On short notice I will be in Paris, France, for most of next week. This is a week when I would like to get some meterage in.
Can any one of you recommend a place to swim (yes, I want to spend an hour or two with my head in chlorine fumes instead of wandering around the Ille de Paris.)
Parisian suburbs would be OK, also.
Try http://www.swimmersguide.com/. I located a few places at the Lornet online site.
I was in Paris in 1997, and swam laps at open public lap swimming Sunday morning at a 50 (or was it 33) meter indoor pool in Les Halles. The cost was relatively cheap.
I took forever to find the pool since the Les Halles complex is a large relatively modern underground shopping complex. The pool was located on the THIRD underground level down.
Lanes were arranged by STROKE, not speed. I also seem to remember that the pool did not use chlorine, but ozone.
Good luck.
