EASTON — The Talbot County Council voted Tuesday, May 26, to keep its community pools closed through summer in response to the coronavirus pandemic. But the county’s summer camps could see an early July opening.
Preston Peper, Talbot’s parks and recreation director, recommended during the council’s meeting Tuesday at the Talbot County Community Center in Easton that the council not reopen the county’s public pools this summer because of staffing, safety, and financial concerns.
Peper said it’s “virtually impossible” for children to maintain a safe physical distance, especially when they’re in a swimming pool “constantly climbing on each other.”
