Outdoor swimming pool "Dolphin" in Taganrog
The Dolphin outdoor pool, which had opened its doors for training back in 1985, was in such a deplorable state before reconstruction that they wanted to demolish it. Now it meets all modern standards, regional open championships and competitions are held here.
The pool has eight lanes and the water temperature is 29–39 degrees. It is very popular with ordinary visitors. The temperature of the water in the open is slightly warmer than usual, which allows you to swim in the open air even in winter, and due to the fact that fog rises from the water, and the temperature above the water becomes more than on the street. The open-air pool is quite deep (2.4 m), and therefore it is not recommended to visit it with children.
