Indoor pool of Terre Sainte in Coppet

A Warm Pool, Just Steps from the Lake

Between Geneva and Lausanne, indoor pools are few and far between. The one at Terre Sainte, in the Rojalets sports center in Coppet, is therefore a great spot for families in the region. Managed by Arsco, it features a large pool of 25 meters by 16 (six lanes) and a movable floor pool of 16 meters by 8, with a depth that adjusts for the younger ones. When it rains on Lake Geneva, you put on your swimsuits and keep splashing around without looking at the sky.

What Your Children Will Discover

The little ones gently discover the water in the movable floor pool, adjusted to their height. The older ones gain confidence in the large pool, learn the basics of freestyle, or try diving. Between laps, it's also the simple pleasure of splashing, jumping, and playing with mom and dad in water heated year-round.

What You Can Do There and the Atmosphere

The place operates at the rhythm of clubs, classes, and public swimming times. You’ll see baby swimmers clinging to their parents, schoolchildren in swimming lessons, and families coming for a relaxing afternoon. The atmosphere is sporty yet relaxed, typical of a neighborhood center where everyone crosses paths. Be sure to check the public swimming hours before coming: they vary according to training and classes.
