Complex sportif Claude-Robillard

Olympic pool gleams in new splendour

When in 1976 the Olympic swimming competitions took place in Montreal, the “Complexe Sportif Claude-Robillard” was in the public eye world-wide. 30 years later, the generously planned pool complex was extensively renovated and turned into a topmodern sports facility satisfying the highest standards with quality ceramics of AGROB BUCHTAL. The intentionally chosen contrast between ceramics in water colour and exposed concrete creates an unusual visual attractiveness.

Today, the ten-lane, 50 x 25 m large multipurpose competition pool with mobile wall and movable floor meets the requirements of the international swimming association FINA just as the diving pool under the 10 m platform, which could be realized with a depth of 5 m only with ceramics, not with steel.
