Location

The Municipal Swimming Pool is located in the town of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, a village that integrates its daily life into the region's landscape. The facility is situated within the urban fabric of the town, making it accessible in the context of the community's daily life. Its location allows it to be a reference point for aquatic activities, complementing the existing infrastructure in the locality.

An Indoor Aquatic Space

This municipal facility is distinguished by being an indoor installation, which ensures its use throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. The space has two main pools. One of them, larger, is twenty-five meters long by twelve meters wide, with a depth varying from one meter and twenty centimeters to two meters, intended for swimming and training. The second pool is smaller, measuring twelve by eight meters, and has a depth suitable for fifty centimeters to one meter, ideal for more recreational activities or for those who prefer a shallower area.

The structure was designed to be versatile, allowing for both leisure moments and more focused training sessions, with lanes always available for free swimming. To ensure inclusivity, the pool features equipment that facilitates access for people with reduced mobility, including specific stairs and ramps in one of the pools.

Amenities and Environment

The facilities include well-equipped changing rooms, some of which are adapted for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. With families in mind, there is also a mixed changing room, designed for parents accompanying young children of the opposite sex. Visitors can use lockers to store their belongings safely during their stay. A spectator bench allows for comfortable viewing of activities taking place in the water.

The maintenance and continuous investment in this facility reflect its importance to the local community, ensuring that the space remains functional and suitable for various aquatic activities, from recreational swimming to specific water exercises.
