Piscine Olympique Dijon Métropole

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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 Reviews

This is a true class act. Must wear swim cap. BE SURE to get a token for the locker when paying admission. Having this "token" request written in French BEFORE you arrive may prove helpful. The slightly confusing locker room configuration becomes clear once you realize that first you change in a "changing room" (be sure to find the separate locking mechanism at knee level, as this is dual gender room) then exit the opposite side to find lockers. You need a token to lock the locker. Bring your own soap, shampoo, and towel. The 50 meter middle lanes had about 5 or 6 swimmers each at 6 PM... no problem.
[May, 2013]
This is a beautiful, clean, well-maintained facility with several basins: A child's play pool; a warmup pool (which is several lanes wide and striped but appears to be less than 25y and which seems to also be a family play pool/water exercise area); and a 10-lane 50-meter pool that was curiously divided into six 50-meter lanes and a two, four lane-wide 25-meter areas. It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday morning but there were no speed designations for lanes. Pull buoys and kickboards can be borrowed on deck. The water was a touch warm at 30ºC.

Instead of a token, a €1 or €2 coin also works for the lockers (it is returned after use). As in almost all French pools: there are mixed gender individual changing cabins; there is no nudity in the locker/showers; and swim caps are required (caps are for sale on site).

The pool is not in central Dijon, but is reachable by car or tramway.
