MORNING LIST
Since the first confinement, and except for a summer respite, it is complicated for swimming enthusiasts to practice crawl, breaststroke, backstroke, or even butterfly for the more informed. In order to take advantage of the benefits of this sporting practice in spite of the contrary elements, “La Matinale” offers you several options, while waiting for May 19 and the expected reopening of the indoor swimming pools following the announcements of Emmanuel Macron, Thursday April 29, about of the deconfinement schedule.
Find open outdoor pools
If among you are high level athletes, firefighters, or you have a medical prescription “ Adapted physical activity ”(APA), you can still take advantage of the indoor swimming pools, accessible to people classified as priority *. If you are not concerned, you must find a swimming pool classified outdoor (PA), less than 30 km from your home, a geographic restriction that will be lifted from Monday, May 3 by the government. And if you find your happiness, no question of tanning on the edge of the pool, you will have to practice active swimming.
In Paris, no need to look for: “Only the outer basin of the Butte-aux-Cailles, in the 13the district, could be exploitable, but it is under construction, explains the communication service of the Town Hall. The City is awaiting a response from the State services regarding the covered equipment that may be discovered to occasionally become PA classified, such as the Le Gall swimming pool in the XII.e. “ Such a reclassification can in fact only be decided by the Prefecture.
Until April 11, Parisians could refer to the swimming pool on the island of Puteaux, the closest to the capital of the PA type. Due to a technical drain, it will reopen on May 5. Note, not too far away, the options Poissy (Migneaux swimming pool) or Saint-Germain-en-Laye (intercommunal swimming pool). We can also mention, on a national scale, the Echirolles basin, the aquatic stadiums of Vichy, Clermont-Ferrand and Antibes, or the Aquabaule (La Baule), Fernand Anelli (Nice) and the Grand Bleu (Cannes) swimming pools. Check that these places are open when you feel like crawling or brewing. The list is not at all exhaustive: it’s up to you to carry out the investigation near you!
And no question of putting on your swimsuit on a whim: you will have to reserve a time slot, the maximum number of swimmers being still for the moment severely planed. For example, at the swimming pool in Val-de-Reuil, in Normandy, the six water lines cannot accommodate more than 40 people at the same time, for one hour of practice each, against 200 in normal periods.
