Municipal Swimming Pool & Gymnasium

The recently completed “Complex Desportivo” is at the north of the town – “sandwiched” between Macdonalds and Pingo Doce supermarket, and very handy for the Marina.

It is a comprehensive facility with three different pools as well as first class gymnasium equipment and fully qualified staff.

There are a wide range of swimming and fitness classes and activities, particularly in the evenings. There is a schedule of these on their web site, but day times are usually quiet and very suitable for your own style of exercise.

Note that all of the complex is closed on Sundays and Public Holidays, and only the swimming pool is open during the month of August.

Entry is charged, but as the centre is run by the council, the costs are very reasonable and there are discounted rates for Senior Citizens (over 65’s)

There are also very attractive reduced rates for monthly and annual passes – but note that their year runs from September to September.

Tennis - Rua Vasco da Gama

The local club has courts of a high standard and regularly hosts tournaments up to National Level. Nevertheless, they do allow guests to hire the courts and racquets and balls.
It’s easy to find. From “River” roundabout at the top of the Avenida, turn left and go to “Cámara”, turn right and it is just past the school on your left.

Volleyball - Meia Praia

There are two Beach Volleyball courts marked out and fitted with nets, alongside Bar Linda on the main beach of Meia Praia
Follow the road straight past “Sopromar” and you can’t miss it. A group of our yachtsmen are regular users; personally, I think it should be sponsored by the local Chiropractor!
However, Bar Linda is handy for re-hydration and refreshment after your exertions – and for the internal administration of an anaesthetic!
