“That’s why it’s cool, it’s a beautiful swimming pool” – Florent Manaudou, Olympic champion in London

The last time the Aquapolis Limoges Métropole hosted these French championships was in 2015, just a few months after the inauguration of the aquatic complex. Charlotte Bonnet had won 5 national titles here, she appreciates the place: “Yes, it’s true that it’s a very beautiful pool. The last French championships were very good too! In 2015, there were a lot of people, I remember. In addition, the play area has been set up for us. , it’s a beautiful complex”. And Florent Manaudou, the London Olympic champion is of the same opinion:“It’s a pool where there’s room. I like it when we compete at a high level to have room to recover, to be able to warm up. That’s why it’s cool. It’s a nice pool.”
