The Linares Municipal Indoor Pool, managed by Linaqua, has brought the 2025-2026 season to a close. During its final week, a series of recreational aquatic activities were organized for users of all ages, from children to seniors, reinforcing the venue's role as a hub for health, sports, and community.
As recognition for their effort and progress throughout the course, younger participants received medals and diplomas at the season's end.
The annual review for the 2025/2026 season shows significant engagement, with over 700 individuals participating in activities led by Linaqua's instructors. Of these, 297 children were part of swimming lessons and improvement courses, highlighting the facility's commitment to early aquatic education.
The focus on children also included parent-and-baby swimming classes, attended by 30 infants under three years old with their families, fostering psychomotor development and bonding in the water. Furthermore, the pool collaborated with schools, allowing one institution to integrate part of its weekly educational curriculum at the facilities.
In terms of inclusion, the pool hosted a specific program for 5 participants with intellectual disabilities from a high school, alongside welcoming students for vocational training internships. For adults, 419 users engaged in directed activities such as swimming, aquafitness, aquagym, and specific health improvement programs.
The center also played a crucial social and therapeutic role. The Aquasalus program, supported by the Linares City Council, served 155 seniors, promoting healthy lifestyle habits through water exercise. Collaborations were also established with the El Piélago Occupational Center (8 users with intellectual disabilities) and various local associations like Afixa (fibromyalgia), Ainper and Epna (intellectual disability), and Corazones Rosas (breast cancer), for whom tailored activities were designed.
Beyond directed activities, the pool saw 300 users participating in open swim sessions, demonstrating its broad appeal as a venue for sports practice and general well-being in Linares.
With these figures, Linaqua reaffirms its dedication to promoting healthy habits, social inclusion, and universal access to sports for all residents of Linares.
