Hot tip: free aquagym classes every day at a pool in the 17th arrondissement.

From July 4 to August 16, 2026, the Just Fontaine stadium’s summer swimming program in Paris’ 17th arrondissement offers free aquagym classes. Part of the City of Paris’ summer initiative, these sessions are open to the public, space permitting.

Every summer, the City of Paris outfits several temporary swimming sites to offer refreshing spaces during the holidays. The Just Fontaine Stadium, in the 17th arrondissement, hosts one of these ephemeral pools. In addition to swimming, the site offers a program of free athletic activities, including aqua aerobics classes open to adults.

Sessions run from July 4 to August 16, 2026, covering the entire summer swimming season. Led by qualified professionals, they offer a water-based workout accessible to all skill levels. Aquagym focuses on strengthening, balance, and mobility, harnessing the water’s natural resistance to reduce impact on the joints.
