Put refreshing spring dips at the pool on your agenda this weekend as temperatures are expected to hit almost 30 degrees.
It was a warm sunny Friday and ANU student Eve O'Brien took advantage, taking her friends from Melbourne for a swim at the Kambah Pool.
"Three of my friends came from Melbourne to visit me and the weather was so warm so I took them for a swim in Kambah," Ms O'Brien said.
"I'm not working today and today was so warm we had to go for a dip."
The Melburnians were happy to see some consistent weather after escaping a rainy Victoria.
With more sunny spring days on the way, the ACT government has confirmed Canberra's seasonal pools, including the outdoor pools at Canberra Olympic Pool, Dickson Pool and Manuka Pool will open on Saturday, October 28.
Gungahlin Leisure Centre, Stromlo Leisure Centre, Lakeside Leisure Centre, Active Leisure Centre and the indoor pool at Canberra Olympic Pool are open all year round.
Pool operators are busy raking leaves, cleaning and refilling the pools before Canberrans rush to the pool openings.
An ACT government spokesperson said they were looking forward to a busy summer swim season across the territory.
"Public pools across our city provide highly valued sporting and recreational amenities to thousands in our community, from our youngest Canberrans to our most senior," the spokesperson said.
The government is also set to announce new managers for the Dickson, Civic, Gungahlin, Stromlo and Tuggeranong public pools, five months after a tender to manage them closed.
