Myrtha Pools in charge of the refurbishment
Within the Center, Myrtha Pools was in charge of the refurbishment of the main indoor pool (50x25x2.10-2.30m), the same where indeed Cesar Cielo Filho broke the 50m freestyle world record in 2009.
The pool, built in 1980, was definitely obsolete and needed a complete refurbishment. Thanks to its RenovAction technology, Myrtha Pools totally renovated the pool and equipped it with competition accessories, such as removable headwalls and Myrtha Track Start starting blocks.
Benefits of a new filtration system
In addition to the refurbishment of the structure, Myrtha Pools replaced the 30-year-old pool filtration system. The new system, if compared to the previous one, allows to save the 80% of water, that means a daily saving of 10.000 liters of water!
