The main reason for renovating the swimming area was to improve safety on the beach. The flagstone floor was badly deformed due to roots that had grown up nearby. These same roots had caused a major leak in the pool’s hydraulic system. The decking is now uniform, more pleasant to walk on and draining for better maintenance.
As well as renewing the liner in the main pool, the entire technical system has been overhauled to optimise the monitoring of bathing water quality and better control energy, water and chemical consumption (acidity and chlorine content parameters, water renewal, chlorination and cleaning of the foot bath, for example).
Access to the beach is now possible for people with reduced mobility. A ramp has been built through the foot bath.
To encourage you to take a rinsing shower before swimming, we have improved comfort by switching to a solar shower, which provides heated water. The flow rate is also controlled to avoid wastage.
A wooden deck has been added at the entrance, making it easier to remove shoes and limiting the amount of soil and grass in the pool and paddling pool.
As for the parasols, we’ve done away with them and replaced them with shade sails. This solution is much more durable.
Finally, the cover has been changed. It covers the pool to limit heat loss and prevent plant waste from settling to the bottom.
Did you know? Unlike private swimming pools, the health authority does not allow us to use anything other than chlorine to treat our pool. Salt treatment is more environmentally friendly, but is not authorised in our country.
For the record, here are a few photos of the evolution of swimming pools
