Ou Est Le Swimming Pool were an English synthpop group from Camden, London, made up of Caan Capan, Charles Haddon, and Joe Hutchinson.

The band name is an amalgamation of French (Où Est Le: where is the) and English (Swimming Pool), and is inspired by a line from French teacher Mrs Crabbe (played by Pam Ferris) in the television series Hardwicke House. They released four singles.

In 2009, the band released and re-released their debut single, "Dance the Way I Feel", before supporting La Roux on their UK tour. In 2010, the band released the singles "These New Knights", "Jackson's Last Stand", and "The Key" as well as their debut album The Golden Year.

The band played at Glastonbury Festival and Bestival in 2009, and supported La Roux on their tour in early 2010. In May they played at Evolution Festival and in July at Global Gathering, along with a series of festivals all over Europe throughout the summer of 2010.

They appear on Tiësto's fifth album A Town Called Paradise on the song "The Feeling".

On 20 August 2010, Charles Haddon, the lead singer of the band, died after a performance at Pukkelpop, Belgium. He committed suicide in the backstage artists' parking area. Haddon was reported to have been distressed after he feared he had seriously injured a young girl earlier after a stage dive. However, other sources report that it was in fact Hutchinson who had stage dived into the crowd and injured the fan in question. He was 22 years old.
