Sea Point Pavillion Swimming Pool
At Sea Point Pavilion Swimming Pool, the pools mainly use filtered seawater. There is a 50m main pool and a children’s pool. There is also a diving pool. Lifeguards are on duty.
This huge outdoor pool complex, with its lovely art deco touches, is a Sea Point institution. It gets very busy on hot summer days – not surprisingly, since the four pools are always at least 10°C warmer than the very cold ocean.
In 1895, swimming baths were opened in the area, these had separate bathing hours for women and men, and were for white people only.  The baths were located at the bottom of Church Road. However, the baths were destroyed by a storm in 1911. They were operated by a centrifugal gas-powered pump to fill the pools with water during low tide. Season tickets could be purchased, or an entrance fee of sixpence was charged.
The Pavilion was built between 1913 and 1914. It was designed by Frederick (Fred) Cherry and built by Murray and Stewart. The facility featured an open-air cinema, a tea room, and a stageand was a popular recreational venue for the community. The Pavilion has undergone several changes. The original structure was eventually demolished and replaced around 1950
