Cool off at Shanghai’s Olympic Swimming Pool

It’s hot in Shanghai and those pictures of horrendously crowded swimming pools in the city make you wonder where exactly old Shanghailanders went for a swim to cool off?

Perhaps the Olympic Swimming Pool? It was on Route Cardinal Mercier (Maoming Road South now), which also had a pool up at the Cercle Sportif too. Nice to be able to swim till midnight and nice that water was changed every other day too!!
