Jimmy Thompson Memorial Pool

This was the coolest place to swim ever. It hadn't been updated in a long while, but that was it's charm. It was well maintained so though it looked its age, it was very appealing. Very sad that they're renovating it as it was perfect in my eyes, I hope they keep the layout and character, but one can only hope. Best. Pool. Ever.

I have never been to this pool but would like to someday. the city of Hamilton made the right choice keeping this old pool and giving the choice between the old and the new if given the choice I would choose the old pool I personally don't like wave pools or lazy rivers I just like a good old fashioned pool that gives you the feeling of swimming in a enclosed room there are not much of these pools left and the city of North Battleford demolished my favourite pool that was built in 1966 I do not like my city's new pool given the choice I would pick the old one
I will give this one five stars

I swam at this pool back in the days of the Hamilton Aquatic Club. It looked quite different in those days, and we would also enjoy the free swims when the old diving board used to be there. Despite this pool's age, it has been kept up very well, I still love swimming here today.

The pool is great and cheap if you buy a 10-visit clip card or a monthly membership. I recommend the clip card because it does not expire. If you travel, get sick, or cannot go swimming for any other reason, you won't lose $. The most annoying part is dealing with the reception lady who insists on checking a vaccination receipt and the driver's license each time, although she knows the regulars by name. When I suggested that she added our vaccination status to our accounts, as many other places did, she told me to stop talking to her lol.
I go only for the length swims, which should be booked in advance. It is good as it limits the number of people to two per lane maxim.
