Summer in the City: Swimming Pools

The summer heat in Buenos Aires can become unbearable during the months of January, February and even March. Public or privatly owned swimming pools open to the public in the city can be a great option for addressing the high temperatures and achieve good moments of rest in the sun or from the heat.

The alternatives vary in features and price… There are multisport city government recreation areas, private complex and luxury hotels.

Well, here is a list of various venues to drop by to cool down the summer heat…
