Published on June 03, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Colmenar Viejo Summer Municipal Pool will begin its season on June 12, offering residents a place to cool off and exercise without leaving the municipality. This facility is presented as an accessible option for leisure and health during the warm months, avoiding long trips and high costs. A practical alternative for those seeking outdoor activities.

Outdoor municipal pool in Colmenar Viejo during a sunny June morning, bathers entering the water from the pool edge, water jets falling from slides while children splash, umbrellas and sun loungers lined up on the surrounding grass, lifeguard signage on an elevated tower, photorealistic, bright natural lighting, reflections on the water surface, vibrant summer atmosphere, visible technical filtration infrastructure in the adjacent machine room

Purification system and capacity control 🏊

The facility features a recirculation filtration system with variable speed pumps and automatic chlorine and pH dosing, ensuring water quality within sanitary parameters. The main pool has a capacity of 450 cubic meters, and the non-slip flooring in the beach area has been renovated. Access control is managed by electronic turnstiles that record capacity in real time, with a limit of 800 users to prevent overcrowding.

The dip that doesn't require a mortgage 😅

Finally, Colmenar Viejo residents can take a swim without having to sell a kidney to pay for gas to the beach. Of course, you'll have to get up early to grab a sun lounger, because shade is scarce and competition is fierce. But hey, if you survive the battle for a towel on the grass, you'll have chlorinated water and a lifeguard who whistles at you if you start acting foolish. Quite a luxury.
