L'Océanide

L'Océanide is a centre aquatique in Saverne, Alsace, about thirty kilometres from Strasbourg, at 10 Rue du Centre Nautique, 67700 Saverne. The water is treated pool water; the operator makes no claim of thermal or mineral water. The centre is open throughout the year and is divided into an aquatic area and a separate wellness area, each with its own opening hours and its own admission.

The aquatic area comprises an indoor sports pool of 25 metres with six lanes, open all year; leisure pools indoors and outdoors; two paddling pools, one indoor and one outdoor; a slide; and a jacuzzi. The indoor leisure pool is given as 190 square metres, with massage jets and a counter-current river. The indoor paddling pool is given as 40 square metres with water play features. The slide is stated as open from age 6, to be ridden alone. The outdoor area opens in July and August only and comprises a leisure pool of 260 square metres, an outdoor paddling pool of 47 square metres, a large solarium with sun loungers, and a four-lane Pentagliss racing slide with a minimum height of 1.10 m. Alongside free bathing the centre runs booked aquasport sessions (Aquafitness, Aquaboxing, Aquabiking, Aquafusion), plus swimming courses and an Académie du Savoir-Nager.

The wellness area, described as mixed and requiring a swimming costume every day, holds two saunas, two hammams, a cold plunge bath, two foot baths, a herbal-tea room and a rest area.
