The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 35 AN INITIATIVE ACCELERATED AS A RESULT OF THE GAMES AROUND 20 POOLS WHERE PEOPLE CAN LEARN HOW TO SWIM Organising the Paris 2024 Games presents an opportunity to create a legacy in Seine- Saint-Denis by building multiple swimming pools, which will be used as competition, training and warm up venues before and during the Games. This involves building permanent structures for new pools, carrying out renovations and extensions accelerated as a result of the Games, as well as building temporary pools that can be reused after the Games. The construction and renovation of these pools is a key part of the 2016-2021 swimming plan adopted by the Seine Saint Denis departmental council. Although it is still too early to quantify the precise number of new swimming pools being created in Seine Saint Denis as a direct or indirect result of the Games (subject to confirmation of the final work programmes), the different projects underway enable us to estimate that number at around 20: • The Aquatics Centre in Saint-Denis: new facilities (three pools) • The temporary pools for the Games (two at the Paris La Défense Arena and one at the Aquatics Centre) • The Pont de Bondy pool in Noisy-le-Sec: new facilities (three pools) • The Aquatics Centre in Fort d’Aubervilliers: new facilities (four pools) • The Aquatics Centre in Aulnay-sous-Bois: new facilities (seven pools) • The Marville swimming pool in La Courneuve: renovation and extension of the existing facilities (six pools)
