The mayor of Florida, Carlos Enciso, toured this Thursday the 27th the construction works of the new Florida Aquatic Center, a project that will transform the sports infrastructure of the department.
The community leader visited the facilities of the former municipal swimming pool, where approximately two weeks ago the demolition work on the old structure began. On the tour he was accompanied by architect Jorge Pérez Huelmo, a specialist in sports infrastructure, along with members of the technical team and representatives of the construction company.
During the visit, the authorities reported that the work is already underway, highlighting the beginning of the dismantling and demolition tasks of obsolete sectors. At this stage, the work focuses on the area where the future therapeutic pool will be built.
The new center will imply a substantial change in relation to the existing infrastructure, since it will not be a single pool, but a complex with three different aquatic spaces. The main swimming pool, of a sports nature, will reduce its maximum depth from 3.50 meters to 2 meters, which will allow it to be adapted for the practice of water polo, swimming and other disciplines.
In turn, a social pool will be incorporated, designed for activities such as hydrogymnastics and midwifery, with an approximate depth of 1.30 meters. A therapeutic pool will also be built, an infrastructure that currently does not exist in the department and that is key for physical rehabilitation treatments, especially for knee, spine and hip injuries.
Another relevant aspect of the project is the total renovation of the roof. The current roof will be removed—affected by recent storms—and replaced by a horizontal structure in accordance with current regulations for heated pools, guaranteeing adequate conditions in terms of air volume and thermal efficiency.
Regarding deadlines, it is estimated that the work will take about 10 months to complete, although it could be extended up to a year due to possible delays due to weather conditions or other factors.
The authorities also clarified that all the pools will be located within the same closed and heated space. Likewise, it was confirmed that the rest of the sports area facilities, such as the pavilion and sports plaza, will not be affected by the work and will continue to operate.
In this way, Florida takes an important step towards the modernization of its sports infrastructure, betting on an inclusive space that will contemplate both sports, recreation and health.
