It’s safe to say that we’re only in June and temperatures are already hitting sky-rocket numbers. How are we able to spend more than 2 hours outdoors in 30+ degree weather and not feel like dying? I know that when it’s this hot, I need a pool. Summer is always bittersweet when you know of someone who has a pool, but you’re not close enough to just “casually” invite yourself over. Having a pool is a luxury, but we’re also fortunate enough to live in a city that has many outdoor pool available to us! I know it feels like ages since we’ve last visited a pool in The 6ix, so let us remind you of the best pools in Toronto!
