Situated on Avenida 25 de Abril, one of Gouveia's main arteries, the Municipal Pool is easily accessible within the town's urban fabric. Its outdoor component offers an inviting grassy area, ideal for enjoying the sun and the outdoors, providing a space for leisure and social gathering in the heart of the town.
The Gouveia Municipal Pool is a benchmark facility for water activities, available to its visitors at different times of the year. The structure includes both indoor and outdoor pools, each with its own particularities. The outdoor pools, inaugurated in the 1980s, offer a relaxed atmosphere for the warmer months. The indoor pools, more recent, date back to 2002 and guarantee the continuity of aquatic activities regardless of weather conditions, allowing swimming and leisure to be a constant in Gouveia.
This aquatic complex caters to different needs through its variety of pools. The indoor facilities feature two main pools: a larger one, 25 meters in length, and a learning pool, ideal for beginners or for a more relaxed session, with varying depths. The water temperatures in these pools are maintained at comfortable levels. For the summer months, the outdoor pools have a main pool and a paddling pool for children, complemented by a large grassy area for sunbathing, and also access to a tennis wall and a multi-purpose court for additional activities.
The Municipal Pool is not just a place to swim, but a true aquatic wellness center. It provides an environment conducive to free swimming and various forms of water fitness, suitable for all age groups. The design of the space allows for the organization of sports events and serves as a support point for local swimming associations, highlighting its active role in promoting sports and aquatic leisure in the Gouveia region. It is a place where recreation and physical activity meet, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy refreshing and healthy moments.
