SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Parks and Rec says 40,000 more swimmers went to city pools this summer than last year.
Jean Pearson says, believe it or not, there were more rain days a year ago.
Pearson says last July was booming attendance for Parks and Rec swimming pools because it was dry and hot. She says there were very few rain days forcing the pools to close for a full or half day.
Pearson says 2013’s numbers were still greater with 350,000 swimmers that summer.
