With summer just around the corner, you might be wondering when you'll be able to cool off at one of Calgary's outdoor pools.

Swimming enthusiasts can rejoice, because the wait is almost over.

Calgary has eight outdoor pools, all of which are managed by The Calgary Outdoor Swimming Pools Association (COSPA).

According to the COSPA website, all eight outdoor public pool facilities will open in June.

The City of Calgary also has eight spray parks and four wading pools.

Officials say the spots normally open around Father's Day weekend, but are advising people keep an eye on the city's website for specific dates.
