Mobile Swimming Pool Brings Lessons to Rural Moselle

For more than a year, a mobile swimming pool lorry has been travelling around Moselle, providing lessons to schoolchildren in rural communes where access to a municipal pool is limited.

The truck is fitted with a fully equipped aquatic structure, including a heat pump, water filtration and supply systems, and an adjustable floor that can be set from 0.3 metres up to 1.3 metres depending on the activity. The programme focuses on developing basic water skills, starting with immersion, balance, and movement, and progressing to swimming propulsion.

By bringing the pool directly to schools, the initiative reduces travel time and logistical challenges for rural communities, allowing longer, more effective lesson sessions.
