I'm just talking about the pool. He's great! It takes only 7-8 minutes to walk from the metro. The distance from Chelyuskintsev Park and the Academy of Sciences is almost the same.
The Water Sports Palace is large, clean with spacious changing rooms and showers. After the 25-meter shorties, it is very spacious here. I went to the ICE on weekdays before lunch. There are a lot of people, 4-5 people on the track. Of the 8, 5 tracks were always free. But in the evening and on weekends, there are even more "floaters". By the way, there are no benefits for pensioners on weekends and before 10:00 on weekdays.
The time range of the visit is also very pleasing - as much as 100 minutes! You can swim, sit in the steam room, and take a shower.
There is a small paddling pool for kids. The water is warmer there, +30°.
During the aqua aerobics hours for women, all their showers are fully occupied. Men don't have such problems. Keep this in mind when planning your visits.
There is a cafe right at the exit from the pool. There you can immediately replenish the calories you have spent by eating fresh pastries with coffee. Or use an oxygen cocktail for amateurs.
Here, at the entrance, there is a brand store "Mad Wave" with a variety of attributes for water sports. The range is wide, as are the prices.
In general, it is a good place for recreation and sports 👍🏻
The child has been walking for the second year, he is very happy. Nikita Andreevich Lekarev, a wonderful coach, always greets with a smile and the child runs to classes with pleasure. The pools themselves (and we go both to the jump and with tracks) are always praised. It is also convenient for parents: you can wait for the child in the lobby, where there is a mini-cafe and a specialized store, or you can just go for a swim yourself. The staff is always polite.
The only disadvantage is Parking: it is paid, but it's not the price, but the fact that the asphalt, both at the entrance to it and in the parking lot itself, is not in very good condition.
But in general, thank you very much.
The pool is excellent, the conditions are good. It is very convenient for parents if they drive small children. There is a free service of a parent on duty, when a parent can go with a child to the locker room to help change clothes and take a shower. According to this service, you are given 30 minutes before training and 30 minutes after training to get dressed, dry off, and get ready. It's very convenient! The only small disadvantage is weak hair dryers. It is advisable to have your own powerful one, there are separate sockets. Otherwise, I liked everything. I recommend.
Excellent complex, excellent staff. There is a good diving pool, towers and trampolines, there is a dry gym for acrobatics and preparation for diving jumpers. The locker rooms may look a little tired, but they are generally normal. I don't know about clean swimming, but there is a good infrastructure and wonderful coaches for diving
The pool is clean, large, 50 m, with a depth difference. With children who are not too confident in swimming, however, it may not be very comfortable because of this. But there is a frog house for such people. There are sooo many people in the sauna and only two shelves. Well, you can go in and stand by the door. The shower room should be cleaned of lime stone, but it seems to be clean. The women's locker room is spacious, with good hair dryers. The keys to the cabinets are on a convenient rubberized bracelet, which is not even felt in the water (I saw it for the first time, I don't often visit swimming pools). In general, swimming is normal 🤗
My son goes to the swimming section. In the summer we often went to the aquazone.
Everything is fine.
Very friendly women work in the buffet and it is always delicious! However, you need to have time to buy, because children buy up everything very quickly)
A large range of services: a swimming pool, a sauna, a gym, a summer recreation area, and much more. Parking is paid, but at an adequate price. One of the disadvantages is a lot of people, but this is expected when located in the city center
On the sixth of July, my little grandson and I decided to visit the indoor pool and have fun. When we bought the tickets, the cashier said that there was a separate locker room for the children. My grandson is five years old, he came with me to such a large pool for the first time in his life. We went to the children's locker room, there were no keys in the lockers. Moreover, I did not understand how I could send a child alone to the shower, where he had never been and did not really know anything and where he would go later, too, there was no one there, I could not change clothes with him there, there were no keys in the cupboards. We had to go to the women's locker room, I explained to the cashier when she came and began to scold us that the child was small and I would also show him nothing, in terms of undressed women I would not allow, we would quickly take a shower and go swimming. My grandson was scared when they chased us out of the locker room, burst into tears, got stress instead of pleasure, and I also got even more stress. I am extremely outraged by this attitude! I understand that boys should wash separately separately, but this is a special case, and the child is small and not independent yet, and I indicated the reasons why I could not go to the children's locker room with him. A very unpleasant aftertaste remained.. We will not come to you anymore, we will go to the water park. I recommend to equip a separate locker room for visitors with small children!!
Excellent complex
And the pools are different, including those open in summer, and baths, and a gym, etc.
In summer, the recreation area is open outdoors.
