Water sports and leisure activities Dijon

The Carrousel swimming pool has a new look for all to enjoy. Every day of the week and all year round, this gigantic space welcomes families, individuals, day-trippers and experienced sportsmen and women. The pool, which dates back to 1952, was in dire need of renovation, both in terms of layout and eco-responsibility. The new concept has therefore been rethought and adapted to comply with the latest standards in terms of eco-performance and optimum functionality. A fully green roof, rainwater harvesting, bioclimatic equipment orientation, wastewater heat recovery and ozone water treatment. Easily accessible via the urban transport network and perfectly adapted for people with reduced mobility, it excludes no one. As for the pools, there's something for everyone! A 25 m pool for swimmers, a 220 m² educational pool with water jets for the whole family and a lagoon for the little ones. The complex includes a wellness area on the first floor, with a heated pool open all year round for a "Nordic bath" effect. Outside, open in fine weather to 500 m² of shaded green space, guests can spread out their towels and enjoy access to the restaurant area. The more adventurous can try their hand on one of the four lanes of the pentagliss, while others can take advantage of the 50 m² pool, the many water games or play beach volleyball. The Carrousel swimming pool is a place to relax, keep fit and get away from it all.

The Dijon Metropole Olympic swimming pool offers visitors state-of-the-art sports facilities, with four accessible areas: aquatic, diving, fitness and well-being. The complex has three pools: a 50m pool, a 25m pool and a "fun" pool. You can swim or do one of the many activities on offer: aquacycle, aquagym, aqua punch, baby swimmers, swimming lessons for all ages, and even lessons to overcome your fear of water. It is also here that you can dive, in these two pits, unique in Burgundy, 6 and 20 m deep. On the program: baptism and courses (levels 1 and 2), training course of apnea... It is the first pit of France to have obtained the EcoSub label. This "title" underlines the fact that the constraints and ecological responsibilities of the place are fully respected. Moreover, the pit is accessible at a very reduced rate and entirely secure. On site, we lend you the necessary equipment (wetsuit, tank, regulator, mask, fins, vest). Finally, if you are not a big fan of water, perhaps you will find your happiness with the fitness classes: aerobics, step, CAF, stretching, body sculpt, Pilates and Zumba. We are particularly fond of the wellness area where you will find a hammam and a sauna. The choice is vast, there is inevitably an activity that will suit you! You should also know that the pool regularly organizes competitions and events, including the diving festival.

The Grésilles swimming pool is one of the oldest municipal swimming pools in Dijon. Its construction of 1970 does not make it dream, but it does not diminish. There are two basins covered. The small is ideal for young children and for those who learn to swim, which is also valid for adults. A few steps allow you to enter the water at its rhythm and then to walk. The large pool, for its part, allows to dive and take a few lengths in peace. In summer, it is possible to enjoy the sun by extending its towel across the window. On the side of the regulated activities, they are numerous and varied: swimming courses to aquabike by passing through gym, the agenda is well provided!

The Dijon Metropole Olympic swimming pool is equipped with a 50 m Olympic pool with 10 lanes for swimming laps, a 25 m pool for activities and a pool dedicated to leisure. For more relaxation, go to the sauna or the hammam and during the good weather, on the outdoor beaches. It is possible to practice scuba diving, thanks to the two diving pits: one 6 m and the other 20 m deep. A modern, complete and attractive aqua-ludic space for all.
