Located in the city centre, on the right bank of Brest, close to public transport (tram and bus), the Brest Métropole Recouvrance swimming pool was built for sports swimming with a covered 50 m pool (6 lanes), a small learner pool and a fitness area consisting of a spa and two saunas. The swimming pool benefits from a weights room with direct access to the pools. Electronic time-keeping displays can be installed on the lanes.
