The Local Government Board of Torrevieja Town Hall has approved the project for the construction of a new heated swimming pool in the Sports City. The facility will be situated behind the “Tavi y Carmona” Sports Palace and opposite the Cecilio Gallego Pavilion.
This approval represents a new step forward in executing the sports infrastructure, which carries a tender budget of 5,533,669.03 euro including VAT and an estimated execution timeframe of 18 months.
The Sports Councillor, Diana Box Alonso, reported that the new heated pool will feature a basin measuring 25 metres long by 12.50 metres wide. This space will be suitable for use as a warm-up pool during competitions and for carrying out various aquatic activities.
The building will be split across two levels: one above ground and one below ground level. The ground floor will house the reception area, the main pool basin, three changing rooms, toilets, interior spectator seating, corridors, and exterior seating areas. The basement level will include a service gallery, plant rooms, a compensation tank, a storage area, and a distribution corridor.
The project maintains the overall plan to integrate the new pool with existing facilities within the Torrevieja Sports City complex. The changing area will be organised into three separate units: female, male, and a mixed or family section, with the latter designed to assist those accompanying minors. The changing rooms will come equipped with washbasins, toilets, urinals, showers, lockers, benches, and coat hooks.
In addition to spectator seating, the complex will feature a direct connection to the existing indoor pool located inside the “Tavi y Carmona” Sports Palace to strengthen operational functionality between the facilities.
Outside, the project includes the reorganisation of exterior areas, incorporating new green spaces, parking upgrades, and a dedicated bicycle area. Combined energy systems will allow the pool to operate an independent, highly efficient energy model to lower running costs, reduce grid consumption, and decrease carbon emissions.
