Facility Reviews
Great facility! When I was there, it was set up with 50m lanes. The temperature is a little warm for serious swimming, but you make do. There are a couple of lanes dedicated to people swimming with aides - paddles, pull-buoys, etc. There was also a basket of kickboards and pull-buoys available.
It is the usual French set up: No board shorts, swim cap required, no street shoes are allowed in the changing rooms and beyond (so bring some shower shoes), and the changing rooms are individual cubicles - but lockers, toilets and showers are all unisex. Your entrance card operates the lockers, so no lock or money is needed to operate them.
There are good mirrors and electric outlets as you exit the changing rooms when you leave.

When I was there in summer, the pool was set up with five 50-meter lanes for lap swimming, the other part of the pool being made available for recreation. The absence of speed separation made it sometimes difficult to train seriously, but the lanes were not too crowded. As mentioned by another reviewer, the temperature was a little warm for serious swimming. There were no kickboards and pull-buoys available, probably due to COVID-related regulations.
