Shallow tidal pool for static apnea and calm-water practice.
Shallow tidal pool for static apnea and calm-water practice.
A tidal saltwater pool within the Jardín del Mar complex, shaped like a kidney with a shallow and a deeper end. It is ocean-fed and used for static apnea practice, making it a calm-water option for breath-hold sessions and easy swim time. Because it is connected to the sea, small marine life may occasionally enter, though the pool is generally kept very clean. Municipal works improved the access and facilities, and the site is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
