Those looking to beat the heat this summer should head to the outdoor pool at Oakleigh Recreation Centre.
Situated in Park Rd, the centre features a heated 50m pool, which has eight lanes and is ideal for lap swimming. It operates from November to March.
The centre also has a diving pool with seven springboards including 1m and 3m springboards, and 1m, 3m and 5m platforms.
When the diving platform is open, children have to do a test jump and swim to the side under lifeguard supervision just to see if they are worthy.
The outdoor pool is known to frequently retro-fit the diving tower with a giant inflatable slide, bringing an extra attraction to the space.
