Summer is here, and the Lloydminster Outdoor Pool is officially open.

For many people, the outdoor pool is a big part of summer in Lloydminster. Long afternoons in the water, swimming lessons, and making memories with family and friends have made it a seasonal tradition for generations.

Who's ready for pool season?
