Swimming and pools
Would you rather swim in a lake or a pool? Do you prefer to relax or get physical? It can get very, very hot in Lyon, so be sure to remember these...
Summer is here and the days are getting hot! To cool down, here is a snapshot of swimming pools in Greater Lyon and a few bathing spots in the surrounding area.
The summer season is here and opening times are expanding!
Once again this year, to our great delight, there will be a pop-up pool at Tête d'Or Park from 18 June to 31 August. The space has two pools, a water games area and 2000 m² of beaches. In the heart of Lyon’s green lung, this is the ideal place for a spot of reading and relaxation, or games with family and friends!
From 23 June to 28 August 2022, you can also take a dip in Lyon’s 7th district!
For Lyon’s municipal swimming pools, you will need to make an online reservation and pay on the website (except for Vaise swimming pool, where tickets must be purchased at the counter).
Whether you live in Lyon or are visiting the city, swimming pools and water parks in the metropolitan area are open now for a refreshing dip!

Mélina joined our gang this summer, and we're all delighted!She's from the Vendée on the west coast of France, and her eyes are as blue as the ocean that laps its shores. In fact her kind and mischievous eyes are the first thing you notice about her, and you soon realise that despite her gentle and even quite discrete nature lies a boundless source of energy!
