Since January, the municipal swimming pool in via Valsorda in Gualdo Tadino has been back in business under new management. The Municipality of Gualdo Tadino has set up a really interesting redevelopment project, all focused on sustainability and designed to keep swimming activities alive. The Wellness Factory ssd arl, already known in Gubbio for its “Kineo Fitness & Wellness Palestra della Salute Rijenera”, has taken on board the new “Kineo Piscina Gualdo Tadino”.
It is a step forward on the path towards the well-being of health gyms, without forgetting the importance of swimming. The structure reopened its doors in January and is already super organized. It has a 25-meter regulation swimming pool and a smaller one dedicated to children. The changing rooms have been rearranged and equipped with new equipment to ensure maximum comfort. There will also be spaces that will be used for other activities, under renovation, and soon available. And let’s not forget the outdoor area with parking, immersed in the beautiful valleys surrounding Gualdo Tadino: a truly breathtaking view!
A team of experts is ready to welcome everyone, from the youngest to adults, with plenty of activities and services designed for everyone. At the head of everything is Ketty Kostadinova, the creator of the format, which involved professionals such as Adalberto Angeletti, external consultant for the swimming school; Maurizio Frasconi, who manages the Rijenera courses; the Marche Team, responsible for fitness planning and events; Debora Tedesco, technical director of the Wellness Factory; and Marco Marsili, coordinator of Walking-Cycling Swimming.
There are so many new features! The offer has expanded both in hours and activities. Let’s start with the classic swimming courses: the swimming school for children, which already has 140 members, offers patents recognized by the F.I.N., from the first to the fifth level, preparing even the most talented for pre-competition and competition. Then there are the courses for adults, individual courses with personal trainers available, advanced swimming for those who aim for competition, and let’s not forget the introductory courses to water polo held by the former water polo player Fausto Cherubini. There are also courses dedicated to babies from 3 to 6 months and special sessions in the water for mothers during and after pregnancy with qualified instructors. And of course there is no shortage of free swimming. The pool is also open for local sports associations, which can use it for many activities such as advanced swimming, synchronized swimming, triathlon, water goal and water polo. And it doesn’t end there. There are also opportunities to organize Master and Lifesaving courses.
A really interesting novelty are the fitness and Rijenera courses in the water, where you can participate in eighteen different lessons of Aqua-fitness, Acquamind and Hydrokinesis. These courses are part of the Rijenera project and offer a variety of specialties for your psycho-physical well-being. For example, there is the ABC Water Body Condition, a high-water activity designed to improve physical strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination with targeted exercises. If you prefer something softer, there are water aerobics courses perfect for gentle water gymnastics that aims at relaxation and muscle control. And if you are already an expert in this type of training, no problem. You will also find more energetic courses such as Idrobike, Vortex 3.2 and Jumping-bar. In addition, a Rijenera room will be available that will further enrich the offer with specific health activities to be integrated with water training.
In short, a place of meeting and fun where city sport is enhanced by giving space to both novelties and traditions of swimming and all designed with respect for the environment and people’s well-being!
