Location

The Covilhã Municipal Swimming Pool is located in Bairro dos Penedos Altos, an urbanized area of the city. Its integration into this neighbourhood provides a landmark for residents and visitors seeking its facilities, becoming part of the daily dynamic of this urban area.

Characteristics and Function

This aquatic facility underwent a restructuring in 1998, a significant milestone that led to its roofing. This alteration allowed the pool to be used throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. Thus, the space transformed into a venue adapted for diverse aquatic needs across different seasons, supporting the regular practice of swimming and other modalities.

Diversity of Aquatic Activities

When fully operational, the Municipal Swimming Pool hosted a wide range of aquatic activities. These included free use, aquatic adaptation sessions for both children and adults, and various levels of swimming technique improvement. Additionally, activities such as aquatic rehabilitation and hydrogymnastics were offered, demonstrating the versatility of the space for different audiences and objectives, from learning to well-being.

Updated Information

It is important to note that, currently, the Covilhã Municipal Swimming Pool is closed. Soil consolidation work where the facility is located became necessary following geological studies. The date for its reopening has not yet been defined, and the costs of this intervention are currently being assessed.
