A ten-year partnership
The collaboration between Sabadell Swimming Club and AstralPool, leaders in the
world of swimming and pools respectively, goes back to over a decade ago. In the
last few years, the facilities at Sabadell Swimming Club have been chosen by
AstralPool to install and try out the latest advances and innovations in the world of
the swimming pool.
Last year, the club opened Can Llong, a new set of water sports facilities that include
a new outdoor Olympic swimming pool with a movable bottom and bulkhead
designed by the Fluidra group through its AstralPool brand name. This building
development forms part of the CARPE project, which the club put in place with the
