In the heart of Hochelaga, Piscine Pierre-Lorange keeps things straightforward: clean water, good hours, and free admission. The slide and diving boards are currently out of service, but that hasn’t stopped this local favourite from pulling a steady mix of families, solo swimmers, and lap-lovers. The schedule is generous, with lane swim slots carved into most days and extended adult swim hours in the evenings—some sessions even get six full lanes. It’s not flashy, but it works: no entrance fees, minimal rules, and just enough structure to keep things running smoothly. Locker rooms are basic, but the water’s warm, and the vibe stays friendly without tipping into chaos. If you’re looking for a reliable swim without the circus, Pierre-Lorange holds it down quietly on Davidson Street. Just check the schedule before you show up—this one runs on rhythm.
