The gauge is limited to 80 people. Sometimes you have to wait a little to enjoy the 50m outdoor pool heated to 28 ° C but it is worth it according to the swimmers:
It’s a little happiness
Some swimmers have traveled a hundred kilometers to enjoy a sports bath like Gilles, from Montceau-les-Mines or Adélaïde, who comes from Gray. She admits that it takes a good deal of willpower.
