Thermal swimming pool CHALMOVÁ

The Chalmová thermal swimming pool is situated 20 km from the Prievidza regional town and 15 km from the town of Partizánske. The hot thermal water has been found in this region since time immemorial. The first visual report is from 1923, when the first wooden indoor pool was built.

The swimming pool is situated in nice, silent surroundings, directly under Drieňový hill of the Strážovská upland. The thermal springs with water temperature from 25°C to 34°C are located on a number of places in the area of the swimming pool. Except springs, also three drill holes are built with depth from 150 to 217 m and water temperature from 31°C to 42°C. All pools of the swimming pool are filled from these sources. Attraction is the two indoor regeneration pools with whole year operation that were built directly on the thermal springs. The warm thermal water wells forth into them directly from the springs on the bottom of the pool. The water temperature in the pools moves between 32 - 34 °C and 37 – 40°C and is being regulated by the water from the drills.

The biggest wealth of the swimming pool is the thermal mineral water that is characterized as a natural, sulphated-hydro-carbonated, calcific-magnesium, hypotonic water with mineralization 900 – 1600 mg/l.
