The staff is nice and welcoming. It is difficult to get there during the scant schedule that the pool is opened to the public.

I swam in the indoor pool last week and it was a pleasant 27ºC (81ºF). I had a lane to myself and really enjoyed it. My other half went in the Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room and was happy. I didn’t have the guts to attempt the outdoor 50m pool as it was unheated and completely empty. After the swim we went to the cafe. Amazing experience! I want to go back!

Wonderful, as always. €11, which seems to be the going rate in Barcelona. The main, outdoor, Olympic pool was set out with about five lanes down the centre for lane swimming, and some roped off areas to the side. There were no backstroke flags. I first swam here in 1999 and it wasn't heated, but this time it was fine. It wasn't busy at all. The facilities are all good but bring a padlock for your locker or leave your bag poolside. There is a cafe upstairs overlooking the pool, but it was shut when we were there. The indoor pool is also available although I didn't swim in this time.

The outdoor pool has a view of the Olympic torch, very cool during backstroke!

The indoor pool is in very good shape with wider than average lanes.

I found the people very friendly and the lanes, indeed wide. The locker rooms and showers are in good shape. Sauna and steam bath available as well. The water in the indoor pool is a bit warm, but one gets used to it.

My cab driver insisted it was closed in winter, but I pressed on and was rewarded.
