Summer opening hours and heatwave periods
From 1 July to 31 August, as well as during periods of extreme heat, the Louis Namèche swimming pool operates according to specific time slots:
- 08:00 – 11:00
- 11:30 – 13:00
- 13:30 – 15:00
- 15:30 – 17:00
- 17:30 – 19:00
The maximum access time is 1 hour 30 minutes (90 minutes). This includes access to the changing rooms, swimming time and the time needed to leave the facilities.
Please note: access is organised by time slot. All swimmers must leave the pool at the end of the current time slot, even if they arrived later. For example, someone arriving at 10:00 must leave the facilities at 11:00 and will therefore not be able to stay for the full 90 minutes.
There are 30-minute breaks between time slots to allow users to leave and the facilities to be cleaned. Swimmers must therefore leave the pool at the end of each time slot.
These opening hours also apply to clubs and organised activities at the swimming pool, which must adapt to the different time slots during the summer holidays.
Outside the period from 1 July to 31 August and periods of extreme heat, the swimming pool’s usual opening hours apply.
Last ticket sale and water exit
The Louis Namèche pool asks swimmers to buy their tickets 45 minutes before closing time and to leave the pool at closing time (19h).
