Whether the band's name is inspired by La Piscine or the more recent Swimming
Pool is anyone's guess. Apart from the name, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool has no
particular French influence, with the band drawing inspiration more from Depeche
Mode or Pet Shop Boys. Formed in 2008 in Camden, north London, the trio began to
make a name for themselves on the live scene before releasing Dance the Way I
Feel, their first EP, in 2009. Dance the Way I Feel is the prelude to an album
due in 2010.
