Big Pool

Today we joined Alicia's daddy (he works in the Antigone in Montpellier right next to the Olympic pool) for a splash in the pool - we've never been before...

Rather surprised at the cost of the entry.. nearly Euro10 for 2 adults - Alicia at 3 yrs old was free. Although they do have tickets where you can buy 10 hours of swimming for Euo23.50 which works out much cheaper (you can't share that time between a family though - it's individual)... also monthly and yearly tickets.

What was good though was the selection of pools - one huge pool with lanes, one medium pool with lines upstairs (less serious swimmers) - then a pool with a windy slide... and then a pool ideal for 3 year olds - water up to Alicia's chin... and then a tiny little hot paddling pool for tiny babies... oh, and 3 big jacuzzis.

We were in there 45 mins before it was pointed out to me that the roof was open to the skies - it slides back...

Good facilities for kiddies and babies for changing - even little tiny toilets and huge baby changing tables. You'll need a 50 cent piece for your locker.

All very well organised... and even at lunchtime in July we had the Alicia sized pool to ourselves.

No bermuda shorts allowed - swim hats obligatory but you can buy them there for Euro2 a pop.
