The swimming pool is as big as the ocean. This place is very suitable for swimming. If you're like me, you can practice 75 meters. There's a line at the bottom of the pool to follow you. Ask the lifeguard if it's metric or foot!!! Obviously the water in this pool is from the ocean, but it's not unlike other pools where I swim, it's salty. Access to urban areas is very convenient, from UBC to anthropological museums, or to Wreck Beach. There's a good restaurant and bar, across the street, and after you swim, sit aside or outside. The waiter is very friendly.
