Termálne kúpalisko Veronika Rajec

Termálne kúpalisko Veronika is an outdoor summer swimming complex in Rajec, Slovakia, set on grounds of about 55,000 m² with roughly 2,200 m² of water surface and around 1,000 free parking spaces.

Thermal water and source

All water in the pools comes from a borehole drilled in 1973 to a depth of 1,308 metres, with a capacity of 20 litres per second and a natural water temperature of about 27 °C. The operators note that, depending on the weather, the water fluctuates roughly between 25 °C and 30 °C. Only this borehole water is used (no tap water), it is kept fresh by a continuous flow-through system, is treated only with chlorine, and has a pH considered gentle on the skin. Legally the facility is classified as thermal, though the management openly describes it as a summer pool, since 27 °C is not generally regarded as a true thermal temperature.
