AquaSplash in Renens: the great aquatic happiness of Vaud families

AquaSplash, the summer paradise in Renens

When the thermometer rises in the Vaud region, AquaSplash becomes one of the favorite spots for families in the western Lausanne area. Located on Avenue du Censuy in Renens, this large outdoor pool offers more than just a swimming pool: it features a complete water park, slides that make children laugh out loud, diving boards for the more daring, and a paddling pool for the little ones. The atmosphere is family-friendly, lively, and cheerful, just a stone's throw from the city center. People come for swimming, but stay for the lawn, games, and picnics. A true concentration of summer just minutes from Lausanne.

What your children will discover

Here, every age finds its playground. The older kids launch themselves down the slides (including a long slide of nearly 100 meters) and climb the tiered diving boards of 1, 3, 5, and 10 meters above the heated Olympic pool. Swimmers enjoy the 50 meters to do their laps, while the more cautious splash around in the non-swimmers' pool with its jets and water games. As for the little ones, they have their kingdom: the Baby-Splash area, with water cannons, spraying animals, and small slides made just for them. Beyond the water, the site also offers a climbing wall, trampolines, beach volleyball, ping-pong, and football and basketball courts.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

A day at AquaSplash is a perfect mix of swimming and lounging. You lay your towel on the large lawn, alternate between laps in the Olympic pool and sliding down the slides, and take breaks in the shade. The water, maintained between 22 and 24 degrees, remains pleasant even when the kids spend hours in it. The atmosphere is typically that of a summer pool in Vaud: families, teens with friends, laughter, and the smell of sunscreen. Bring a picnic or take a break at the snack bar; the idea is to stay all day without checking the time.

Parents' tips

• Arrive early on hot days: shade and the best spots on the lawn fill up quickly.
• Keep the little ones in the Baby-Splash area, designed and secured for them, rather than at the edge of the big pool.
• Locate the lifeguard station upon arrival and set a meeting point with the older kids.
• Bring sandals: the ground can get very hot in the sun.
• Prefer public transport or Censuy parking: access is easy, but the surroundings fill up on sunny days.
