Open the outdoor pools and run them the same way they have been run for decades. Our taxes pay for it #freekitspool

@vanparkboard the water at kits pool is at least 2C to 3C warmer than it has ever been in past decade. this is an absolute hazard for the lap swimmers in particular, we are all overheating after 2 lengths and it is insanity. people swim in the freezing ocean and your body acclimates to the temperature, please use common sense and turn it DOWN. It is easier to get out and get warm in the sun, rather than overheat in the pool and get out into the sun and in the showers that also run hot water. Are you trying to induce heat stroke in swimmers?
