The Swiss Pool Photo Police (#756)

17 September 2025

I really would have liked to get a good picture of the inside of this newly renovated pool in Basel, but the lifeguard/entry office was right next to the only window with a good view of the whole pool … and that glass window had a sufficiently sized pictogram indicating no photos that I couldn’t take a snap and play dumb!

So, a crummy picture of pretty pool, the Hallenbad Rialto, now #756 on my #1001Pools quest.

In the basement underneath the four lane, 25 meter pool, there were two smaller therapy / teaching pools, one of which I was able to snap from outside to give a little better feel for the design and quality of this facility.
