Piscine Olympique Angelotti

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Notes

Swim caps are required. The pool is heavily used by clubs, for recreational swimming, and for laps. A lane schedule is posted in the lobby. The (usually two to four) lanes allocated for laps are not speed segregated and may be crowded during prime swimming times. Temperatures (air and water) are good for a workout. Men’s and women’s shower areas are side-by-side at the entry to the pool. Bring your own soap, shampoo, towel. There is a small pace clock that may be difficult for some to read.
The facility was formerly known as the Piscine Olympique d'Antigone.

Facility Reviews

The pool doesn't open until 9 AM and is always set to 50m.

There was no discipline in the four lap lanes open - people took the lane with the fewest swimmers. But even with five in a 50m lane, passing wasn't a problem.
This is a competition pool in abeautiful futuristic glass building. Hours during the week are 9 AM to 9:30 PM, shorter on the weekends.
This beautiful, state-of-the-art, partly open-air swimming complex is worth the trip to Montpellier alone. It's about as perfect as a pool gets.
This was everything I want from a pool. I went twice in the early afternoon; and all lanes were open to the public; I had one to myself about half the time I was there. Three lanes were reserved for swimmers with paddles/fins, though that wasn’t enforced. Like every pool in France, this one insists on tight-fitting swimwear and caps, but that shouldn’t be an issue for the audience of this site.

The place deserves better showers though. There are too few for a facility of this size, they’re in plain sight of whoever may be walking by and there’s a CCTV camera pointed at the men’s showers. Unsurprisingly, everyone showered with their swimsuits on, if at all.
