The Municipality of Athens has announced the reopening of the outdoor swimming pool located within the Goudi sports complex, welcoming back athletes, residents, and visitors from Thursday, 8 Jan. 2026.

Athens Mayor Haris Doukas said the pool is returning “safe, fully functional, and accessible to everyone,” noting that coordinated efforts and systematic work have restored public access to a key sports facility.

He stressed that operations will fully comply with all safety regulations and the strictest health protocols. “We continue to invest in infrastructure that is not only functional but also sets quality standards, with a steady commitment to supporting mass participation in sports and promoting athletic education,” Doukas said.
