Aglantzia municipal swimming pool remains closed two years after safety shutdown

The Aglantzia municipal swimming pool has remained out of operation since November 20, 2024, when it was closed due to severe health and safety risks. Despite promises of renovation and financial support from the Cyprus Sports Organisation (KOA) throughout 2025, the facility is still shuttered more than two years after the initial shutdown.

At the time of closure, inspections revealed critical hazards, including a leaking LPG system posing an explosion risk, corroded electrical panels, exposed wiring near the pool area, and malfunctioning water circulation and chlorination systems. Nicosia Mayor Charalambos Prountzos stated that the site’s condition made continued operations unsafe, noting that authorities had attempted to keep the facility open as long as possible due to a lack of alternatives for local athletes and the Aglantzia Nautical Club. While the municipality previously engaged with the KOA to secure funding for necessary upgrades and energy efficiency improvements, the facility has yet to reopen to the public, leaving users without access to the site.
