Description

Built in the 30's, this is one of the city's oldest swimming complexes. It contains an open-air swimming pool, open all year round.

There are three pools for adults and students of the special sports school. New pupils are selected here in August - those that get in receive free training. Other children can be enrolled all year round and get a two-month training course for 700R ($25).

The third building is exclusively for children. Highly professional coaches teach kids of different ages (from 3 years old) to swim. A single, hour-long visit costs 50R ($2), or 40R ($1.50) an hour if you have a monthly pass.

The biggest pool is now a dolphinarium. Tickets cost 30-35R ($1.50) and children under 6 go for free.
