Location

The Bombeiros Pools are located in Caldelas, a parish within the municipality of Guimarães. Integrated into the dynamics of this town, they hold a consolidated presence in the life of the local community, historically serving as a meeting point and aquatic activity hub.

A Facility with Community History

This aquatic space has a long-standing history of serving the population. Recognized as a public utility facility, it played a vital role in promoting aquatic activities and training generations of swimmers in Guimarães and Caldelas. Its importance is such that its rehabilitation is seen as a long-awaited and valued return by the community.

The Requalification Project

Currently, the pools are undergoing a process of extensive requalification, designed to modernize and optimize their facilities. The project foresees a careful intervention that, while maintaining the original building volume, will introduce significant improvements. The focus is on energy efficiency, through the use of new materials and the redefinition of internal spaces, such as the creation of new changing rooms and more functional entrances. This reformulation aims to provide a renovated environment that is more suited to contemporary needs.

Aptitude for Aquatic Activity

Once the intervention is concluded, the Bombeiros Pools are poised to reaffirm their aptitude for sports practice. With updated facilities, the space aims to provide ideal conditions for the promotion of water sports and swimming lessons, resuming its fundamental role in the active life of the population. This investment in the quality of aquatic infrastructure reinforces the commitment to the well-being and development of sporting skills in the region.
