The new building of the Saint-Prex swimming pool completes the ensemble of Cherrat College. Its position helps define the school’s playgrounds by protecting them from the street space.

The swimming pool is a compact volume in white concrete, with the simplicity of its facades contrasting with the cozy atmosphere of the interior spaces, adorned with whitewashed fir slats.

Equipped with a learning pool and a 25m pool, the swimming pool is a flexible and versatile facility that can simultaneously accommodate swimming lessons for schoolchildren and the public.

The waiting area and the 6 available changing rooms provide great user comfort for all users. By creating a simple and welcoming swimming space with excellent acoustic comfort, the architects aimed to offer visitors a place conducive to relaxation and sports.
