The Nicosia municipal swimming pool will reopen for the 2026 summer season, starting next Monday. The local municipality has announced a new pricing structure aimed at making the facility more accessible to various community groups, including families, students, and individuals with disabilities.
Nicosia municipal: Accessible Pricing for Everyone
The new fee structure has been carefully designed to support families, students, large families, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable social groups during the four-month summer period. Children under the age of five, organised social service groups, and up to ten Eldyk soldiers will be granted free entry, ensuring that these groups can enjoy the facility without financial burden.
Parking and Admission Fees
In addition to free entry for certain groups, the Nicosia municipality has also introduced free parking for all visitors throughout the swimming season. The daily admission fee is set at €5 for pupils, students, and soldiers. Individual visitors will be charged €6 for a daily ticket, while a seasonal pass will cost €85. Special family packages have been developed to make it easier for families to access the pool.
Family Packages and Discounts
Couples can purchase a seasonal pass for €140, while those with one child will pay €160. Families with two children can visit for €20 daily or opt for a seasonal pass at €160. For families with three children, the daily fee is €25, with a seasonal pass available for €170. The municipality is keen to provide support for large families and those in need by offering substantial discounts.
Additional Concessions for Large Families and Individuals with Disabilities
Families with four or five children are eligible for a 50 per cent reduction on seasonal passes, provided they present the necessary certificates. For families with six or more children, entry will be free of charge, allowing these families to enjoy the pool without additional expenses. Holders of a disability booklet issued by the labour ministry will benefit from a seasonal pass priced at €42.50, making it more affordable for individuals with disabilities to join in the summer fun.
Companion Discounts and Single-Parent Family Support
Furthermore, the municipality has implemented discounts for companions accompanying individuals with a disability of 70 per cent or more, who will receive a 50 per cent discount. Single-parent families will also be supported through a 10 per cent discount on seasonal passes, contingent on the presentation of the required documentation.
Group Activities and Facilities
Organised groups, such as birthday parties and summer schools, can enjoy access to the pool for just €3 per person on weekdays. This initiative is part of the municipality’s efforts to promote community engagement and ensure that the swimming pool is a hub for social interaction and recreation during the summer months. Additionally, visitors will have access to sunbeds for €2 each, enhancing their experience at the pool.
Community Engagement and Health Benefits
The reopening of the Nicosia municipal swimming pool is not just about providing a recreational facility; it is also an opportunity to promote health and well-being among residents. Swimming is a low-impact exercise that benefits individuals of all ages and abilities, making it an ideal activity for families looking to stay active during the warmer months.
Looking Forward to a Successful Season
As the summer season approaches, the Nicosia municipality is optimistic about the positive impact the swimming pool will have on the community. With its new pricing structure and focus on accessibility, the pool is expected to attract a diverse range of visitors. The municipality is committed to ensuring that everyone can enjoy the benefits of swimming, fostering a sense of community and togetherness among residents.
With the reopening just around the corner, families and individuals alike are encouraged to take advantage of the new offerings. The Nicosia municipal swimming pool aims to be a welcoming space for all, where everyone can create lasting memories while enjoying the summer sun.
