Beat the Heat at Vancouver's Outdoor Pools

July 9, 2007 - It's not often but when it gets to be a sizzler-of-a-day in Vancouver, you can't beat the cooler temperatures of one of city's six outdoor pools. Located conveniently around town, these swim tanks of various sizes and depths offer considerably warmer waters than the salt-chuck but still refreshingly cool enough to keep your body temperature in the blue zone.

Affordable, fun and a great way to also keep in shape, swimming is a terrific way to cool off after a hard day on the playground or at the office. Check out the locations listed and beat this week's forecast with a pleasurable plunge!
