The Sports Department of Mijas Town Hall is finalising preparations for the upcoming opening of the La Cala swimming pool. This indoor, heated Olympic-size pool features a 50-metre basin with water temperatures maintained between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius. It also includes stands for around 500 spectators and changing rooms.
The registration opened on Monday 2nd of June for anyone interested in signing up for the various activities on offer. They can do so between 8 and 14 hours at the area’s customer service offices, located at the Regino Hernández Sports Complex in Las Lagunas and at the indoor sports hall in La Cala.
A total of 502 places are available for a variety of activities that will meet the needs and demands of users: swimming for adults, for pregnant women and babies, swimming lessons, backstroke, aquagym, advanced swimming and free swimming. Different days and times are available for each and every one of the activities. The Town Hall is allocating these spots exclusively to new users, so swimmers from Las Lagunas who are already registered at La Cala won’t need to re-register while the work on the Ciudad Deportiva pool in Las Lagunas is underway.
“Since we accepted the pool last March, the Sports Department has been working very hard to get this municipal facility up and running as soon as possible. This will be a reality very soon”, said the councillor for Sports, Mari Francis Alarcón (PP).
Priority
The La Cala swimming pool has involved an investment of 4.6 million euros. According to the Executive, several issues had to be resolved before the Town Hall accepted the facility, “including leaks in the pool, dripping, problems with the windows, and dirt”. In this regard, Alarcón wanted to remind everyone that the opening of the swimming pool “has been a priority for this government team and we are going to ensure that it opens with all the necessary safety and operational guarantees”.
The La Cala swimming pool will start with a staff of 23 workers, including sports instructors and lifeguards, maintenance technicians.
