Flexible swimming pools - It is profitable?

Today’s swimming pools have a whole new range of uses. Swimming is the recreational activity that attracts most people in all age groups. For the very youngest there is Baby Swim, toddlers enjoy Splash & Play and pre-school kids take learn-to-swim classes. Fitness enthusiasts rub shoulders with pensioners. Space also has to be found for aquatic sports enthusiasts such as high-divers, competitive swimmers, underwater divers, waterpolo players
and synchronised swimmers.

Aquatic rehab training is an excellent alternative for many disabled people. Many groups’ needs must be catered to. Building a public swimming pool is a costly investment for any municipality. In addition to the construction costs, there are sizeable running, overhead and maintenance costs to consider. But providing visitors with sound, healthy recreational activities can also be a wise investment. Swimming pools are often the municipality’s most frequently visited sports facilities.

By installing one or several movable floors, one swimming pool can accommodate a wide range of activities. Making the swimming pool accessible to more people, extending the opening hours and offering more fitness/wellness activities will boost the number of visitors and thereby also the revenues. A movable floor generates increased revenues from Day 1 and quickly pays for itself. In our view, that’s a sound investment.

We manufacture two different models: Classic and Advanced. But one thing all Malmsten’s movable floors have in common is that they are made of beams in stainless acid-proof steel. These are covered in non-slip PVC boards. The floor is raised and lowered using screw jacks placed in slits inside the pool walls. In the Classic model, the screw jacks are in turn connected to motors via a system of shafts and gears placed in the pool’s overflow gutters. In the Advanced model, each screw jack has its own motor.
