Getting in the swim of things at Frances Slocum Pool
KINGSTON TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — You couldn’t ask for more perfect swimming weather to start the unofficial kickoff to summer.
A decent-sized crowd hit the pool Saturday at Frances Slocum State Park in Luzerne County’s back mountain.
Temperatures topping 80 degrees sure inspired kids and adults to take a dip for the first time this season.
Some of these swimmers get their share of splashing at this pool each year.
