New aquacenter is an oasis of relaxation and entertainment in the center of Kyjov
On Monday, September 25, 2023, a modern aquacentre with a slide and sauna world opened in Kyjov. The work took nearly two years and cost about 325 million crowns. This is the largest investment project in the history of the city.
More than forty years. That's how long there has been talk about the possibility of building an indoor swimming facility in Kyjov. The words will turn into reality this afternoon when the new aquacentre opens to the public for the first time.
The heart of the aquacentre is a swimming pool with five lanes and a depth ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 m. It is designed for both fitness swimmers and swimming lessons, or for a swimming team that could be established in Kyjov to expand the city's options for sports and relaxation activities. “For those who prefer a quieter environment, zone 2 is designated. Its centerpiece is a leisure pool with a water temperature of 32˚C and water features such as massage jets, pool waterfalls, and a slide. There is also a whirlpool,” explains Kyjov Mayor František Lukl, adding that there is also a children's paddling pool with attractions available for families with kids.
The service offerings respond to the growing interest in active relaxation and wellness. Therefore, the centre features a generous sauna world occupying the second floor. Visitors will find four saunas and a steam room with a wide range of temperatures and humidity. “The saunas are arranged to create intimate corners. Popular sauna ceremonies will be held here, and massages and a sauna bar will be available. The wellness area also includes a cooling pool and a relaxation room with a starry sky – a star cluster photographed by the Webb telescope, distant 200,000 light years. Visitors are also allowed access to three outdoor terraces,” encourages Kyjov Deputy Mayor Daniel Čmelík to the new facility.
The indoor pool is harmoniously connected to the summer part of the swimming area, allowing visitors to enjoy water fun in any weather. This operational connection brings efficiency, as both parts complement each other, partially sharing common facilities and allowing smooth operation regardless of the season.
The new aquacentre, with a capacity of 220 people, not only brings modern recreational facilities to Kyjov but also serves as an attraction for visitors from the surrounding area. The catchment area within a 30-minute drive includes around 150,000 residents. The entire building is designed to be barrier-free. The construction work and preparations that preceded it took approximately five years.
To ensure that the internal layout and technological background are maximally functional, Radek Steinhaizl, a recognized expert in the operation of water centers, assisted in planning the aquacentre as a consultant. Emphasis was placed on energy-efficient innovations. “The installation of solar panels for photovoltaic energy and the recovery of heat from wastewater demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and reducing the ecological footprint. In this way, the aquacentre becomes not only a place of entertainment but also an example of the use of modern technologies in daily operations. With diverse pools, adrenaline experiences, a sauna world, and a focus on innovative technologies, this project is undoubtedly a fitting addition to the city's infrastructure,” praises Steinhaizl.
The water park also has the potential to develop in the future and offer customers new services and attractions, such as an outdoor splash pool, an outdoor ceremonial sauna, an outdoor whirlpool for saunas, etc.
