The newest swimming spots with amazing views of Parliament Hill in Ottawa are such a hit! 🌊☀️

Have you seen them? 👀

They’re so popular that people are even going for a swim during their lunch break. 🏊

Last weekend, just days after the official opening, the Canadian Museum of History dock welcomed 300 visitors! 🙌

Kudos to the National Capital Commission for creating more public spaces for people to enjoy in Ottawa. 👏

Things to know:

⚠️ No lifeguards on duty. Swim at your own risk.
🌊 The water is deep.
🐶 No dogs are permitted on the docks.
