There are a bunch of lounge chairs available on a first-come basis. Lots of kids & families, a separate kiddie pool, ok locker room. Nice. 5.75$ for non-residents.

Nice big pool, very clean and there is always a deck chair and some shade to be had under umbrellas…read moreand big, leafy trees. The change rooms are kind of dark though and the showers are right there out in the open which is a tad odd. Adult swims at noon are perfect for laps and there is plenty of room for lots of people at what I think is a fairly steep price though: $5.75. I like the pool itself a lot, but would pick the free Laurier pool over this pool more often than not. My biggest complaint besides the price though? The life guards were annoying and confusing absolutely everyone by blowing their whistles every couple of minutes. People would stop, look around, wonder what we were doing wrong only to realise that it was the teenage girl lifeguards whistling at friends to bring them something or to get their attention...don't do that!

I have not been to the Azur aquaplex since their renovations in 2015-2016. So I am not able to…read morecompare. The good: Nice complex, very modern. Different kind of pools for different activities. Lots of different types of classes available. Sauna areas included. Great class trainers. Bleachers area for people who can come to watch. Place is clean. Front lockers specifically for valuables. The bad: Pool water can be colder than we think it might be. Class trainers are overworking (barely have a break between classes). If one pool has an issue, reorganizing space between other pools is an hassle. Lots of stupid parents not watching their kids. Changing rooms can be crowded by families. Changing rooms can be slippery. Aside from people being around and in your way (see the bad section), the place itself is a very nice one.

We visited the Montreal Olympic Swimming Pool and Olympic Parc on a full day tour of Montreal…read more It was super cool to see and hear about the construction of the facility and the pool for the 1976 Olympics. It's inside the giant, leaning, Montreal Tower, which in itself is really neat to see. In the Olympic Pool area, there is also a small museum too that covers the 1976 Olympic Games. On our tour, the guide explained to our group how the pool (and other smaller pools) were built for the swimming, diving, and other water sports. The pool is still used for recreational swimming by the citizens of Montreal, which I appreciate that they found a new use for it vs. tearing everything down and building over the site.

Coming here was the highlight of our trip to Montreal and if you like to swim I would definitely…read moreput this on your itinerary. Why? In 1976 the Summer Olympics were held in Montreal and this facility which is still in the same state as in 1976 with the Olympic rings outside the door was built for the swim competition. Now you have the opportunity to swim in the same pool as the Olympic Athletes. Canadians can buy monthly memberships but Americans can swim here for a daily fee of less than $8.00 CAD with a passport and proof of double vaccination. They even have the viewing stands so bring some friends and family with you to cheer you on like in the Olympics. The pool is super clean--the cleanest I have ever seen. And so are the locker rooms and showers. I had googles on and dove to the bottom a few times and it was cleaner than any pool that I have been in. You are required to keep a face covering on all times walking around except in the pool. ( I got reprimanded initially by the lifeguard for walking near the pool without one.) There are lanes for laps, a kiddie area, and free swim area. There are 2 lifeguards on duty on both sides of the pool. They even have a machine in the locker room to dry your swim suit--worked great! There are open lockers but you will need to bring a lock--we just used our small suitcase locks--it seems relatively safe when we were here. They have benches next to the pool for your towel and things. We took a Uber here from the hotel but if you are driving, park in P5 lot. Give yourself a few hours to come here because if you are not familar its a maze of Olympic buildings and once inside another maze figuring out how to get from the locker room to the pool without walking though another gender's locker room. I had to consult with other swimmers and such nice people in Montreal--they gave me an escort. Just a tremendous experience and we are thankful to the Montreal people for allowing us to "jump in."

Needed to get some lap swimming while on vacation and this place more than fit the bill. $3 for a…read moreswim session, 6 25 meter lanes and each lane is labeled to your speed. Appears they have multiple sessions each day you can walk in and swim. A year membership only costs $15 - I asked three times because that sounded insanely cheap but she verified. If I lived local this would be my swim spot.

Located in the hustling and bustling St-Laurent St. in front on Moishe's restaurant. The outside of…read morethe building says "BATH". Oh yeah, it's free for everyone. The interior screams for updating, but you get what you pay for.... the locker room is usually clean-ish, and the lanes in the pool are wide. During a "free for all" slot in the schedule there are no lanes, and they have a rope across the width of the pool, making it less convenient to swim. I have been coming here regularly for more than a year, but last winter I had the misfortune of having my locker broken into. I lost some valuables then - and so I recommend leaving your phone and wallet at home before coming here. Anyone can walk off from the street and enter, and they don't have cameras. A lock is no guarantee for safety. When it happen, the staff was quite helpful, and they let me use their phone to call and cancel my credit cards etc. I kept coming here afterwards, and it's all good since. Check the website for the updated opening schedule, as it changes seasonally.
