Aquapark Kuřim
The town of Kuřim lies in the Brno-Country District, in the South Moravian Region. It is an important transport hub from which roads branch out in the direction of Brno, Tišnov, and Svitavy. In addition to housing major manufacturing plants that employ a large number of people from the wide surroundings, an aquapark was also built here, for which visitors also like to head to the town.
The idea to build an aquapark was toyed with by Kuřim's representatives as early as the beginning of the 1970s. It was meant to be a place where not only competitive and training swimming would take place, but it could also serve the public and the movement activities of local schools. Plans began to be implemented in 1972, and in 1977 the swimming pool opened to the public. After 35 years of continuous operation, the town management decided on a complete reconstruction, and therefore the pool was closed and work on its modernization began in 2009. A year later, the completely renovated Aquapark Kuřim already opened its gates.
Visitors can enjoy not only water fun in several indoor pools, on the water slide, or in the saunas. The recreational adventure pool offers a wild river, counter-current, water mushroom, and massage grates. Its maximum depth is 1.2 meters and the water temperature hovers around 30 degrees. Its indoor part is connected with the outdoor pool, where the finish of the water slide is located.
And it is this red, 75-meter-long water slide that is one of the most attractive features of Aquapark Kuřim. It includes a traffic light and a timekeeping system with a record memory. During the ride, lighting strips and various flashing light points alternate.
Not only for fitness swimmers, a 25-meter-long swimming pool is available. It also features a lowering mechanism for visitors with reduced mobility. Morning swimming, which takes place here on selected days in the morning, is popular. So are swimming lessons, which are available throughout the year. Visitors only need to inquire about the current schedule. There are 4 separate lanes in the pool.
For swimming lessons, the school pool is ideal. Its bottom is movable and the depth is adjustable. The pool with a length of 10 meters and a width of 6 meters can be adjusted from a minimum depth of 0.1 meters up to 1.25 meters. It is therefore used mainly for swimming lessons with young children. Part of the school pool includes 2 water spouts, which a lifeguard will start upon request.
For perfect relaxation, a whirlpool bath for 8 people and 2 steam rooms, each with a different aroma, are also part of the water park. And of course, the youngest swimmers were thought of as well. A paddling pool with a slide and water toys are prepared for them. Near the entrance hall, a space for parents with children is prepared, where changing tables can be found, along with a space where visitors can park their strollers. There is also a playroom for children, a microwave oven, and a computer with internet access. In Aquapark Kuřim, visitors can also make use of two heated benches and artificial rattan loungers. And when thirst strikes, visitors can visit the "wet" bar.
During the summer months, visitors can make use of the outdoor swimming pool, which is a separate part of the water park. A 50-meter pool, a family slide, and a children's paddling pool are prepared. On one of the two courts, visitors can play beach volleyball, jump on a trampoline, or beat friends at table tennis. Refreshments are provided by stalls and a restaurant with a summer terrace.
In short, Aquapark Kuřim is a place that is vibrant throughout the year. Therefore, visitors should definitely not miss it during their visit to Kuřim.
