On Friday, July 18, the Torrevieja City Council’s Local Governing Board approved the drafting of a construction project for a heated swimming pool in the Sports City complex in Torrevieja. The pool will measure 25 metres in length by 12.5 metres in width, and will be used for warmup aquatic activities. The base budget for the project, with VAT included, is €87,499. Diana Box Alonso, the Councillor for Sports, reported that the new pool will be located behind the currently Olympic-sized pool in the Sports City. The project needs to ensure direct access between the other facilities in the Sports City complex, including the existing pool, the football fields, and the parking lot. In order to continue to push the eco-friendly infrastructure efforts, the water heating system must also use sustainable energy, and the boiler must be shared between both pools. There may be indoor seating, but not for spectators, only swimmers. In order to integrate the pool, the tender also includes the rearrangement of the existing landscaping. The Torrevieja Sports City continues to be a major hub for recreational sports and leisure activities for the citizens of Torrevieja, and the investments the city has allocated to the complex go to show its importance in the community. In addition to swimming, the complex offers a wide berth of sports facilities, including cycling, pilates, zumba, football, rugby, and a gym for general exercise and weight training activities, in addition to many more events and activities for the community. The Sports City is also a great boost to Torrevieja’s sports tourism. In addition to this major change, the City Council also greenlighted a variety of other projects, including a contract for cleaning and maintaining beach toilets, and a contract for beach services such as sun loungers, umbrellas, and water-based recreational activities.
