Suggestions of Swimming Pools in Geneva

I'm keen to take up swimming two or three times per week. Just to have fun and get more fit. I live in Eaux-Vives and I'm hoping that someone can suggest a pool not too far away. Of course, I'm prepared to travel anywhere in Geneva but really don't know where to start.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers,

David

Just a  short ride away on the tram in  Thônex.
Pool  is 25 metres  so good size to restart swimming .
Clean and well maintained. 
Think there is a restriction on baggy swimming trunks for men.
No need for a padlock for vestiares, as a system which works using 2chf coin

Thank you so much. Thonex would be perfect as it is only a few tram stops. Many thanks for the link. It is so kind of you.


Cheers,


David

Thank you jilette. I will follow your link. I'm also thinking that as the lake is 5 minutes from me, what better than just swimming in the lake! :-)

Hi David! I could really recommend Piscine des Vernets like Jilette posted. It is a 50m bath, not that busy, in wintertime it has a free sauna and they always have a lot of lanes available for sports swimmers. It's quite cheap to get a monthly unlimited abo (somewhere around 20chf). Have fun!

If you do not mind the water temperature - Bain de Pacquis. They have a changing room with a locker.
