Vancouverites don't have much time left to get in a refreshing dip in one of the city's outdoor pools this season.
Stormy weather cleared the haze out of Vancouver on Tuesday, Aug. 29, prompting officials to announce the closing dates for the city's outdoor swimming facilities, including the popular outdoor pool in Kitsilano.
All of Vancouver's pools will close for the season on Monday, Sept. 4, except for Second Beach Pool, which has extended hours until Sept. 10. The pool is a heated, outdoor pool located in Stanley Park.
The city says that the closure will coincide with the re-opening of the Vancouver Aquatics Centre on Sept. 11 after an annual refit.
