Olympic swimming pool

[existential]

Hello, I am new in Dubai and love swimming. Do you know of any 50 meters (Olympic size) swimming pool open to the public (I am a woman) near the Marina or anywhere in Dubai?
Thank you very much for your help
Sincerely.

Hi and welcome to the forum,
Im afraid, I dont believe there is an Olympic size pool in Dubai. There are a few 25 m pools ( a lot of which you need to join clubs to use).
The closest 25m pool would be at the Lakes, though you would need to join the club.
There is also a pool at the Jebel Ali Village Club (again you need to join).

The only free pool I can think of is the one at Mushriff park (near Mirdiff) - it also has a womens only pool

No use right now, but I understand there will be an olympic pool in Sports City. Could be several years until that is complete though.

I am interested in 25m pools, where you can swim lengths...

Are there any that are easily accessible from Downtown Burj Dubai? These sound a bit far... If only as part of club, that might also be of interest

Thanks!

The Indian Ocean is pretty big, not sure if it's 50M big though .
