Outdoor swimming pool of Yverdon-les-Bains: pools, slide, and large lawns
Want a great day swimming with family by Lake Neuchâtel? The outdoor pool in Yverdon-les-Bains features a 50-meter pool, a wading pool for the little ones, diving boards, a slide, and large lawns for picnicking. Enough to keep both young and old entertained all summer long.
A breath of fresh air and water in the heart of Yverdon-les-Bains
When the sunny days arrive, the outdoor pool of Yverdon-les-Bains becomes a gathering place for families in the region. There are several pools, including a large 50-meter pool for swimmers and a non-swimmer pool for splashing around in peace. The little ones have their own paddling pool, while the shaded lawns invite you to lay out your towel and relax between dips. It's the kind of place where you drop off your things in the morning and spend the whole day. The season runs from spring to early autumn, starting mid-May in 2026.
What your children will discover
Your children will quickly spot the water slide, which descends into the pool and delights thrill-seekers. The more daring will leap from the diving boards at 1, 3, and 5 meters, under the watchful eyes of their friends. The toddlers, on the other hand, stay in the shallow paddling pool, perfect for their first water discoveries. Between swims, there is also a playground, a beach volleyball court, and ping-pong tables. In short, plenty to alternate between water and games without ever getting bored.
What to do there and the atmosphere on site
Here, people come for the day. The atmosphere is that of a friendly summer pool: you swim a few laps, follow it up with a dive from the diving board, then head to lie down on the lawn. Children move from water to games, from the slide to beach volleyball, while parents enjoy a moment of peace in the shade. A restaurant on site allows you to eat without having to pack up, and the large green spaces leave plenty of room for picnics. During the hot hours of July and August, expect crowds: it's the summer rendezvous for families from Yverdon.
