Pick this one for laps under a roof in any weather: the pool is heated, indoor and on the rooftop, with panoramic Toronto skyline views. Access is the weak point, since the hotel leaves who can swim unstated.
The pool
This heated indoor pool sits on the rooftop of the hotel at 220 Bloor St W in Old Toronto. It has panoramic skyline views and suits lap swimming. The floor and the hours aren't published, and neither is the access policy.
Our take
BISHA also heats its pool and publishes its 44th floor, but it is guests only and the pool isn't described as indoor. Sheraton Centre Toronto is the list's day pass option. Here the roof is enclosed and heated, so a cold-weather swim is plausible, since January highs in Toronto average -0.3°C.
Access is the downside. Whether non-guests can swim is unstated, and there is no day pass price. Plan on staying here if the pool is the reason you're coming. Plush towels, slippers and robes are available on request.

Tips

Before you go. Ask if outside visitors can use the pool and what the hours are. Neither is published.
