A Comprehensive Aquatic Space

This aquatic complex was designed to cater to different age groups, offering two distinct water areas. The main pool is 25 meters long and 12.5 meters wide, with a depth that gradually increases from 0.50 meters at the entrance area to 1.95 meters at the deepest end. It features six properly marked lanes.

For younger children, or for those seeking a safer space for initiation and leisure, there is a pool dedicated to babies and children. Measuring 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, its depth is designed for the safety of the little ones, with ledges ranging from 5 to 20 centimeters. Both pools benefit from a heating system that maintains the water and surrounding environment at a comfortable temperature, between 26º and 28º Celsius, ensuring pleasant use throughout the year. Water quality is guaranteed by rigorous control and treatment, which includes regular disinfection of the building and changing rooms, focusing on the hygiene and well-being of users.

Modernity and Energy Efficiency

The Montalegre Municipal Pools underwent significant redevelopment, equipping them with modernized and efficient infrastructure. This intervention focused on energy efficiency gains and environmental sustainability, integrating advanced technologies.

Among the implemented improvements, the introduction of renewable energy systems, such as solar thermal panels and biomass boilers for water heating, stands out. The intervention also included improving the building's thermal insulation, with the replacement of window frames with double-glazed, thermally broken ones, and ceiling insulation. These measures aim to optimize the complex's thermal performance, ensuring the maintenance of a constant indoor temperature while promoting reduced energy consumption and carbon footprint. The result is a facility that combines comfort and functionality with responsible resource management.
