Meyrin · Geneva
A summer pool for the whole family
As soon as the first sunny days arrive, the outdoor pool at Les Vergers becomes one of the must-visit spots for families in the Geneva region. At the Meyrin Sports Center, you can enjoy vast lawns, several pools, and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to both swimmers and parents who come to splash around with their children. A classic of the Romandy summer, just a stone's throw from the tram.
What your children will discover
Les Vergers is not just one pool, but a whole aquatic journey designed for every age:
- A large 50-meter Olympic pool for swimmers and those who want to do their laps.
- A non-swimmers pool, shallower, for beginners to gain confidence.
- A kiddie pool dedicated to the little ones, where they can splash around safely.
- A giant slide that delights slightly older children and thrill-seekers.
Enough to keep both young and old occupied all day long, between swimming, sliding, and sunbathing on the lawn.
What to do there and the atmosphere on site
People come here for the day rather than for an hour: you spread your towel on the grass, alternate between swimming, playing, and snacking, and enjoy the large green spaces between dives. The atmosphere is family-friendly and summery, with children continuously going down the slide while parents keep an eye on them from the edge. Remember to bring sunscreen, hats, and a little picnic: it’s the perfect place to relax for an entire afternoon.
