One of the nicest places for proper swimming, this is a beautiful 1930s lido renovated for the 2001 European waterpolo championships. There's a small sauna, and two large outdoor pools against a backdrop of trees; one is normally given over to waterpolo. In the winter you can swim out along a channel to the larger of the pools without walking outside.
