Unique in Bordeaux, this is the first swimming pool in France to be equipped with a Handiroom (changing room for people with disabilities). Continuing in this committed and inclusive dynamic, it will be named after the handisport swimmer Elodie Lorandi, holder of several French, European, and World records.

Setting an example in terms of eco-responsibility, the pool uses the urban heat network of the Hauts de Garonne to heat the structure using the heat generated by the incineration of waste from the Cenon plant and the wood boiler in Lormont. Always with an environmental respect perspective, the waters are.Basins are preserved and reused, especially for watering the green areas of the pool.

Great news: on the first day, access will be free, but will require a reservation for a dedicated time slot (1 hour) so that as many Cenon residents as possible can enjoy it.
