Well here we go, maybe things really are getting back to normal.

The Brewer Parks and Recreation Department announced today via Facebook that the Brewer Municipal Swimming Pool will open for the summer season on Friday, June 25th.

As we all know, municipal swimming pools were closed in our area last summer because of the nasty COVID-19 pandemic.

This of course will be welcome news for the kids in the area who are always looking for something fun to do during the warm summer months in Brewer.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
