Hotels often have the biggest pools, and sometimes an indoor pool in the spa as well. Around Mont-Saint-Michel and Granville, a warm swim mostly means a gîte with an indoor pool. Here are the 2 hotels I've selected around Mont-Saint-Michel and in Granville, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend ibis budget Pontorson Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel and Hôtel de la Baie (Prévithal Thalasso).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask whether the seawater circuit is included with your night or reserved for packages.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is ibis budget Pontorson Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel (Hotel), with 8.8/10 (65 reviews · Expedia). Next come Hôtel de la Baie (Prévithal Thalasso) (8.5/10).
None of the places selected around Mont-Saint-Michel and in Granville clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. ibis budget Pontorson Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel and Hôtel de la Baie (Prévithal Thalasso) have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
Advertised temperatures: 32 °C at Hôtel de la Baie (Prévithal Thalasso). For the other places the temperature isn't published: ask the property.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
