We were always worried about what size pool we were going to need for our centre in the Pyrenees.  As swimmers we always look for 25m pools to do our training in but there was no way we could put in a full size pool and manage it.  So we decided on the Endless Pool which combines the ability to train hard if you wish with the relaxation of a small pool located on our terrace next to the house.

The pool arrived from the US in August 2005.  We had it shipped into La Havre and then it was trucked down to us in Luscan.  We were lucky to have friends Cathy and Bill Taylor staying with us as they helped man handle into  the pool and all of its equipment into our barn.

The pool measures 8' x 14' or just under 3m by 5m.  It is heated all year round, either by the sun or an electric heater in the cooler months.

The pool works by drawing the water from the pool through a large fan and pushing it out again to allow the swimmer to swim against the current.

We were lucky enough that Endless Pools gave us a slightly wider pool and the more powerful motor to allow the more advanced swimmers a great workout.  We have also installed underwater mirrors and an underwater camera to allow stroke technique to be analysed if you so wish.

Pyrenees Multisport has also been chosen to act as the show pool for France.  So if you are interested in the Endless Pool then you can always come and try it out.

We hope that this pool will provide a welcoming swim after your days activities but also it allows you to make it one of your training sessions and you can take away your swim video on DVD.

Any questions on the pool then please let us know.
