The weather here has been fantastic this past week... perfect sunshine all day and every day... it finally feels like summer! On Saturday, we hit Kitsilano Pool for the first time this year... and it was great (well except for my husband's mild sunburn... need to get a higher SPF)! It's Canada's longest pool (137 metres/150 yards) and is a salt water pool (so no nasty chlorine). Situated on the water, it has a fantastic backdrop of the downtown skyline and surrounding mountains... obviously I didn't take this photo, but it is a great one to show what I'm talking about. Hopefully we can try and go once a week... I need to practice my sad swimming skills.

Ok. It's official. Greatest pool in the world.
Gorgeous pool!!
We opened ours yesterday..I wish it looked like that. Wow!
You're so lucky!
i love kits pool - it's the best.
as soon as i get my little guy one of those baby sunscreen surf suit things, we're hitting it up. ;-)
I am so jealous! We used to go there all the time when I lived over by the university. :(
Missing home! Why is Vancouver one of those places that steals your heart even when you are 1000's of miles away?
Wow! Cool pool, wish we had one like that where I live in England, it's sooo hot today!
I've never seen it from above! It almost looks like another place altogether. ;)
That's one amazing pool.
WOW! That's about all I can say, other than, I wouldn't want to keep up with it's maintenance.
What a stunning view! But man, that water looks cold!
Wow , that looks so inviting !
That looks awesome. We've been swimming a lot as well, but the pool we go to isn't nearly as impressive. ;)
That is one gorgeous pool!
that is the coolest pool!! what a great idea! I need to get back to Vancouver!!!!

wow! this is such a beautiful shot - I cannot believe the size of this pool. how many lifeguards does it have - surely there must be tons. - oh, and the orchids, to die for. I have one, which I've had for 2 yrs. - water it when I remember - and it just sent out 2 new blooms - go figure.
Oh my! I want to swim in this pool!
Michelle-
This is a wonderful picture! Awesome!
