Dagály Termálfürdő, Strandfürdő és Uszoda

Dagály Termálfürdő, Strandfürdő és Uszoda is a thermal and beach bath with a swimming complex in Budapest, Hungary. It forms part of the National Swimming and Water Polo Olympic Centre and is a certified medicinal spa. The site was established in 1948 and was renovated in 2017-2018.

The water

The thermal water is drawn from the "B-14" well, which was drilled in 1944 to a depth of 125.9 metres. The site describes it as a medium-mineralised, calcium-magnesium-hydrogen-carbonate type, hard, fluoridated thermal water with a notable sulfide and silicic acid content. Its stated effects include vasodilating, antispasmodic, connective-tissue and muscle-relaxing, and pain-relieving actions. The water is recommended for gastric and bowel complaints, hyperacidity, kidney inflammation, and the prevention of kidney stones.
