Pully Plage: the swimming pool by Lake Geneva
Fancy a family day with your feet in the water? At Pully Plage, you choose between the pools and swimming in Lake Geneva. A paddling pool with an elephant slide for the little ones, beach volleyball and table tennis for the older ones: there is something for everyone.
A swimming pool with its feet in Lake Geneva
Dreaming of a summer outing where everyone finds their place? Pully Plage combines an open-air swimming pool and direct access to Lake Geneva. The toddlers splash in the paddling pool and slide down the elephant-shaped slide, the experienced swimmers do laps in the Olympic pool, and the teens let off steam at beach volleyball or table tennis. All in a lakeside setting open onto the water, with a refreshment stand and its terrace for breaks. A great Pully classic with a real holiday feel.
What your children will discover
Here, the water comes in versions for every level. The little ones have their paddling pool (0.35m deep) with an elephant slide just for them. Children learning to swim enjoy the non-swimmers' pool (0.70 to 1.10m deep), and experienced swimmers have the 50-metre Olympic pool. Beyond the pools, they discover the direct access to the lake, the table tennis tables, the beach volleyball court and even a street workout station for the older ones.
What you do there and the atmosphere on site
You lay down your towel, alternate between the pools and the lake, and enjoy. Families settle in for the day, between swimming, games and tasty breaks at the refreshment stand (menu via QR code). The children go from the paddling pool to the lake, the teens take over the beach volleyball, and the parents relax on the terrace. The atmosphere is laid-back, summery and very family-friendly. On Wednesdays, the Olympic pool even opens as early as 7am for early risers.
