Everyone knows summer in San Francisco is more about sweaters than swimming pools. But there's no need to fret.

And for the traditionalists: there’s the token hotel pool that's actually open to the public on occasion. Here, a mix of all of these and more to get you into swim gear at some point in the coming months.
