Officially, summer begins as soon as the solstice occurs; unofficially, when the temperature warrants a full bath in a pool of water. Regarding the latter, the public swimming pools (municipally owned and regionally owned) declared the swimming pool season started on Wednesday, May 15.
There are some differences between the municipal and regional ones: prices, capacity, reservation methods. And in this article we recap what each one is and how to book them.

The public swimming pools of the Madrid City Council
The municipally owned swimming pools, on the other hand, will be open until September 8 and their schedule is from 10am to 9pm. Its price is somewhat cheaper (4.5€ the standard ticket) and it is also scalable depending on the circumstances of each person.
