Study days : Sports heritage – The Galin swimming pool
As part of the “Patrimoines Sportifs” study days, Atelier Ferret architectures organized a visit to Bordeaux's Galin swimming pool.
Classified as a “remarkable twentieth-century heritage site”, the Galin swimming pool is a landmark in the urban and social landscape of Bordeaux's right bank.
An original work by architects Gérard and Chassin, the pool was built in 1966. It was closed in 2014 following the discovery of asbestos. In 2018, under the direction of our agency, rehabilitation began, with the aim of modernizing the facility by improving technical equipment, user-friendliness and comfort - while preserving the original spirit. In 2023, the Galin swimming pool was inaugurated after a complete renovation.
It now includes a 25x15m swimming pool, a 12.5x12.5m learning pool, a paddling pool, mineral beaches, a solarium for swimmers, a water play area, a cool island and a weights room.
