On Wednesday, new 25-meter pools were opened in 7 districts of Tatarstan at the same time. The Central launch site was the Lagoon pool in Mamadysh. Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in the opening ceremony.
All commissioned swimming pools are built according to the standard project. In addition to a large bath for adults, they are equipped with a small bath for younger and middle-aged children. The capacity of each is 396 people per day.
From Mamadysh was organized a videoconference with the other districts of the Republic, which opened pools at Dolphin in Apastovo, "Pearl" in the Upper Uslon, "aquamarine" in Kamsky Polyany, "Sula" in Pestretsy, Akcharlak - in a Round Box, "Dulkyn" in Tyulyachi.
The online ceremony was attended by the President of the international swimming Federation (FINA) Julio Maglione, who in his address stressed that the Republic has "established a strong Foundation for future Champions".
In turn, Deputy Minister of sports Almaz Mingulov noted that all outdoor pools should become part of the training system of high-class athletes. And the final link in this "chain" is the Academy: "These large objects require the opening of branches of the navigation. Taking into account the fact that children and youth sports schools are already operating in many areas, we will look at and decide on the establishment of departments of existing sports schools and their placement on the basis of swimming pools. The task of these facilities is to raise athletes to a pre – professional level, so that they can then move to the institutions that are in Kazan: this is the school of the Olympic reserve, and the Volga region Academy of sports."
