I think they are still banned, there was a mention on a thread recently.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

See this thread:-

Or read the ACO statement:-

Dear Sir,

Swimming pool will be forbidden ( not allowed ) in all the campsites, car parks and generale enclosure of the circuit.

Best regards,

So what will you do with it if you unpack it start fill it and get pounced on by the Swimming pool Police?
OK they are not that expensive if the only place you use it is Le Mans it's a bit of a waste.

Willing to take the risk. Carrying it all the way is a waste as it is heavy. They are still nearly twice the price in the UK, so when I get back I will be able to sell it for what i paid for.

Don't forget the signs didn't go up till Friday last year, but the 'pool police' were active all week (ask Smokie   ;D ;D)

We will have pool on our pitch, although it might be on a table.... ;)

I would put money on them being banned, and the ban policed.

I am convinced the ban last year was a space management issue, and the water shortage was an excuse/smokescreen.

Signs were cetainly up at Bleu nord when I arrived Wednesday early am.

Depending on the size of the pool, you could always use on of those big old family frame tents (cut the main section of the roof off) as screening so pool police wont see it. As long as the sides are above head height.

I thought they used a helicopter as well last year to see any. Better leave the roof on and don't splash to loudly ;D

You could just tell them to F. off as your are having a bath because you hate queueing at the dirty showers!!!
