It was our first visit to Zielona Gora and its pool. We were there on Friday so that we could avoid crowds.
Recreation – Sports Facility is located at Sulechowska Street, at Council of Europe Rondo, about 2km from the new S3 express road. Getting there is so very convenient and there is a large parking lot available.
At the pool are some strange rules, that we will mention in a few words, because you should know before arrival:
- They let in people only in bathing suits adjacent to the body (and therefore not enter in shorts).
- There is a total limit of people enjoying the pool at once (max 500 persons) and on the website they publish live count of how many vacancies left.
- Pricing includes a family ticket option for families with at least three children. Here, however, note that to use this option, you must sign a statement in which we will give the personal data of the family, including sensitive data such as personal identity, telephone number, email. A child must present the child’s birth certificate. I think it is a bit too much to use discount at the pool. We skipped the confession of the personal data and entered on the normal tickets.
At the pool we have several swimming pools, including a lap pool and recreation one. The undoubted attractions are: a water balloon with a diameter of 15m, wild river, climbing wall and slides (onion, half-open salamander, double broad gauge, the longest in Poland slide tube with a length of 210m, and a shorter pipe length 90m).
Attractions such as the longest water slides and water balloon have additional restrictions. In the case of the slide is the age restriction, and to enter water balloon you can not wear jewelry. The balloon is launched in sessions that last for at least 5 minutes. At the same time during the session may participate in fun only 20 people. The balloon is inflatable dome with 4 climbing ropes that can be used to get to the top.
To use the slides you need to climb a glass tower reaching above the surrounding woodland pool. From the top is an amazing view of the surroundings. Sliding is interesting, a lot of corners, effects of the light. In addition to the length of the junction is not substantially different from the slide known from other pools.
The changing rooms in the facility are shared with the proximity clock system. A small note – the locker can snap with the key in the middle. We had that issue. To open locker again we needed to find guardian.
In summary, it is worth to visit Zielona Góra’s swimming pool. The biggest surprise for us was the final fee for use of the pool, which was almost half lower than for the same time spent in Poznan at the Baths of Malta (Termy Maltańskie).
