The Community of Madrid kicks off the public swimming pool season this Friday, with facilities remaining open until September 6 while maintaining stable rates and special discounts.

The facilities managed by the regional administration, including Canal de Isabel II, the Mundial 86 Swimming Center, San Vicente de Paúl, and the Puerta de Hierro Sports Park, will operate daily from 11:00 AM to 7:45 PM.
The total capacity across these public venues reaches nearly 5,000 users, with Puerta de Hierro Sports Park offering the largest space for over 2,500 visitors. To facilitate entry and minimize wait times, authorities recommend booking tickets in advance via the DeportesCM mobile app or the official website.
Pricing remains unchanged for the ninth consecutive year, with a general admission fee of five euros. Free access is provided for children under three, victims of terrorism, individuals with disabilities, and Youth Card holders at most locations. Additionally, a 30% discount is available for large families, children, and seniors over 65.
In addition to urban pools, the region has designated four natural bathing areas for the summer season: San Juan Reservoir in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Alberche Beach in Aldea del Fresno, Las Presillas in Rascafría, and Los Villares in Estremera.
