Just above Prince-Arthur on the Main, Piscine Schubert offers a low-profile but highly functional indoor swim setup in the Plateau. It’s clean, calm, and well-scheduled, with free open swim hours, adult-only slots, and lane swim sessions spread across the week. The pool’s kept at a comfortable 27°C—warm enough to attract year-round regulars, but not so hot it feels like a bathhouse. Programming runs deep here: from lifesaving and instructor certifications to adapted swim periods for community groups and private lessons on request. There’s no splashy marketing or flash architecture—it’s a pool that does the job, especially for locals in the know. You’ll find equipment available for use (pull buoys, kickboards, floatation gear), but no fins or snorkels allowed. Whether you’re clocking lengths, cooling off, or helping your kid learn to float, Schubert delivers without drama. Just show up and swim.
