In Alicante, there are a few public swimming pools. Those are quite good for doing sports, improving your swimming abilities or just going for a swim. Here’s where they are and what each one offers.
IAlicante has three municipal swimming pools managed and funded by the council (but all Alicante beaches are public and free to use). The prices are lower in comparison with privately owned swimming pools. They are located in 3 areas of the city, far from each other.

Schwimmbad in Monte Tossal
The first indoor/outdoor swimming pool is located in Monte Tossal, which translates into Tossal Hill (it is located, obviously, on the top of a hill). Its official name is José Antonio Chicoy, and it is part of a bigger municipal sports centre. There are 2 swimming pools.

Indoor Swimming Pool
The indoor swimming pool has a length of 25 meters, and there are 8 lanes available. The water temperature is controlled, and 2 lines will be reserved for people using flippers. When there are programmed courses, 2 or 3 lines will be closed for the people in the class, while the rest of the swimming pool is open for solo swimmers.
Every now and then, they will organise events and the public can assist and sit on their terraces.

The indoor swimming pool closes in summer to let swimmers use the outdoor swimming pool, gemäß der offiziellen Ankündigung des Rathauses (auf Spanisch).
The indoor swimming pool typically closes in summer (around mid-June) so swimmers can use the outdoor pool instead, and reopens in autumn. Check the official schedule for exact dates each year.
Schwimmbad im Freien
The outdoor swimming pool is 50 meters long, Olympic-sized, and it will open only during the summer. There is enough space to sunbathe on a towel in the terrace area. Inside the complex, there is a small swimming pool with a fountain in the middle. Perfect for children. The water temperature is not controlled, but it is warm in summer.
This swimming pool is great for going by car as there is plenty of free parking space around. Every now and then, a sports event will happen and, for a few hours during the competition, parking will be impossible. It doesn’t often happen, though.
There is also a small swimming pool with a fountain in the middle, perfect for enjoying with the family.
