In terms of outdoor public swimming pools, this one is a winner. It i located right on the beach at Woodbine and Lakeshore. Has an olympic size pool for laps (and because it's deep kids need to pass a swim test to be allowed in), a shallower pool where all the kiddies hang out, and a really cool diving pool with olympic diving boards.
Here's what you should know if you come down here:
1) Best place to catch some sun is on the little deck next to the pool where you can do laps - it's a bit quieter because it's further from the kids.
2) The showers are pretty gross. Because I live close I just wear my bathing suit there and home.
3) It's free!
4) They obviously have a limited capacity. It's actually not too crazy at full capacity - the hard part is getting in. It opens at 10 so I'd suggest getting there closer to 10. By the time I left at 2ish there was a huge line waiting to get in.
5) Bring or wear rubber flip flops, the floors are gross in the change room and you do not want to be walking around barefoot!
6) They don't have concessions so pack what you might want to eat. I'm not sure you'd be allowed back in if you stepped out.
7) The lockers there take quarters.
Have fun!! -

Love this pool.
Kids have a separate pool which is great and there are lots of flutter-boards for pool shinanigans.
For a thrill, take a jump from the 5-meter on the dive tower. You can see all the way down to the beach.
