Bassin Laure Manaudou, Municipal outdoor swimming pool in Melun, France.
The Bassin Laure Manaudou is a public outdoor swimming facility in Melun featuring a 50 by 20 meter Olympic-sized pool with a maximum depth of 1.80 meters. Located at Quai du Maréchal Joffre, it serves swimmers for both recreation and training throughout the warm season.
The pool opened shortly after the 2004 Athens Olympics and was named after swimmer Laure Manaudou, who won three medals there including gold in the 400-meter freestyle. This decision reflected the local pride in her achievement.
The pool serves as a gathering place for swimmers of all levels from the surrounding area, where training groups and families regularly meet for recreation and sport. It functions as a venue for local competitions that help sustain the swimming culture in the city.
Visiting is possible year-round, with the summer season being most active. Bring a towel and swimming gear; swimming caps are required, and changing rooms and showers are available on site.
After Manaudou's Olympic victory, memberships in local swimming clubs increased noticeably. Many young swimmers started training, inspired by her success and hoping to follow her path.
