Safety: a fenced pool designed with families in mind

The pool is surrounded by a wire fence with a double-action safety gate. This setup prevents the gate being opened accidentally and adds an extra layer of security around the water.

The depth increases gradually: you enter in an area 1.05 m deep, and the pool then slopes gently down to 1.85 m. This makes swimming more reassuring for families, though children remain their parents' responsibility.

Even though the pool is secure, there is no lifeguard on duty. Children must always remain under an adult's constant supervision.
