Play sports at low cost by taking advantage of municipal swimming pools.
Between sports halls at exorbitant prices and sports lessons with restrictive schedules, playing sport today is more synonymous with constraint than with pleasure. To do good without taking the lead, think of municipal swimming pools.
Playing sports in the open air is very pleasant, but for city dwellers it is not really practical. Between pollution, traffic, bad weather, the opportunities are rare to be able to go to play sports in the open air.
And to play sports, you need regularity. Municipal swimming pools meet all these criteria:
- The opening hours allow you to go there when you want
- The prices are really affordable
- There is bound to be a swimming pool near you. In Paris, there are still 38.
For any information on Parisian swimming pools, discover the nageurs.com site which will tell you the opening hours but not only. The forum allows you to see swimmers' comments and find out what is going on, when there are people, etc.
So I am often told, why are you going to municipal swimming pools, are they full of people? My answer is simple, it's not shielded for smart swimmers who choose their schedules well. I recommend avoiding Saturdays which are always full. To come early in the morning before going to work or to go there late at night when there is a nocturnal.
The technique that works best for me is to start swimming 30 minutes before the pool closes, at lunchtime for example. Usually people leave 15-20 minutes before the pool closes because they don't want the lifeguard urging them out. Often I find myself alone in my line swimming for 15 minutes, a treat.
Of course from time to time I happen to fall at peak times. It's okay, before paying, I look out the window to see if there are people in the pool. If so, I go home and come back later or another day, it's not the end of the world.
Savings Realized
When it comes to prices, we can hardly do better. In Paris, the municipality allows us to access the pools at prices that will make you want to join a gym. A single entry costs 3 euros for an adult and a set of 10 entries costs 24 euros, or 2.4 euros entry.
This becomes interesting. There is also a 3 month subscription for 34 euros which is not bad at all. Personally, I take the pack of 10 which I find more flexible, I come when I want and I know what it costs me each time. For those under 21, it's just a joke it's 1.70 euros entry ...
It doesn't stop there, you can practice aquatic activities, such as an aquatic gym for 53 euros for 10 sessions with a certified lifeguard. You will find all the prices on the Paris City Hall website. At this price, it is absolutely necessary to take advantage of it!
