Thermarium by Daniel Rabin and Annie Ritz

It's a great project, have a look! This project is going to be in the -arium book (on the bottom of this post).
"The Thermarium envisions a new beach typology for the Toronto Waterfront. Responding to the lack of swimming at Toronto’s new urban beaches and consistent CSO (combined sewage overflow) closures at surrounding swim areas, the Thermarium offers new possibilities for water immersion and activity that are enabled, rather than prohibited, by the polluted run-off instigated by heavy rainstorms."
