What happened during the closure

The scheduled break began on 17 August and affected only the pool area. The sports hall and the SPA stayed open throughout. Staff emptied all basins and equalisation tanks. Workers cleaned and disinfected these structures thoroughly. They also serviced common areas. The entrance zone, changing rooms and showers received attention. Technicians fixed faults that could not be addressed during normal operations. Some repairs fell under the building warranty and required contractor work.

One of the largest tasks was refilling the basins. The team replaced about one million litres of water. They refilled the pools gradually to avoid structural stress. After filling, staff restarted filtration and heating systems. The sports pool reached 27°C. The recreational basin warmed to 32°C. The pool reopened only after mandatory laboratory water tests returned positive results.

New touches and attractions

The venue refreshed the children’s area and the foyer. A new mural now shows the local mascot, “Kropelka.” Visitors can also use an attraction next to the slide. A timer displays the best time of the day and the time of the last run. This feature encourages playful competition among users. The city noted steady demand for pools. In August all three municipal pools in Katowice recorded more than 65.3 thousand visits combined.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: Municipal pools in Poland close for planned maintenance to protect safety and water quality. If you are new here, note that PESEL is the national identification number, ZUS handles social insurance, and NFZ is the national health insurer. Always check the city or pool operator portal for current opening hours and entry rules before you go.

Why this matters for expats and residents

Short closures hurt routine users. Still, the work prevents bigger failures later. Emptying basins and disinfecting them reduces health risks. It also lets teams inspect hidden installations. For families and athletes, reopening means access to training lanes and leisure facilities again. During the break, residents could visit Burowiec and Brynów pools instead. The city now returns the full offer and invites people to swim, train and relax at Basen Zadole.