The prices are quite pleasant
I've been going to the ICE since 1997. The program is always standard - 2 hours of table tennis, 1 hour of a gym, 1 hour of a sauna with a swimming pool. Initially, there were 5 tennis tables, there were a lot of people, it was interesting to play tennis with new people (even once they waved rackets with an Italian!). Then the management of the ICE decided to increase the sports hall and reduced the number of tables to 2, one of them is bolted to the floor with its legs, and the second stands in the corner on the aisle, where it is impossible to play - people constantly go to the stands of the pool. That's the kind of customer care. The second problem is the number of people in the sauna in the evenings. They do not open the second sauna, there is only a reservation for private gatherings. Now, if a person buys a swimming pool, they are additionally given access to the sauna to warm up. The idea is good, but there is only one sauna and a maximum of 12 people, and as a result, we have a picture - a forest of naked backs, there is not even a place to stand! There will be fewer people on the Tokyo subway during rush hour! And the cherry on the cake - the stove in the sauna is turned off 30 minutes before the end of the session - they will freeze and come out on their own!
And yesterday there was a "hit of the season" from the gym coach (small, red-haired, used to work in the Helios gym). My friend and I always bought 2 hours of table rental, he bought 1 hour, I bought 2 hours. As a result, my check was beaten at 17-30, my friend was a little late, his check was punched at 17-50. As a result, we gave the checks to the coaches in the gym and started playing. Apparently, we somehow did not please the red-haired coach and at 18-50 he came to our table with a demand to vacate the table, since 1 hour had passed by the check and it was time for us to go out. To our argument that we bought 2 hours of table rental, and even if we count from 17-30 from the first check, we will finish at 19-30, he turned out to be purple and he called a security guard to kick out the "tennis players". The guard also couldn't put 1+1 together at first, and offered to go out or the police in the shoulders if we are so stubborn! Then the guard came up again without a coach and asked to clarify the cause of the conflict, as a result, he realized that the truth and arithmetic were on our side and allowed us to play until 19-30.
The game was good, but the stupidity and incompetence of the trainer greatly spoiled the mood of the simulator. By the way, no one has asked for forgiveness for this rudeness in front of us. That's how it is - a customer-oriented service from the Internal combustion engine.
Great pool. I've been walking with my son for a year and a half. The water is warmer in the jump than in the 50-meter one. There are few people in the morning, it is comfortable. We really like this one compared to other pools in Minsk.
A good place to swim. After the renovation, it became very comfortable. I am also glad that the pool is very long, as for the Olympic Games. However, there are a lot of people
I was in an outdoor recreation area, a swimming pool, a sauna, there is something to take a snack, the prices are quite reasonable. The main thing is to arrive early to take a chaise longue.
I have been visiting for 40 years, I often visited the outdoor pool in the USSR, and for the last 20 years the spa area with an outdoor pool. The price is now 25 rubles for 2 hours steam room, sauna, pool with mineral water, hydro massage, Jacuzzi. It's pretty clean and tidy. Mixed sessions for families. I think it's worth the money.
Quite a bit of a scoop. Finishing with more standards, but a million signs everywhere in the style of "not allowed", "forbidden" and "categorically" create an atmosphere of panic and despondency. One large sauna is common, just like everywhere else. The length of the tracks is quite large, the depth is normal. Old battered deck chairs in a row. An inconvenient locker locking system in the style of "an ordinary metal key in a rubber hand strap", which must be removed every time to open the locker. A cleaner in the men's department, doing her job while you're naked next to drying yourself with a towel.
In general, there is no desire to go there a second time. The scoop should retire with the elderly management, and not live in such buildings in 2024. You'll see, and the reputation will be better.
As for me, it's better to go to Mandarin, Freestyle (nearby), Lebyazhy or Masherov's FOTS. Somehow it's more modern there.
It's fine. I.e. not great. One of the few pools of 50 m. The interior of the changing rooms and showers, plumbing - all greetings from the early 2000s. It definitely needs repair. Including the ventilation system in the locker rooms - the stuffiness and humidity in them are indescribable. The tiles and the interior of the pool itself also fall short of the proud title of the Palace of Water Sports.
Very nice pool. There are three types of jumping (deep), baby (for teaching children's groups), swimming (50 meters). There is a gym "Helios", I have not been there. There are saunas.
A great place to relax body and soul. Unlike other pools (with session function) here you are not tied to time and you can come whenever you want. Excellent sauna, pleasant changing rooms, clean showers. The 50-meter pool is a separate topic. The water is pleasant. There are not many people.

