The future of public swimming pools is discussed in a recent Piscine Oggi interview with Marco Sublimi, an entrepreneur specializing in the management of swimming facilities. This article builds on the insights that emerged in the interview and its purpose is to make some reflections on the future of the industry.
The public pool industry faces three main issues:
- the post-Covid scenario
- the energy cost
- the sports labor reform
The health emergency, indeed, has generated debts among facility managers and severe staff shortages. Also, in a part of the population still persists that discomfort associated with being surrounded by people, in a crowded place.
Furthermore, the energy emergency is leading to significant and exaggerated price increases, which primarily affect particularly energy-consuming facilities, such as aquatic centers.
Sports labor reform is another important issue affecting the public pool sector. Solutions need to be found to staff shortages and adequate training needs to be faced with the support of municipalities, regions and public administration.
What to expect for the swimming pool industry in 2023
Regarding the future of public swimming pools, the sector should focus on innovative and energy-sustainable solutions, such as the use of photovoltaic systems and the construction of pools with low environmental impact materials and technologies. Moreover, the aim should be to offer new services in order to meet the users’ needs, such as the creation of relaxing spaces, the development of wellness and health activities, and the organization of cultural and sports events.
