Over 2,2 thousand seniors in the capital have already taken advantage of the opportunity to visit Vilnius swimming pools for free on the last Sunday of the month. Continuing the initiative, the schedule for such summer Sundays is being announced.
"An active lifestyle is necessary for everyone, regardless of their age or social status. We aim to ensure a wide range of activities for the capital's seniors for their meaningful leisure time. I believe that the opportunity to visit the capital's modern swimming pools for free will not only help Vilnius' seniors improve their health, but will also contribute to promoting community spirit among the elderly," says the Mayor of Vilnius Valdas Benkunskas.
Free visits for seniors are offered on the last Sunday of each month at two “Active Vilnius" in swimming pools and sports clubs managed by Fabijoniškii and Lazdyni, using all the services provided in them, including group training.
On the last Sunday of every month, free exercise will be available at the Lazdynai swimming pool and sports club (Erfurto g. 13) from 9 a.m. to 16 p.m., and at the Fabijoniškės swimming pool and sports club (Vėtrungių g. 45A) from 14 p.m. to 21 p.m. (until 20 p.m. during the summer).
In the coming half a year, free visits to swimming pools for seniors are offered on May 25, June 29, July 27, August 31, September 28 and October 26.
IMPORTANT. During the summer, due to preventive cleaning work, the opening hours of the pools may change slightly. Please follow the information on the websites and social media accounts of Fabijoniškės and Lazdynai pools.
Upon arrival for sports, seniors will need to show their ID at the reception, pre-registration is not available. You also need to have sports-appropriate clothing, sports shoes, a towel and a swimming cap with you if you plan to swim in the pool.
