim will also be held Aug. 27 and Sept. 3 from 8 to 12:45 p.m.

The cost to enter the pool is $3 for those ages 5 to 17 and 60-plus. For 18- to 59-year-olds, entry is $4. Admission is free for kids under 5. Thirty-day passes are available for $24.

The annual Pooch Plunge, when dogs can take a dip before the pool is emptied for the summer, will cap off the summer swim season Sept. 6 from 4 to 7 p.m.

The South Park Wading Pool, 1131 Massachusetts St., opens for the season June 6.
