Piscine Georges Vallerey

Great pool! Clean, with good showers and mindful staff. Really good for training, a lot of dedicated lanes! Schedule is great too, better than in George’s Hermant nearby. Also, polycarbonate roof gives a lot of ligh inside, which is a very refreshing experience! No soap in the showers though, I’m often seeing people skipping washing before swimming because of this. Also, it’s a bit dark really in the shower and there’s a small step that is often missed by the guests, and people are falling all the time. Really sad little thing that is definitely worth improving. Also, the facade is a bit ugly, a bit sad to me as a local…

In my opinion, the best pool in Paris. Mainly because it's big, but the lanes are organized by style (crawl, material etc) and that helps you find a lane that works for you. Can be busy at times, but somehow it all works. The hours are variable since they share with schools, but the schedule is po sted and clear. Nice history too...olympic pool from 1924!

The best pool in Paris. Great size, well-organised lanes, clean and very friendly staff.

Clean, has code lockers, and most importantly real 50 meters, without becoming shallow at any point, like Chatelet pool

A nice pool located 20mins metro from central Paris. French customs (mandatory swimming cap / swim shorts forbidden) are enforced.

Always my favourite pool. Everything is great. 50m pool with plenty different lines, good for swimmers. But it would be prefect if some work can be done for the toilet. I don’t use the toilet that much. But it’s quite dirty and smell is so strong every time when I walk passed. Actually avoided using it. *update-construction has been done in the toilet. Everything is great 😊

Fermé depuis 2017, c’est enfin ouvert ! (16/07/18) A nice pool with a rising floor to adjust water depth. Large swim lanes and partially open roof. Good for tanning. Showers have been redone but still some glitches. For some reason they closed the women’s showers and lockers on the day I visited and so everyone was sharing the men’s area.

The pool hosted swimming events for Gay Games 10. The pool may be set for 25 meters or 50 meters. The retractable roof is a great feature, and the facilities are spacious. The pool is easy to find, located only 1 block from the Metro.

Piscine Georges Vallerey is the swimming stadium among the pools in Paris. The Basin does not qualify to be called "Olympic" anymore by the current standard (50x25 Meters and Piscine Georges Vallerey 'only' has 50x21), but who gives a damn? 50 Meters length, plenty of lanes, and no shallow end. The biggest basin in(side) Paris and real Public Pool for Swimmers. Thanks to a variable floor on one side of the basin, they can use this pool in different configurations over the days, so if you want to use all the 50 Meters of length, make sure to check the website when they are operating that way and not in other configurations. The best bit about this Pool? In Summer they can open the roof. Why only 4 Stars then? Piscine Georges Vallerey is not without fault. The last big renovation was 1989 and the pools age is showing here and there. The starting blocks were rusting. Showers and the dressing-room area (men and women separated in both) are quite dark and unwelcoming. Not many individual changing cabins and those who are there are rather small and marked with lots of Graffiti and Stickers. Toilets are not up to modern Standards. The pool hall itself was quite cold when I was there, it was a lot warmer in the other areas.
