Piscine Keller, Swimming pool in Paris, France
Piscine Keller is a swimming pool in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. It has a main indoor pool with lanes for swimming and a smaller pool for children, along with changing rooms and showers.
Piscine Keller opened in the 1960s as part of a wave of public swimming pools built in Paris after World War II. It was renovated in the 2000s to improve facilities and energy efficiency.
The pool is named after a former mayor of the 15th arrondissement, and locals often refer to it simply as Keller. It is a common meeting point for families and office workers who come for a swim before or after work.
The pool is open to the public, but it can get crowded after school and on weekends, so going early in the morning or during weekday afternoons is more comfortable. Bring a swim cap, as it is required, and check the schedule for lane swimming times.
The pool has a movable floor that can be raised or lowered to adjust the water depth, a feature not common in older Parisian pools. This allows the pool to host both swimming lessons for beginners and competitions.
