Location:

The Health Club Complexo Tropical is located in Bougado, one of the parishes that constitute the municipality of Trofa. Trofa, in turn, is a town north of Porto, serving as a bridge between urban dynamism and the more serene landscapes of the Minho interior. Bougado, particularly in its areas of São Martinho and Santiago, offers a calmer and more welcoming setting, ideal for facilities dedicated to well-being and sports.

Its location in Bougado ensures an atmosphere conducive to physical activity and relaxation, benefiting from the area's tranquility while maintaining accessibility. This environment fosters an experience focused on health and sports, away from the hustle and bustle of large urban centers.

Aquatic and Sports Legacy:

Over time, this sports complex has established itself as a reference point for the region's aquatic community. Its pools have been the stage for notable events, such as the "12 hours swimming in Trofa", which attracted the participation of hundreds of sports enthusiasts, including various clubs and even renowned national and international former Olympic swimmers.

The execution of these large-scale events attests to the quality and capacity of the Health Club Complexo Tropical's aquatic infrastructures. The constant presence of elite athletes highlights the suitability of the space for practicing modalities such as swimming and water polo, demonstrating its role in promoting sports and sportsmanship.

Community and Social Impact:

Beyond its function as a sports center, the Health Club Complexo Tropical has demonstrated strong involvement with the local community. The aquatic events it hosted were not limited to competitive or recreational aspects, also serving as important platforms for social and solidarity initiatives.

Examples include editions of the "12 hours swimming in Trofa" which, over the years, raised funds for noble causes, such as supporting the Santa Casa da Misericórdia da Trofa. This dimension of social responsibility demonstrates the complex's active role in supporting institutions and encouraging community participation through sports, thereby contributing to the collective well-being in Trofa.
