Dating from 1971 (without the 2011 expansion), the swimming pool deserved a complete renovation.
The construction site ends et the equipment was to be inaugurated this Saturday.
The choice of work for better comfort
The new swimming pool will firstly be a more comfortable setting for all users over time.
The City of Dunkirk had decided to carry out the investments and work necessary to make Paul-Asseman a model of ecological transition.
On the occasion of this reopening, the Municipality had chosen to allow Dunkirk, Saint-Polois and Fort-Mardyckois who wish, and whatever their age, to learn swimming for free.
But you will have to wait a few more days.
A technical reopening initially
Following the reception of the work scheduled for this Thursday, October 31 in the morning, the technical services of the City of Dunkirk have decided to postpone the reopening to the public of the Paul-Asseman swimming pool.
The end of the work will allow a technical reopening of the equipment this Saturday, November 2, but not access to the pools.
“Indeed, to guarantee compliance with public reception conditions from an accessibility point of view and to guarantee operation of the pools in the required health conditions, around ten days
additional will be necessary for the last technical interventions and the confirmation of the already satisfactory analyzes before reopening for swimmers“, specifies the City.
The additional festivities planned for this Saturday are therefore also postponed.
