Kitsilano and Second Beach outdoor pools are all located adjacent to the ocean and New Brighton is not far away, and in fact the ocean is visible from the pool. All pools are clean, beautiful to swim in and really show off Vancouver's mountain to ocean scenery. I have swam at Second Beach pool in Stanley park since I was a child and when it was only full when the tide was high because it was a true salt water pool - it also had free entry then! There is a concession stand with chips etc across from the entrance. You can't beat it!

I have also swam at New Brighton Pool where the water is chlorinated but the lifeguards play jazz music from their stereo while you swim. Very relaxing atmosphere!

The beautiful Second Beach pool, like the Kitsilano Pool, is right on the beach. It is also in Stanley Park in a beautiful setting. This is a very kid friendly pool designed for maximum fun. If you're an early riser, Second Beach Pool is a wonderful early morning destination, even when it's closed because it's a serene sight in a serene location.

New Brighton Pool is located on North Windermere Street near 'Playland' and the Second Narrows Bridge.
