Stay cool this BC Day long weekend!

We recommend finding a large body of water this weekend and just soaking in it. Our Daily Photo #2244 is from inplanview, who snapped this pic of the always beautiful Kitsilano Pool.

8 laps at #kitspool is 1000m, which means I have 1km of swimming under my belt today. Did you know most of the reason swimming burns so many calories is that your body is working hard to keep it's temperature up while in cold water? ? It's why Michael Phelps at like three boxes of cereal for breakfast every morning or something? ? Ha. It's also the reason I want to crush like six donuts right now. ?????? I also want to talk about everything you can see in this picture. The houses on the mountain back there make up West Vancouver. I'm not positive on all the mountains but am sure one must be Grouse. The huge section of trees closer in is Stanley Park. Behind that is the Lions Gate Bridge to North Van. The sailboats are bobbin around in English Bay. The lighter water behind the pool shows that the tide is out at Kitsilano Beach, and the sun is out at this open air pool, which is a rad place for families, teens, and lap swimmers alike. This is Vancouver. Layers upon layers of mountains, trees, oceans and public spaces. Pick your poison. A great place to call home. ? #vancouverisawesome #bestcoast #homesweethome
