With summer now here, Londoners won't have to wait any longer for more ways to cool off.

With the outdoor pools open, spaces are available for outdoor swimming lessons and aquatics programs through the city's online booking portal. Those opportunities range from aquafit classes to learn-to-swim programs and more, according to the city.

On top of regular outdoor pools, nine wading pools across the city will be opening on Saturday as well, with varying hours of operation that can be found on the City of London website.

City officials are also reminding residents that splash pads are open across London for the rest of the season. There are 18 of them in the city, all of which can be found on the city website. The Ivey Park splash pad won't be open until late July due to construction, city officials said.

According to the city, outdoor pools are set to remain open until late August.
