barcelona_olympic_diving_pools





The Barcelona diving and swimming pool has one of best swimming pool views in the world. It was used by Kylie Minogue as the location for her music video "Slow" in 2003. The outdoor Olympic swimming pool was designed by Antoni de Moragas and built in 1992 for the diving events of the Barcelona Olympics.

It is only open to the public in July and August, but the diving section is closed to the public, so you can only swim in the pool next to the diving pool. The Olympic diving and swimming pool has a seating capacity of 4.100 spectators and the panoramic views of the city provide a unique backdrop for diving events.

The pool was designed as a competition pool only and does not have a fitness centre or other facilities. There are no sun-beds or deck chairs for sunbathing so bring a thick towel to lie on.  There is a small cafe with chairs and tables that serves refreshments.
