Many bathers had already taken to using wetsuits, but from Oct. 1 the pool has made them compulsory, to prevent medical emergencies among people not used to swimming in cold water. On the contrary, it's nice and fresh, we feel much better after training in a wetsuit in cold water than when it's heated," she said. Nogent Nautique pool manager Adrien Nougot said the centre had decided to stop heating the 50-metre outdoor pool on May 15 for financial reasons. A poolside sign showed the outdoor pool temperature was 19 C, compared to 28 C in the indoor 25-metre pool. Better a cold pool than a closed pool, said Nicolas Lioret, 48.
