The complex actually has two pools: a 25m indoor pool and a full 50m Olympic-sized outdoor pool, but they're never open at the same time, so check before you go[1]. The outdoor pool opened later than usual this year (June 20, 2026), but it's absolutely worth the wait.
Swimming in an Olympic-sized pool is a genuine treat, and this one doesn't disappoint. Entry is €5.80 (standard across all city pools). You buy your ticket outside, get it stamped at the main entrance, and head to the changing rooms. One quirk: you remove your shoes before entering the changing area, but unlike most Turin pools where you leave them at the door, here you take them with you. The changing rooms are open-plan with individual cubicles and plenty of lockers; just bring your own padlock. Heads up: the toilets are squat-style (alla turca).
I visited on a Tuesday around 2:30pm. The pool was lively with lots of kids splashing around, but the central lap lanes were relatively uncrowded. The "No Diving" signs were cheerfully ignored by the younger crowd jumping in from the sides, but they generally steered clear of the lap lanes. Worth noting: the pool is uniformly 1.3m deep with no shallow end, so it may not be ideal for very young children.
The deck is fairly minimal: a handful of plastic sunbeds, most of which were already taken when I arrived. That said, there are outdoor showers in addition to the ones inside, about 100 poolside lockers, a small bar serving coffee, drinks, and snacks, and access to a grassy lawn area if you'd rather spread your towel on something softer than concrete.
Overall, a great experience and easy to recommend, especially for anyone who loves lap swimming. I'll definitely be back.
