Piscinas Municipais Cobertas de Gouveia

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Notes

There is also a 25m, 6 lane, outdoor, seasonal municipal pool about 125m to the north of the indoor pool. It's called the Piscinas Municipais Decobertas and has a web page HERE.
The indoor pool is open from 9 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Friday and closed in July and August, when the outdoor pool is open.

Facility Reviews

There are two pools here, the large one is kept at 27ºC, which is just warm enough for me, and a smaller one kept at a toasty 30ºC (86ºF), which is used mostly for aqua gym, etc. When we were there, we were the only people in the 25m pool. The floors in the changing rooms are very slippery. The pool is inexpensive, clean, bright, and has a view of the Serra Mountains.

The facility is a bit difficult to find - there are lots of signs to the pool, but once you're there, it's not clear that you've found it! So, it is the blue building slightly above street level opposite the plainly visible outdoor pool.

For a one-month or 12-session card, you'll need all the usual paperwork, NIF, etc., as with everything in Portugal. It's a pity the pool is closed all weekend! Some French was spoken at reception, English by the friendly lifeguards.
