It’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which means all that we can think about is how we wish it were cool again. (What’s up with always wanting what we can’t have?!)
If the stifling heat, sweaty palms, and powerful UV rays are already getting to you, we’re here to help. Even if you can’t find a body of water near you — other than your shower — these images of cool pools around the world will hopefully offer some sense of relief. Grab a margarita or daiquiri and take a dip in some of these sweet spots…
