Termy Poddębice

Termy Poddębice, styled by the operator as the Centrum Wodolecznictwa i Rekreacji, is a geothermal bathing complex at ul. Mickiewicza 19 in Poddębice, in the Łódź region, managed by Geotermia Poddębice Sp. z o.o. The operator states that the thermal water is drawn from a depth of 2101 metres and is 27,000 years old, that its particular merit is a temperature of 72 °C together with an original chemical and microbiological purity, and that it is a bicarbonate-sodium-silica-calcium water, hyperthermal and weakly mineralised. It attributes the silicon compounds in the water with better hydration and cleansing of the skin, and says the temperature improves circulation, relaxes and reduces muscle and joint soreness. Raw thermal water is also used for hydromassage in the treatment offer.

The operator describes the complex as seven outdoor and indoor pools with a combined water surface of about 2300 m², fitted with geysers, massage jets, artificial-wave grottoes and wild rivers, with pool water at 30–38 °C. Three basins run all year: an indoor-outdoor pool of 412 m², 1.2 m deep, at 34–36 °C, with air-massage benches and loungers, narrow and broad neck massages, grottoes with wall hydromassage, artificial-wave grottoes, a wild river, geysers and a water umbrella; an indoor paddling pool of 42 m², 0 to 0.3 m deep, at 34–36 °C, with slides and spouting jets; and a hydromassage tub of 3.6 m² at 36–38 °C. Four more are seasonal: a swimming and recreation pool of 1012 m² at 32–34 °C, with three 50-metre swimming lanes, two 8-metre learner lanes, massage benches, wave grottoes, a rushing river, geysers, a net climbing frame and a gentle entry ramp; two children's paddling pools of 296 m² and 230 m² at 30–34 °C, with slides, a playground and water toys; and a water-walls pool of 259 m², 0.1 to 0.13 m deep, at 30–34 °C.
