It can feel like there is no escaping the heat right now with a giant heatwave taking over the province but there are tons of great indoor pools in Calgary to help you cool off.
If you’re looking to take a break from the grounds this week, a pool break is just what you need. End off your day with some patio beers and you’ll feel energized again so you can hit the grounds again running.
So if you are looking for a cool place to hit the water and avoid some serious sun rays, here are five of the best options in Calgary.
