Would you like to take a dip in a swimming pool in Arras or the Communauté Urbaine ? There are four different locations with complementary opening times. The Aquarena pool, the Daullé pool, the Elie Desbin pool and the Achicourt pool are all open to you.
The Aquarena swimming pool
Aquarena, located at 33 Boulevard Robert Schuman (near Burger King and Cité Nature), is open every day of the week (the only one in Arras to open on Sundays). As with the others, you need to distinguish between school and vacation periods. For example, to take advantage of the slides, the pool is open to the public during school holidays :
- Mondays from 7.30am to 2pm and from 4.30pm to 7pm,
- Tuesdays, 12 noon to 2pm and 4:30pm to 10pm,
- Wednesdays from 12pm to 7pm,
- Thursdays from 12 noon to 2pm and from 4:30pm to 10pm,
- Fridays from 7.30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4.30 p.m. to 7 p.m,
- Saturday, 12 am to 7 pm,
- Sundays from 9 am to 6 pm.
During school vacations, it’s more of a “non-stop” daytime operation, allowing you to enjoy the funfair before or after, for example, in April. Aquarena opening times are as follows :
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm,
- Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m,
- Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Note that balneo hours are very extensive, most often coinciding with pool openings (and even longer). Rates: Under-threes: free; ages 3 to 14: €3.20; adults over 15: €4.50.
