Pori Centre Public Swimming Pool, Indoor swimming pool in Kuninkaanhaka district, Pori, Finland.
Pori Centre is an indoor swimming facility featuring a 50-meter Olympic pool with eight lanes, diving platforms, a children's pool, and both warm and cold pools. The complex also includes a multipurpose training area designed for various water sports and swimming activities.
The decision to build this facility came during Pori's 450th anniversary celebrations in 2008, with the pool opening in September 2011. The project marked part of the town's modernization efforts in the early 21st century.
The pool serves as a gathering place where residents of all ages come to swim, train, and compete throughout the year. It functions as part of the town's social fabric, offering activities that bring the community together.
The facility operates on different schedules throughout the week, with extended hours on certain days. Visitors should check opening times in advance, as they may vary by season or special events.
Solar collectors integrated into the copper facade and roof generate part of the facility's energy supply. This made it the first swimming hall in Finland to use solar panels as a primary energy source.
