Outdoor 50m lap pool in Fitzroy with multiple lanes, hot outdoor showers, and change room facilities. Suits families with older children focused on lap swimming rather than recreational play. Street parking on surrounding one-way streets.

Pretty good, have definitely seen better but it’s just a 50m outdoor pool. If that’s what you’re looking for it’s definitely worth the trip. Pool is not super heated so if you stay in one spot you’ll go cold. Plenty of clean changing facilities, I really enjoyed the outdoor hot shower to rinse off after the swim. Pool is on the old side, but relatively clean. Bits of debri and strange shapes on the bottom of the pool so not 100% clean. Went around 2pm on a Monday and it wasn’t that busy, managed to get a lane to myself. Parking is very annoying; you need to find a free spot on one of the one way streets around the place.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children who want proper lap swimming in a community outdoor pool. The 50m format and multiple lanes make it a genuine training venue rather than a recreational splash facility. Pool water is not strongly heated β€” bring warm layers for children coming out of extended swims.

β€œHad a lovely swim here when visiting Melbourne. There are so many lanes that there was plenty of space and all staff were friendly and helpful. Have recommended to other travellers on the way as a great place for a swim!”

β€œIt is a community center equipped with gym and pool. I have only used the gym as the location is within a very short distance from my B&B. The gym is laid out in circular form with center being the staircase access. Place isn't big as weightlifting stations and cardio equipment are on the same floor. It is functional (for me at least) but it does get busy and you might need to wait. The price is ~24AUD for gym access only, I would rate that on the expensive side as it is comparable to how the commercial gyms charge and they have a lot of gym equipment. Overall, it serves its purpose for me.”

Overview

Fitzroy Swimming Pool centres on a full 50m outdoor lane pool with reliable lane availability and outdoor hot showers for post-swim warm-up. Change rooms are on the older side and functional. The venue also includes a gym, and a recent refurbishment drew criticism for removing equipment without replacement. No dedicated parking β€” street parking on surrounding one-way streets is the only option.
