The municipal swimming pool located in the Portugal Building, in the heart of Bairro Novo, opens on April 27, at 10:30 a.m.

It should be remembered that in May 2024, the mayor of Figueira da Foz, Pedro Santana Lopes, granted the public deed formalizing the acquisition of the fraction corresponding to Health Club Portugal. The facility, intended to function as a municipal swimming pool for the urban area, was acquired for €465,000, which includes all the equipment.

Pedro Santana Lopes said at the time that the municipality would proceed with the renovation of the space for swimming and related sports. The mayor pointed out that the existing pool, “although not Olympic-sized, is a magnificent facility,” located in a “neighborhood that needs more life and that this investment can serve that purpose.”

“People living in the center of the municipality will now be able to come here and use these beautiful facilities,” said the mayor, emphasizing that “the space belongs to the municipality” and that it will not seek to compete with similar spaces.

For Pedro Santana Lopes, the purpose of the investment is to provide elderly people and young people in the urban area with “a closer space” where they can swim and enjoy other water activities.
