WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
Brown's Social House / The Falls has a pool all around the building. It's not heated, and quite shallow at most points, hard to swim laps. It's not very easy to swim in, but floating on your back is possible. Ditto for Parkside lobby and Bay Centre.
Private swimming pools - where are they?

350/360 Douglas has a pretty nice pool. I used to live there, but I swear I only used it a couple times.
As I noted above: when did you live at Goodacre VHF? I was there from 2000-2 and again from 2004-7, south tower both times. Same here I only used it maybe 3-4 times...

South tower, top floor. Back around 1990.

A friend of mine was living there in the early 1990s. Now we just need to find somebody to fill in the late 1990s slot and we'll have a complete timeline.

With a trampoline as well. Must be an old folks daycare center.

There's a perfectly good ocean, you can handle the temperature for 20 minutes* at a time. It's revitalizing.

Stadacona Center has a pool. Not sure if it's still in use.

The pool was still in use in 2015 when a friend of mine looked at a listing. It's in the Stadacona Avenue side of the complex. Lack of in-suite laundry outweighed the gardens, pool, fitness room.

I think there are fewer pools than Google Maps indicates. Some of those are blue tarps over leaky roofs. One holds water and one keeps water out.

I believe Regent's Park at View and Vancouver has a pool/sauna/steamroom.
Now that we have a good list of pools, who wants to go Burt Lancaster?

Pretty sure there's no pool, just a hot tub.

I lived in Orchard House on Michigan. They have a lovely pool. The water was really warm in the summer.
