Warm weather is here and thankfully, the Madison area is full of beaches and pools that are perfect for cooling off on those hot summer days. To round up the best spots around town, we caught up with Alisa Sleep, co-founder of the Madison Family parenting site, formerly known as Madison Mom. Alisa shared her favorite spots and what she keeps in mind before getting in the water. Ready to dive in?

🐟 Are the lakes safe for swimming? You can check the lake forecast from the Clean Lakes Alliance. Public Health Madison and Dane County also monitor the beaches for harmful bacteria.
