Moudon Swimming Pool: swimming by the Broye with family

An Outdoor Pool by the Broye River

Nestled by the Broye, next to the campsite, the Moudon Pool is one of those summer spots that families from the Broye claim as soon as the nice weather arrives. People come in swimsuits, towel under their arm, for a whole day or just to cool off after a stroll through the old town. The site is vast, bucolic, and bordered by greenery: the pools on one side, a large grassy area on the other to spread out a towel and picnic. It’s the perfect summer outing when the sun is shining in Moudon and the kids are asking for water.

What Your Children Will Discover

The pool features several basins designed for all ages. Swimmers have a lap pool for doing lengths, the youngest enjoy a non-swimmers' pool where they can stand, and toddlers splash safely in the wading pool. The highlight for the children remains the slide, which ends in the water with great bursts of laughter. Between swims, the large green space becomes an open-air playground for running, playing ball, or resting in the shade.

What to Do There and the Atmosphere

The atmosphere is relaxed, typical of a village pool: you know your towel neighbors, children make friends between dives, and parents alternate between swimming and reading on the lawn. It’s easy to string together a morning of swimming, a picnic on the grass, a nap in the sun, and one last trip down the slide before heading home. The proximity to the Broye and the campsite gives the place a vacation vibe, even for local families coming for an afternoon.
