Real Clube Fluvial Portuense

The pool appears to have been upgraded since some of the earlier reviews. There are segregated changing rooms that are clean and bright. The pool is fantastic. There's a 4-lane 50m pool (1.4m deep) and two 25m pools set up as 25m pools, although one is 33-1/3m wide!

I was not offered a lock, but the facility seemed very secure.

Parking on the street can be difficult but there is a supermarket up the hill and you can park there for a fee and it's easy to walk into the pool complex.

I thoroughly enjoyed my swim at this large, bright facility on a Friday afternoon in November. I was given a lock and key to use on a locker of my choice. The locker rooms are single-gender. All three pools were enclosed in a large area, and all had available lanes that were open to the public. I chose the 50m pool, which is adjacent to the 25m pools. Although there were aqua aerobics classes, a kids' swim practice, and people coming and going, I had a lane to myself during the nearly two hours I was in the water. One can borrow kickboards, pull buoys, paddles, and fins from an ample supply. From September, 2018, to June, 2019, the pool is open 7 AM to 10 PM on weekdays, 8 AM to 8 PM on Saturdays, and 9 AM to 1 PM on Sundays.

Excellent pool complex. Excellent water temperature and facilities. A dome over the pools opens during summer. Highly recommended.

The water is a good training temperature, very clean and the lanes/ends are well marked. The changing areas are clean but in need of serious maintenance (roof leaking, toilet seats broken, etc.) There is major building work going on all around the site at the moment, so there may be a complete renovation underway.
