Ready to brave the cold to dive in? Two outdoor swimming pools reopen in the Vals de Saintonge

You can again swim in the Vals de Saintonge. The community of municipalities has decided to reopen its two outdoor swimming pools, from this Thursday, April 15, since the government allows the practice of physical activity in the open air within a radius of 30 kilometers around home.

The Atlantys Aquatic Center in Saint-Jean d’Angély remains closed. But the outdoor swimming pools of Loulay and Saint-Hilaire de Villefranche reopen this Thursday for four weeks, seven days a week. There is even aquagym!

You must book a time slot to be able to swim in one of the water lines. There is disinfection between each slot, limited to 30 people. It is also necessary to have a proof of address and fill a attestation derogatory when it comes. And above all: you must not be cautious!
