The indoor swimming pool has historically played a central role in social life, and reopening it could not only encourage sporting activities, but also strengthen a sense of community.
The timeline for completion of the renovations is scheduled for the end of 2024, assuming everything goes according to plan. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how construction prices and the general economic situation will develop by then. Given the unexpected challenges that construction projects have faced in recent months, there is hope that the completion date can be met despite all the uncertainties.
