Piscine champerret, Public swimming pool in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France
Piscine Champerret is a public swimming pool in the 17th arrondissement with two separate pools: a 25-meter sports pool and a smaller training and leisure pool. The facility has windows and a glass roof that lets natural light flood the water.
The pool was built in 1987 and became a staple facility in the neighborhood. After major renovations, it reopened in 2019 with modern facilities and updated equipment.
The facility serves as a gathering place for neighborhood residents who come for swimming lessons and water fitness classes. People of different ages use the space to train together or simply enjoy time in the water.
The water is heated to a comfortable temperature, making swimming pleasant throughout the year. Opening hours vary by day of the week, with some evening sessions, so checking the schedule in advance is helpful.
While swimming, the glass roof provides a view of the bell tower of Saint-Odile church, adding an unexpected connection to the surrounding neighborhood. Many visitors miss this detail on their first visit.
