Water is an element close to humans, and, as you know, swimming is good for physical and emotional health. It is the gentle touch of the waves that instills confidence in one's strength in a person, and frees from painful tension. If it is not possible to go to the sea, the pool is the place where everyone is welcome to swim year-round.
Pools are different in distance. The water temperature in them is kept constant and comfortable enough for a long stay. Most often there are gated pools in free-standing buildings. But there is also a rarer view, which is equipped in the open air. So in Ufa, the Yunost outdoor pool was built not so long ago, but has already established itself as the best place for a family vacation.
On the banks of the Belaya River
The city of Ufa, the capital of Bashkiria, is famous not only for its industry, but also for historical sites and architectural monuments. Arriving here for just a few days, you can walk through the streets of the city to explore local attractions. And one of them is the Yunost swimming pool in Ufa, the first in Bashkiria. It works all year round and is open to all who wish to plunge into the purest water purified using the most advanced filtration system.
Instead of chlorine, ultraviolet radiation is used. This is a relatively new method of water purification, and is appreciated for its high efficiency and safety for humans.
The pool is located on the banks of the Belaya River, so it seems that it is part of a natural reservoir. So harmoniously they complement each other.
Occupation for extreme people and not only
Bashkiria is not the southernmost and warmest region. Here frosts can reach -45 ° , strong winds blow and a lot of snow falls. But despite this, the water in the pool is always around 30 ° C.
In winter, at low temperatures, such water procedures can seem like a very extreme activity. Nevertheless, almost everyone who comes to the open-air pool does not feel discomfort. Even small children come here in summer and winter, not paying attention to the weather overboard.
At the entrance to the pool there is a small vestibule, so that temperature changes are not felt even in severe frost. But if you still managed to freeze, you can go in to warm up in the sauna and again dive into the open-air pool to get complete relaxation.
You can complement your pleasant stay in the sauna with a cup of aromatic herbal tea, pre-ordering it in a phytobar. It offers a choice of more than 40 types of tea.
Swimming groups and club cards
With its affordable prices, the Youth Pool in Ufa is attracting more and more people. For 45 minutes in the water you have to pay 300 rubles for an adult and 250 for a child. By subscription, comfortable swimming will cost even more profitably.
Such classes are good for those who have problems with the spine and to whom they are recommended by a doctor. There are groups for adults and children. Here they teach different swimming styles, proper breathing, turns and diving techniques without breathing apparatus.
Classes in the group will cost just 160 rubles in 45 minutes and begin as they are equipped. Individual training for one or two people is also welcome.
Mandatory document when visiting the pool - a medical certificate, which can be obtained here, after examination in a medical office. For daily free access to the pool and sauna, club cards are provided.
Ufa team "Youth"
The layout of the pool is carefully thought out: showers, changing rooms, mirrors and hair dryers, a convenient exit through the vestibule. The large, spacious pool bowl on the banks of the Belaya River is divided into 6 paths, where you can conduct classes with children and adults or just swim.
The Ufa team "Youth" conducts training here, which performs at various competitions in water sports and not only in Russia but also abroad.
In addition to the pool, the Yunost sports complex includes a skating rink. According to the club card of the pool, you can also visit it for free in winter.
Additional services
There are other equally attractive services in the pool. For example, after a sauna, you can entrust your body to an experienced massage therapist who will hold a massage using vacuum cans or bamboo sticks. Or go to the spa, where you can get fabulous pleasure sitting in a cedar barrel with Altai herbs. And men are interested in a Thai massage.
The phytobar is always open here, where you can sit over a cup of aromatic coffee or try an oxygen cocktail. In any case, risking a visit to the Yunost pool in Ufa even in severe frost, you will become a constant fan of it for many years.
