Eau Claire (WQOW) - As summer starts to wind down, Fairfax Pool is getting ready to close out its season.

The last day the pool will be open for swimming is this Saturday, August 25th. Thanks to a warm and dry summer, the pool has been a popular place to cool off. Fairfax Pool says it saw around 2,500 more visitors this year than in 2011.

"We were pretty constant in the beginning and then yeah, when we hit that high streak of the 3 to 4 weeks where it was 90 or 100 plus, then it really spiked up. Now that we're winding down and people are going on vacation we've seen a little less, but we'll still be ahead this year," said pool manager Christine Mohr.

Fairfax was not the only pool to see an increase in attendance. The community pool in Chippewa Falls saw about 20 more people per day compared to a year ago.
