Bazéne

Bazéne is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly a type of swimming pool or a large body of water used for various purposes. In its most frequent usage, a bazéne is an outdoor swimming pool, often found in public parks, recreational areas, or private residences. These pools are designed for leisure activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and water games. They can vary greatly in size and depth, accommodating both children and adults.

Beyond recreational swimming pools, the term bazéne can also be used more broadly to describe any large, contained body of water. This might include ornamental ponds or even basins within industrial settings used for water storage or cooling. In some contexts, it might also refer to a natural body of water like a lake or a large pond, particularly if it is used for activities like boating or fishing. The specific meaning is often determined by the surrounding context and regional dialect. Regardless of the precise application, the core concept of a bazéne revolves around a significant collection of water, either man-made or natural, that serves a particular function.
