Abstract (en)

The swimming pool comprises a preformed basin suitable for being placed in the ground (1), wherein in one side wall (5), at the height of the water level, two openings are provided for a skimmer (12) installed against the outside of the basin (1). The skimmer (12) comprises a closed channel extending along the outside of the basin (1) over the width of the skimmer opening and further over a distance of at least 50 cm from this opening. In this way, wide skimmer openings can be provided in the swimming pool without causing the skimmer (12) to protrude far out of the side wall (5) of the basin. The skimmer (12) can thus be preinstalled onto the preformed swimming pool basin (1) without increasing the risk of damages during transport and entrenchment of the swimming pool. The customary skimmer weirs can also be omitted to thus prevent the risk of damage to the skimmer weirs.
