Indoor Pool of Livron – Meyrin

A heat bubble in the heart of winter

When the weather turns bad and outdoor outings become complicated, the covered pool in Livron is a reliable option to keep the kids entertained while having fun. Located in the center of Meyrin, in the canton of Geneva, it opens its doors from mid-September to mid-May, alternating with the pool at the sports center. It’s the ideal place to splash around, swim a few laps, or introduce the youngest to the water throughout the cold season.

What your children will discover

The main pool measures 25 meters and has a movable bottom, allowing the depth to be adjusted according to groups and levels. A paddling pool is reserved for the little ones, who can get familiar with the water gently, without fear. On Saturday afternoons, floating games are set up for children to have fun and gain confidence in the water.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

The atmosphere is that of a friendly neighborhood pool, frequented by families, regular swimmers, and local swimming schools. You can come simply for the pleasure of splashing around with family, or to swim a few laps while the kids play. Two swimming schools, Meyrin-Natation and the Dolphins, offer classes suitable for all ages and levels: a good option if you want your children to learn to swim in a supervised setting. On Tuesdays, the depth is reduced to 1.20 meters, which reassures non-swimmers.
