Where to Take Kids Swimming Around Edmonton in Spring 2021
It's been a long, long time since our kids have been in a swimming pool - months, since nearly last summer. On a recent staycation, we've discovered just how much we've missed swimming, and since that point, we've been working our way through many of the local hotels that offer access to guests to physically-distanced pool time.
Here's where to take kids swimming indoors in Edmonton during Spring 2021
