About the swimming complex
About the swimming complex

Our town has a modern extensive swimming pool complex including both an in-door and out-door 50 metre pool and a brand new in-door gym.

  • An in-door 50 metre pool is 2,2 metres deep with 10 lanes.
  • An out-door 50 metre pool is 2,1 metres deep with 8 lanes.
  • An in-door 25 x 33 metre pool is 2,2 metres deep for warm-up and water polo.
  • Thermal water/medicinal pools.

It is very frequently used for national and international competitions for both swimming and water polo.

It offers the ideal environment for swimmers and players to come with their trainers to develop their skills whilst taking in the advantages our town and swimming complex have to offer. Gyurta Daniel, Olympic Champion and Kapas Boglarka European Champion, Milák Kristóf World Champion and many others train here in our state of the art swimming complex.

There is also an all-weather running track and out-door gym next to the complex.

My name is Alan Morton. I am originally from Shankill Co. Dublin Ireland.

I am originally from Shankill Co. Dublin Ireland.

I have been living and working in Hódmezővásárhely since 1994, so I speak Hungarian fluently.
I am primarily an English teacher, but today I organize swimming training camps not only for European but also for Asian clubs and national teams. We had a number of swimmers from Ireland, Japan, Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Republic of Korea, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia  and Iceland. To date, all our former clubs have returned to new camp(s).
