If you haven’t had your fill of swimming this summer, make sure you to do so at these two outdoor pools.

Kitsilano Pool is 137 metres and includes a water park and saltwater pool. The pool underwent a renovation in 2018 for $3.3 million and included repairs to the pool deck and addition of pumps to replenish seawater and for dewatering.

According to CNN, Kitsilano was ranked as one of the world’s “best tidal and oceanside pools” and the only location in North America to make the list.

New Brighton pool has a heated leisure pool and a sloped beach-style entry for children.
