DUO bottom and bottom with valve in swimming pool de braak in helmond (Netherlands)

Variable water depth: movable DUO bottom and a bottom with valve

Optisport Zwembad De Braak in Helmond is a versatile swimming complex with several modern pools: a competition pool, an instruction pool and a baby and toddler pool. The pool caters to a wide audience-from young families and recreational swimmers to athletes and visitors working on recovery or rehabilitation. The client was looking for a solution that would make the various pools optimally usable for changing programmes, without compromising on safety and accessibility.

Variopool realises moveable pool floors for maximum flexibility

Variopool supplied and installed at De Braak several solutions with moveable pool floors to easily control variable water depth. The competition pool is 25 metres long and has six lanes, with a partially moveable floor for extra flexibility in use. The instruction pool has the same dimensions as the competition pool, but is fully equipped with a moveable floor. This allows the pool to switch quickly between swimming lessons, instruction, training and recreational use.

Within this project, Variopool applied the following solutions:

DUO floor: 25 x 15.4 metres, including ramp
Movable pool floor with a valve (as a safety measure): 10 x 15.4 metres

The moveable floor with flap supports safe bath arrangement and prevents unwanted situations during use. Combined with the DUO floor, it creates a future-proof solution that enhances planning, usability and user comfort.

Safe and accessible for all target groups

The complex is designed for accessibility and safe use. Special stairs and a hoist allow visitors to enter and exit the water independently and responsibly. During recreational swimming, play elements add to the experience, while the moveable pool floors enable the right water depth for different ages, levels and programmes.

Also a pool that quickly switches between competition programmes, instruction and recreation?
