Piscine Balard

Piscine Balard is a swimming center within the Hexagone Balard sports complex, featuring a 25-meter pool divided into four lanes for year-round swimming. The facility includes standard changing areas and viewing spaces for visitors.

The center opened in 2017 as part of a French Ministry of Defense initiative to develop public sports facilities in the area. This opening marked a shift toward more integrated recreational offerings in this district.

The facility brings together civilian and military swimmers in a shared recreational space that reflects how the city integrates defense and community interests. Visitors can observe the daily mixing of different user groups within the complex.

You need to register for a Temporary Access Card before your first visit using the official website. A valid ID is required for entry, so bring your passport or identification document with you.

The pool stays open until 22:45 on multiple days each week, providing extended evening hours for swimmers who work during the day. These late-night slots are uncommon in Paris and offer training flexibility for working adults.
