Keller swimming-pool, Public swimming pool in Beaugrenelle, Paris, France
Keller is a swimming facility with two pools of different sizes: a 50-meter pool with marked lanes for lap swimmers and a 25-meter pool for recreational use. The building features large glass surfaces that allow natural light to flood the interior spaces.
The facility opened in 1971 following designs by architect André Remondet. It was built with brutalist design principles emphasizing large glass surfaces for brightness and a modern appearance.
The facility is named after Gilbert Keller, a former Paris official responsible for sports programs in the city. It serves as a gathering place where neighbors of different ages come together to swim, exercise, or spend time in the water.
The facility offers different schedules throughout the week, with early morning hours available starting at 7:00 AM on select days. Visiting during off-peak times helps you enjoy more space in the pools and a more relaxed swimming experience.
The facility has a retractable glass roof that opens during warm weather to create an open-air swimming experience while providing protection in colder months. Few visitors realize this feature exists, making the swimming experience quite different depending on the season.
