Presentation of the equipment

The Eugène Maës Watersports Arena is situated in the centre of Caen, just two hours from Paris. It is located opposite the racecourse, with plenty of parking nearby.  The arena is a modern facility that has been fully renovated and re-opened in September 2017. It is open to users of all abilities. It boasts an outdoor 50-metre, 8-lane pool and an indoor 25-metre pool, which can be used as a warm-up or recovery area. The complex also has a 19-capacity meeting room, a team leader’s office overlooking the pools, storage facilities and an anti-doping testing facility, making it the ideal place for Olympic and Paralympic athletes to prepare for competition.
