Lord Byng Pool & Fitness Centre

Expérience positive: Sauna is nice and hot, facilities are rather dirty though and it is difficult to get an opportunity to use the shower.

Expérience fantastique: Had a private birthday party it was amazing!

Expérience négative: no parking 7am to 4pm dont go here even the streets are full of cars weekdays or weekends is like a zoo. dont bother going.

Expérience fantastique: On the page it says that from 10 am a lane is available for the public and they do not allow an adult to swim accompanied by a 7-year-old girl who has been swimming since she was 2 years old. It was only exercise swimming for 1 hour or less. They have very basic prejudices about exercise and children. Comment from 7 days later: We returned during public hours and the entire crew was excellent with us. Even the lady at the reception from the last time. We are very grateful for their attention to me and my daughter, who I believe with occasions like today, will always have this pool and moments saved forever in her perfectly happy side of her childhood and personal development.

Expérience négative: woman on the phone is extremely rude and short...disgusting customer service, think she needs to find a new job.. gross

Expérience positive: It's a calm environment with a nice pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna. The gym is small but equipped with the essentials.

Expérience négative: My 9 year old son was in tears. Fathers cannot teach their sons how to swim at this pool without the lifeguard staff feeling the need to oh so desperately explain the city of Vancouvers policy of not allowing swimming lessons to be taught in a public pool in a Karen-esque passive aggressive manner. 'I desperately feel the need to explain our policy to you which is why other lifeguards may have a problem with you but not me' is truly without any strength of character. The Supervisor and their ability to train their staff to determine the obvious before their staff embark on harassing families is essentially to blame. If you've met the lad that I did, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Expérience fantastique: I love Lord Byng for the sauna and cold shower + work out pool. The gym is really small at this location but the awesome people & cool lifeguards make up for it by far.

Expérience positive: Not intended for recreational play. Mostly lessons and adults doing their laps.

Expérience fantastique: We swim with PSA here. Great pool in the morning.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome people!

Expérience négative: One star for the impatient lady work at front desk who answer the phone incredible rude even cannot wait for me to finish my word.

Expérience fantastique: A great pool, little tiny gym, and top tier sauna and hot tub!

Expérience fantastique: Jakuzi,sauna ve fitness salonu da mevcut.

Expérience positive: My go to swim place. I’m not a fan of anywhere else. Megan and Brandon are excellent Aquafit instructors on Monday and Wednesday nights.

Expérience positive: This place use to be great, in the last year I’ve noticed the front desk staff have become extremely rude and they now they’re allowing large groups of kids in the hot tub with the swimming instructors good luck relaxing, only reason it scores of three is because it’s super clean and the Lifeguards seem nice

Expérience fantastique: Great little gym with everything you need. Hot + Clean sauna with a hot/cold shower right beside it. Not crowded at all, will have to try the pool one of these visits.

Expérience fantastique: Great pool, sauna & hot tub. Also has a gym.

Expérience positive: The best hot pool, but the building is quite old.

Expérience positive: Parking is a nightmare, and the water is COLD. My kid is often shivering by the end of a 25 minute swim lesson. The hot tub / "warm pool" is a necessity after a swim.

Expérience positive: Everything was good except the edges. The edges were a bit too tall for little kids to climb up on

Expérience fantastique: Lovely community centre with great facilities

Expérience fantastique: Great pool. Not too busy and staff are D friendly.

Expérience positive: Brilliant little local facility. Pleasant staff, great classes and very family friendly environment. The only downfall is the only bench in the gym is quite dangerous to use with a large gap in the middle of it. Definitely would suggest ditching this bench for a safer model.

Expérience fantastique: I recently signed up my son for baby swim. Our instructor Stephan W. was amazing! By far the best instructor from all the other pools in the city! Hoping to have him again for our next lessons. The pool was also great and not over crowded. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Very nice pool and sauna

Expérience fantastique: Friendly staff and hot sauna.

Expérience fantastique: Good

Expérience fantastique: It's my favorite swimming pool in Vancouver, it's the least busy too.

Expérience fantastique: Small community pool. Perfect for me to go, swim some laps and relax in the hot tub.

Expérience fantastique: This is a great spot for swimming and relaxation, with a range of amenities including a gym, sauna, and hot tub. The staff are helpful and it's a kid-friendly environment, with wheelchair accessibility. Public transportation stops nearby and you can use your one card/leisure access card.

Expérience négative: Very cold swimming environment, my kid get sick after her first experience. Will not go again.

Expérience positive: The swimming pool is very cozy .The staff are so polite .But the receptionist woman is very rude .She is very racist.

Expérience fantastique: Great hot tub and pool

Expérience fantastique: Great place for swimming, staff are very nice and helpful, always available to answer questions and give great advices. Instructor Sophia manage very well the knowledge and explanations of swimming correctly.

Expérience fantastique: I went during a visit with my design team to do pool testing. The staff were very nice and always willing to help.

Expérience fantastique: I really liked swimming there, I have been swimming there alot, I really enjoy swimming with my friend. It is really fun and I would go back there any day.

