    The City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation and Youth Programs will open the Valley Pool doors to the public for the first time in 11 months starting Wednesday, February 24, 2021.

    โ€œWe are really excited to make this announcement and while we acknowledge this is not our full aquatics operations, it is a step in the right direction,โ€ said Parks Commissioner Julie LaFave. โ€œThere will be no public swim, swim lessons, or exercise classes at this time. We are easing way back in to ensure safety remains the priority.โ€

    Capacity will be limited to six lap swimmers per session. Advanced registration is required. Residents can register for one session per day.

    The YouTube video of the manatees and dolphins at play is unusual in that it captures the species together in such high numbers. The Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission estimates that only about 7,500 manatees exist in the wild in the south-eastern US, up from only around 1,250 two decades ago but far short of historical highs. Hundreds die each year from watercraft strikes and disease.
