"The “Magic Mountain”, as it’s often called, shows off plenty of skin in the warmer months as swimmers and sunbathers flock to the waters of its municipal pool. Built in 1929, refurbished for the 1955 Mediterranean Games and expanded for the 1992 Olympics, it attracts professional swimmers, divers and a parade of lithe bodies hoping to work on their tans. The music video for Kylie Minogue’s 2003 synth-pop hit “Slow” was filmed poolside, with the opening shot featuring a toned diver somersaulting into the still waters. It’s a popular spot so we can’t guarantee perfect calm – nor Kylie, for that matter."
The fee is 7,55€ per person , 2,15 € is for sun bed . I arrived at 11:20 am and it was not busy . Washroom is not the best but it’s really relaxing and I loved swimming in the Olympic pools ! Views breathtaking.

Beautiful view, clean water. We arrived 16.30 on a 33°+ Saturday so struggled to find a sun lounger. Emptied out from around 18.00. Toilets were not nice. Changing room basic. But views beautiful and pool so cooling in the heat

Had a really amazing day here with my friend, beautiful pool with wicked views of the city. Very clean and easy to access. There is many sun lounges in the shade or out. However I will say do not pay the extra fee on entry for a sun lounger with a cover appose to the plastic ones because they all have covers! There is a couple bars providing many snacks and pizza. Not the cheapest so bring your own water. All in all would HIGHLY recommend.

Really cool historic place with a huge pool, Barcelona 92 Olympics were held here so it has the historic feeling.
Pool is very deep and I believe is salted water, great for quick dives. It cost €9 per person (as Aug 2022). Bring your own everything, no way to purchase towels or any pool necessities, they'll ask you if you want to rent a long chair.
Lockers are downstairs.
Not sure if there's an elevator (I didn't see any signs) not wheelchair accessible as far as I could see.

We did not use the facilities of the piscine. We went late in the afternoon to watch the view and enjoy a drink. The place and the view were excellent, it had live music on the day and the finger food was good especially the patata bravas

Worst workers I ever saw, came at 5.55 at apparently the ticket office close at 6, but guess what was already closed, no chance to get inside even tho I came from the other side of Barcelona just to jump in the water and sleep half an hour.
But no he didn’t moved and didn’t let me get inside even tho I was ready to pay for less then 1 hour.
Municipal workers at its finest.
Never again

I love this pool (I live very close by) but there are so many improvements that could be made! I love how you can now rent a sun bed at a reasonable price (no more than 2 euros). However there is no bar in close proximity to the pool so if you want a soft drink (or a beer) you have to go up a LOT of steps go to the Salts bar which always has huge queues (it’s an great bar but it’s not worth the queue).
We would have liked an ice cream around the pool, the ice cream machine was empty. They could really profit on selling ice creams and drinks by the pool.
There is a lot of children by the pool, some teenagers smoking weed and topless girls in the pool - so it’s a weird crowd in some ways.
Love the pool just needs some improvements!

I went swimming here with my girlfriend because our hotel didn't have a pool. Paid €6,5 each. Took the metro and the little train op to the mountain. We arrived around 11 when it opened, so there were only a few people. You can rent a sunbed for only €1 for the entire day, but be quick there are only a few sunbeds. If you leave the pool you can ask for a receipt and come back later that day. Lifeguards are very friendly and helpful. The view over Barcelona is amazing and it's a nice experience to swim in a pool where the Olympic Games where once held in 1992. Too bad the diving pool next to the Olympic pool isn't open for the public.
