The Kanawha City pool was packed. It was so full, people had to wait until other swimmers left to get in. The Kanawha City pool is the only Charleston city pool open so far this year.
The rest of the pools are set to open on Wednesday, but the North Charleston and Vandalia pools may not open at all this year.

Parents say its a great option, especially for little kids, to be outside and splash around.
The spray park is free and operated by the city of Hurricane.
