Łuków to build new swimming pool for PLN 34M

Łuków approved a PLN 34M project to replace ‘Delfinek’ with the Luków new swimming pool, boosting sports and family amenities.

The town of Łuków has signed a contract to build the Luków new swimming pool, a project worth nearly PLN 34 million. Moreover, officials signed the deal on August 27 at the existing ‘Delfinek’ pool.

Project details and facilities

The municipality contracted TEXOM to design and build the complex. Consequently, the company will start by preparing all technical documentation. In addition, the contract gives TEXOM 950 days to finish the work. The plan includes three swimming basins, a relaxation zone, saunas and a food area. Moreover, the pool will serve children, teenagers, families and athletes. Therefore, the facility aims to combine sports training and public recreation.

Timeline, demolition and construction

Payments will reach nearly PLN 34 million gross. Consequently, the current ‘Delfinek’ will be demolished first. However, TEXOM must secure permits before demolition. In addition, the firm will produce designs under the “design and build” model. Meanwhile, the company already works in Łuków on the train station redevelopment. Therefore, the administration expects coordination between projects.

Luków new swimming pool: what this means for residents

For 31 years local people used the old ‘Delfinek’. As a result, about 1,618,000 visits took place since the pool opened. However, the building no longer meets modern standards. Consequently, the town chose to replace it rather than patch it. Moreover, officials say the new pool will broaden leisure options in the city. Therefore, families and sports clubs should benefit.

Why this matters to expats and newcomers

First, local public services often require a PESEL (national ID number) or registration for some memberships. In addition, public health services work through NFZ (the National Health Fund). Moreover, social security uses ZUS (the state social insurer). Therefore, expats planning to use long-term membership discounts should confirm their eligibility. In addition, municipal programs sometimes offer reduced fees for families and seniors. Consequently, check registration rules before you plan regular visits.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: If you plan to use the new pool often, register early. Many pools and clubs in Poland require a PESEL (national ID number) or proof of residence for discounted membership. Also, pay attention to local rules about payment and fines (a “mandat” means a fine), and to whether the facility offers concessions for families or long-term subscribers.

Finally, the project represents one of the largest local investments in sports and recreation. Consequently, the town expects construction to boost local employment during the build. Moreover, the updated facility will support youth programs and community events. Therefore, newcomers who value active lifestyles should note this improvement.
