English term or phrase: gravity pool
i know these are salted water pools, that make you feel like there is no gravity, but what are they called in French ?

Piscine d'eau salée.
Piscine à faible gravité ?

Can you help me find the answer ?
TIA

You are absolutely right - I found this very interesting link about gravity pool - and it is much more than a seawater pool : reste à trouver comment l'on dit vraiment en français

j'ai trouve 'cuve antigravité' - Les traitements prodigués dans le centre de balnéothérapie englobent soins du visage, cuve antigravité et techniques de massage comme le shiatsu, la réflexologie et les massages ayurvédiques. .... donc pourquoi pas piscine antigravité ?

Notes to answerer
Asker: since you can have gravity pool by the sea and elsewhere, i'm just wondering... specially since i do have "seawater pools" (or smthg like that in proper English) too in the same catalogue... do you have exemples ? references for what you"re suggesting ?
