Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc - Olympic diving pool
Olympic diving swimming pool Montjuic. The Olympic diving pool was designed by Antoni de Moragas in 1992 for the diving events of the Barcelona 92 Olympic games.  It has a seating capacity of 4.100 spectators and the panoramic views of the city provide a unique backdrop for diving events. In the summer the pool is open for swimming only. The Olympic diving pool was designed as a competition pool, so it is not part of a sports centre and there are no fitness facilities. The changing rooms are 20 years old now and could use a renovation. The swimming area is open in July and August, but only the swimming pool. The diving pool and boards are closed to the public. Also note that there are no deckchairs for sunbathing, so bring a thick towel to lie on. There is a small pool-side kiosk, where you can buy refreshments.

We visited the diving pool three times recently and every time it was closed to the public as private lessons were going on. Sadly the entrance attendants were neither friendly or helpful.

Editors reply: Sorry to hear that. I think you just had bad luck - perhaps you were there when there was a diving competition earlier in the summer. We just checked with the pool today (7th August) and they told us that they were open daily from 11.00 to 18.30.
