New wellness space at the emblematic CNAB
Fluidra has developed a new wellness space for the Club Natació Atlètic Barceloneta called SPAI. The Club Natació Atlètic-Barceloneta (CNAB) is a historic club located on the seafront of the Mediterranean in the city of Barcelona (Spain). This club has a large number of members and a top-level men's waterpolo team. In addition, they are backing a high-performance youth academy in lower categories, both for males and females. Its aquatic facilities include an indoor pool of 33 x 25 m for swimming and water polo, and three outdoor pools, one of 20 x 13 m for bathing, another of 25 x 21 m for swimming and a Skypool panel pool of 25 x 20 m at the foot of the beach also made by Fluidra. It should be remembered that Fluidra also carried out the project to adapt the facilities to the pandemic situation by making the first perfect COVID-free pool in Spain and Europe. Inaugurated in 2022, this wellness project was designed by the architect Antoni Altayó and the Fluidra Commercial Pool & Wellness Division. Its 421 m2 include various wellness elements: a vitality pool with multiple aquatic effects, contrast pools, sauna, steam bath, ice fountain, sensation showers and other relaxation areas, ice fountain, sensation showers and other relaxation areas.
