The Municipal Swimming Pools of Mealhada are strategically located in the city's sports zone. Their location offers easy access, being close to Mealhada Train Station and a short distance from one of the A1 motorway exits, facilitating the arrival of those traveling from various parts of the region.
This aquatic complex stands out for its modern and innovative infrastructure, designed to offer high-quality conditions. The space is equipped to host not only the general public, but also to serve as a venue for high-level swimming trials and competitions. The attention given to environmental and water treatment contributes to a pleasant and hygienic experience for all its users.
One of the most notable elements of its construction is the telescopic roof. This unique feature allows the pools to function as a covered and heated space during the colder months, and to transform into an open-air facility in the summer, fully taking advantage of sunny days. This versatility ensures the complex can be used all year round, adapting to weather conditions.
The complex consists of two distinct pools, designed for different purposes and users. The larger pool measures 25 meters by 18 meters, with a uniform depth of 2 meters, ideal for swimming and activities that require more space. The second pool, 18 meters by 10 meters, varies in depth between 0.60 meters and 1.25 meters, making it more suitable for learning or activities that require less depth, such as leisure.
The Municipal Swimming Pools of Mealhada enable the practice of various aquatic activities. For those seeking just a moment of leisure or individual exercise, there is the option of free access, which allows the use of the facilities for swimming. The pools also support the holding of other modalities and classes, highlighting their multifaceted role in sport and well-being.
To enjoy the facilities, it is important that visitors prepare with the appropriate gear. The use of a swimming cap and an appropriate swimsuit is mandatory: for men, close-fitting trunks, and for women, a full swimsuit. Additionally, the use of flip-flops is recommended in areas where walking barefoot is necessary, such as in the changing rooms and near the pools, to ensure the hygiene and safety of everyone.
