Located within the Dairas Sports Complex, the outdoor swimming pools are situated at the entrance to Vale de Cambra, in a harmonious transition between the urban area and the greenery of the surrounding mountains. The proximity to the town center ensures easy pedestrian access, without compromising the feeling of being in a more tranquil area.
The immediate setting includes landscaped pedestrian paths and well-maintained lawns, creating a smooth connection between the indoor swimming pool building and the extensive sandy areas surrounding the open-air structures.
The geometric design of the water surfaces contrasts with the natural surroundings: an Olympic-sized swimming pool measuring 50m by 25m is flanked by a paddling pool and a diving pool, all bordered by traditional paved paths. This play of shapes enhances the intense blue of the water.
In the background, the Serra das Freitas and the Caima river valley can be seen, providing a setting of great serenity. The adjacent lawn areas invite moments of rest, while the native vegetation offers occasional shaded spots.
In addition to the three outdoor pools 50 × 25 m pool, diving pool (6.5 × 6.5 m, 5 m depth), and paddling pool (6 × 6 m), the complex offers changing rooms with lockers and showers, a medical support post, and discreet technical support areas.
The lounging areas include wooden sun loungers and benches, complemented by canvas umbrellas, which create small shaded retreats near the water. These details provide comfort without breaking the clean and functional aesthetic of the space.
