The Fabijoniškių base, which had to open in October, closed in December. Business

The words on the pool, which will be open shortly, will not disappear from the spring in Vilnius. According to the plan, the construction of the Fabijoniškių pool, completed last July, was to be completed within nine months and the doors were expected in March-April. Unfortunately, they did not happen. Neither in April, nor in June, nor in October, but in the middle of autumn, the promised swimming pool was another open date.

Interested in politics

This week, members of the Christian Democratic Homeland Union-Lithuania (TS-LKD) party joined the Fabijoniskis Basin and criticized Vilnius leaders. In 2008, the pool of Fabijoniškių was filled with water, with 8 tracks fully prepared for activities. Even the administration has been completed and recruited. In March, Vytautas Kernagis wrote on a social network.

"But on the first floor there is a swimming pool and the second – a gym (which is not enough in all cities) .Because of this gym, on the second floor after the inspection of the competent authorities no permits have been issued for pool activities. "

This is precisely why Dainius Kreivys, member of the Seimas and candidate for the post of Mayor of Vilnius, addressed Mayor Remigijus Šimašius and Director of Administration Povilas Poderskis. According to him, Vilnius would need at least five basins, but could not complete one.

This year?

P.Poderskis, director of administration of the Vilnius Municipality, believes that the opening is near. True, the exact date is not yet available.

"Yes, there is water in the pool.The procedure to add a building is now updated.It is over, and we will know the exact date of opening next Monday. Indeed, there are administrative staff who work there, but they are the same who work in the office of the "City in good health." The new people who will operate the same pool will be selected and will be recruited when needed ", said P. Poderski.

It is likely that the opening will be this year, but it will actually happen, it will become clear in a few days.

8-course pool

The construction of a 25-meter and 8-lane swimming pool on S. Nėries Street cost $ 3.1 million. euro The company Irdaiva and the building code were created in the pool. The swimming pool also has a sauna, a gym, a bench with 100 spectators, a dressing room for 140 visitors, a swimming pool and a swimming pool. ;a parking.

The municipality of Vilnius has already decided to operate the swimming pool operator, the municipality of "Sveika miestas". The operator of the new basin will have to look after not only the maintenance of the structure, but also the training of the athletes, the anti-rotation training program of the capital and the provision of services to the public, for the duration of the 20-year contract.

Admittedly, the Conseil de la concurrence has taken such a decision from the municipality.

The lagoon pool was opened at the end of this year at the end of the capital of the city of Erfurt, but the opening is delayed in the summer of 2019.

The fact that there is no normal swimming pool in Vilnius is extremely annoying for athletes, as well as for the coaches and parents of young swimmers. After the triumph of Rūta Meilutytė at the London Olympics in 2012, it was expected that the sport would be very popular. Finally, there will be new modern pools, but by the end of 2018 there is no longer any place to go in Vilnius.

Among the signatories were some very famous athletes: Olympic champions Laura Asadauskaitė and Lina Kačišytė, Giedrius Titennis, Andrejus Zadneprovskis, Povilas Strazdas and others.