Expérience négative: Had a very poor experience here. The staff member at the reception was super rude for no reason, and I observed her serving the couple in front of us in the same manner. If you want to swim laps, don’t bother coming here. Three lanes open with people doing breastroke in the fast lane. No cubicle showers so there is no privacy if you want to shower after using the small gym. Won’t be back if I can help it.

Expérience négative: Please wash the changeroom floors.

Expérience négative: This place is definitely showing its age. It’s dirty, old, cramped and lacking modern amenities. For the well-to-do part of town you would expect they would be planning a future replacement for such an aging facility.

Expérience fantastique: Love this little pool been coming to it since the 90s as a kid. Its got tiny water slide and diving broad and rope swing. It has a tiny gym and sauna and hot tub. And washrooms & change rooms ,lockers ,showers. Vending machines, parking, places to chill , its located next to a kids play park . It has public transportation the #33 & #25 busses stop here . Staff are great .its kid friendly, wheelchair accessible . Its a very chilled environment unlike the hectic Hillcrest type . You can use your one card /leisure access card here Besides credit cards or cash .

Expérience fantastique: GEORGE IS THE ***BEST*** SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR IN THE WORLD!!! Thank you George!! Front desk is friendly and helpful too. ❤️

Expérience fantastique: Small swimming pool, not busy at all

Expérience positive: Good place, not many options though. Still happy that my child got into swimming lessons there. If you’re going to watch your child swimming there, don’t forget to take along some inside sleepers.

Expérience fantastique: it is an amazing place

Expérience fantastique: Great pool older place but, small weigh room, but very comfortable.

Expérience fantastique: Their swim instructors are great with kids, and they provide feedback to the child on every lap/exercise, even in group lessons

Expérience fantastique: Lord Byng has an excellent learn to swim program with Fun swim instructors and great upbeat energy. My kids went to school next door so it is great access for swim lessons after school and my husband loves to swim lengths in calm, uncrowded lanes with personable lifeguards to chat with. Yes the facility is older but UBC at $8 hour for parking and Hillcrest's overcrowded lanes make Lord Byng Pool a wonderful oasis. I find this pool cleaner than Kerrisdale pool as well. Kitsilano pool is the BEST pool in the summer but Byng the rest of the year is a great neighbourhood pool.

Expérience négative: I have been going to this pool for decades. It is currently old and has so many maintenance problems, not to mention the high operating cost and the high levels of Chlorine in the water. The staff are the same two guys form the last 25 years. I am sure both are in their 50s so there is no incentive to do any new thing. I believe it is time to shut down this pool and build a new bigger and exciting facility. The community urgently needs it. ****** Today at May 30th, 2022, Lord Byng Pool is shut down again for air Ventilation issues (no air ventilations at all). This has been the case for the last 8 days and that is why all the doors of the pool were wide opened, however the life guard decided to shut down down today at 2:30 pm right after I got in the water. again do not waste your time and money, please go to any other swimming facility. Lord Byng pool is not worth it. For the Vancouver Park Board, I believe that time has come to to shut down that pool permanently.

Expérience fantastique: Small but nice and clean pool tucked away in the neighborhood. Great place for kids swim lessons!

Expérience fantastique: Pool

Expérience fantastique: Excellent facilities.

Expérience fantastique: Lord Byng Pool is a great pool to get lessons at for your kids. The water is cold by my standards but you definitely get use to the temperature after awhile. Though it can sometimes be busy there are times where that is not an issue at all.

Expérience fantastique: Love the quite environment! The staffs are super friendly and patient, fav pool in Vancouver. Thanks to the staff who helped me out with my card and registration (Les, I think). Definitely worth checking out

Expérience fantastique: The friendly staff at Lord Byng are always helpful. In a city as big as Vancouver, this little pool and fitness centre makes you feel like you're in a small town.

Expérience positive: Pas mal. Mais on trouve que les couloirs de natation sont décevant. Autrement dit, la couloir rapide est censé être réservé aux nageurs expérimenté, au contraire y des amateurs se sont répandus partout, ce qui est vraiment désagréable.

Expérience fantastique: excellent staff (and great sauna before coronavirus)

Expérience fantastique: Greet place.

Expérience fantastique: Great quiet place to go for a swim!

Expérience fantastique: Relaxing place

Expérience fantastique: Utilitarian pool that does the job. Boring for kids, but if you just want to swim laps and then relax in the hot tub or sauna, it's one of the best pools in the city.

Expérience positive: Great for lessons directed at the 6 to 12 age group, but when it comes to swimming there aren't many places to swim and it could be recommended to go to another pool

Expérience positive: Good place

Expérience positive: They just need to clean more often the shower areas

Expérience fantastique: Our kids swim here for their swim club lessons during the summer and a bit in September. Kids like this pool. The showers are nice and hot.

Expérience fantastique: Great little pool.....good for the local community...hope they don't tear it down

Expérience fantastique: My favorite pool to go to with my daughter! I love this place because it's small and simple and always relaxing. I park my car and take about 20 steps and then I'm in the pool. When we're in the pool we can actually enjoy swimming because there's never tons of screaming kids. The staff are all incredibly warm and friendly and always there when you need them.

Expérience fantastique: Great location to swim and relax. They also have kayaking sessions on some nights, which I haven't seen anywhere else.
