Yes its true based on my own experience. The basic rule seems to be it needs to me made of Lycra. I believe its a hygiene thing as you may potentially have worn the shorts outside? The reality of course is that even though you could have worn your shorts elsewhere anyone i have ever met has a separate pair of shorts for swimming. It does seem very illogical considering what dogs owners seem to be allowed to get away with in France.

You are right, i think since they re-vamped the website the English links have gone. If you use google chrome it detects the site is in French and offers to translate it for you. It actually makes quite a good job of this.

Hi
Is the site in English at all, I can’t see any link to read it in English?
Thanks

I am afraid the management at the Aqualud are fairly stringent about not bringing picnics as they want you to eat in the fast food cafe which in my opinion could be a lot better. Also you cannot go in as a spectator and have to pay full price. I have always thought the Aqualud pricing to be unfair with a children's ticket based on height rather than age. Come on Aquaud management lets have a sensible price for a family ticket, a discount if you go in 2 hours before it closes. Oh and drop the shorts rule it just confuses and annoys people as there are no clear guidelines. Why not try the Bagatelle theme park at Berke its a great day out for similar money and a lot less restricting.

Hello,Our family are going to be in Le Touquet for 3 days in July.The Aqualud will be a big hit with our son and daughter but we can’t afford to go every day at 70 Euros.To help with cost is it acceptable to bring our own picnic?Also do you have to pay if you are just going to watch the children? Want to do as much as possible with the kids, but we want to relax as well.Thanks in advance.

I recently went myself to the Aqualud and it seems they do enforce the swimwear only rule. “No Shorts”
Apparently this is for hygiene reasons and is now the norm across all of France. I assume that they imagine people use the same shorts for outside daily use? I wondered if it was a way of beating the recession for small shop owners who sell swimwear? So if its not specifically swim-wear and not made of Lycra or a similar material you will probably have a problem getting in. All is not lost if you can’t get in, the happy lady in the swim-wear shop in the entrance can sort you out with a suitable pair of swimmers for €10. Personally i just think the French wanted to see more of my body than the rest of the world feels able to cope with LOL.

I have never been aware of any issues with costumes at the Park. Their website simply says that for reasons of hygiene you should wear
swim wear. So i would assume this means no cut off jeans or underwear. As its a family place its also probably not recommended to
where anything thats to revealing.
