After renovations and COVID closure, a popular Coral Gables attraction has reopened

Just in time for the end of summer — don’t kid yourself that it’s fall in Miami yet — Venetian Pool has reopened.

The historic pool in Coral Gables was closed last November, according to CBS4 News, and set to reopen in March. Instead, COVID-19 kept it closed until now.

Now the pool is reopened with, you guessed it, limited capacity and new rules, the most notable being that you need to wear a mask unless you’re swimming.

Would-be swimmers must also have their temperatures taken before entering, and all reservations for the pool must be made online in advance. According to the city website, The Caves and The Bridge areas will remain closed for now.

The 820,000-gallon pool, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is fed with spring water from an underground aquifer.
