Thanks to this pool and two others installed in Clichy and Suresnes, the 4,000 6th grade students in the department will be able to develop their swimming practice. But not only. A few months before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, they will also discover the values of Olympicism and the practice of Paralympic swimming.
These pools will also be available to cities, associative structures and the UNSS on Wednesday afternoon.