A great place for a family vacation and a good time! There is a spa, a swimming pool.. Tennis court, football field... There is convenient parking.. There is a buffet inside the room where you can buy tea and coffee.. The location in the city center makes it easy to reach by any transport.. The interior has been well renovated, it is cozy and comfortable in the premises
What else do you need for outdoor enthusiasts in winter? A 50-meter swimming pool, sauna, massage room, all this is there, and most importantly for reasonable money. I'm glad..
I have been visiting the sauna and swimming pool every Sunday for 3 years. I can say that it is a pretty good place, especially with children. There is a frog house - the warmest in temperature. If none of the children are engaged with the instructor, then you can come in with your children. The main pool is the coldest. And the jump is average in temperature. But it is impossible to get in on a weekday, since all the tracks in the jumping pool are occupied. On weekends, you can get to free ones if there is no record. During the 3 years of walking, very rarely there were small incidents with the sauna. The front door to the sauna could have broken down or the stove simply did not heat up. But the next time everything worked.
Everything is well organized and clean, but there are almost always a lot of people. Minsk really needs swimming pools, because there are a lot of people who want to.
I don't know why there are such good reviews here. I passed three season tickets.
1. the last straw was when the flip-flops were stolen, to the question of those watching the pool, the answer was simple: "it's not our business, figure it out for yourself." And I had to walk barefoot on the dirty black floor barefoot. neither the guards nor the pool checkpoint know what to do. In such cases, you can issue disposable ones.
2. The cleaner is constantly walking in the men's locker room and shower.
3. People don't all wash, and sweat is audible in the pool. especially old grandfathers who think that sweat will wash off in the pool. It would be better if that cleaner, since she walks, would sit in the shower and control who washes.
A large Olympic-size swimming pool.
Nearby there is a pool for kids and a separate pool for diving from a tower. Modern and well equipped. It somewhat spoils the impression of official stupidity in organizational terms, locker rooms and showers.
I liked everything very much!!
There are food courts where both adults and children can eat.
The only disadvantage is the availability of sun loungers, there are always not enough of them!!
A healthy sports complex. Everything is brand new, clean. Convenient location, close to the metro station Akademich Nauk, and Chelyuskintsev Park, too. It is popular.
One of the advantages is not expensive tickets. Several pools. There are many sun beds.
On the downside, there is no food except chips. None at all! There was ice cream. It was sold out in 5 minutes and that's it… We didn't take it with us, we thought we couldn't bring it. Keep in mind. Nobody checks the bags. Take drinks and food. Otherwise you'll be hungry.
Excellent, long (50 meters) swimming pool. But! There is a schedule of rented tracks on weekdays. After 17:00, sometimes only two of the eight lanes remain free for swimming. The "Aztskaya" crowd, forget about comfortable swimming at such a time! I recommend checking on the phone about free tracks by phone, they usually answer. The staff is friendly. Comfortable and slightly paid Parking, with a check-in under the barrier. It takes 1.5-2 hours to get 1.5 rubles. If it is possible to use the pool on weekdays until 16:00, it is a great place for training. On weekends, if you're lucky, there may not be any people at all, or there may be competitions with two or three lanes free.
My favorite pool, it's a pity I can't walk often. I really like the session-free system, I have just enough time, plus I fell in love with the sauna, so I recommend it!
I often go to the pool, it is spacious, long paths of 50 m, there is a separate pool for children, which is very pleasing.A good sauna, shared for women and men with separate showers in order to wash up before swimming.But of course it is inconvenient with time tracking, so far the lockers are equipped with bracelets with keys inside, most of which are rusty and barely working, the hair drying room was specially moved to the locker rooms, and now it is necessary to provide an exit earlier from the pool, since if you do not fit in the allotted time, then 10 are removed from you for every minute kopecks, the cost before 16-00 is 13.50 rubles, after 16-00 is 15.50 .Parking is paid, which I am very surprised at, after all, people come here for free, and free parking is provided everywhere for visitors for the first 2 hours.I would like to make conditions for people good, like everywhere else, so that they still have something to work on for a decent level of service.
one of the few 50-meter swimming pools in Minsk, acceptable repair, high-quality cleaning, there is always toilet paper and clean in the bathrooms, there are jumping towers, diving and swimming classes are also held, the staff is friendly and responsive, I did not notice any obvious disadvantages
My favorite swimming pool in Minsk. Responsive and courteous staff, neat, warm. Wide enough lanes for overtaking if the swimmer is nimble. In the daytime, 4-5 people on the track.
not a bad place, it's especially cool that there is a 50-meter swimming pool, a good sauna, although you will have to squeeze in because it's one small one, but people are friendly, polite, you can negotiate. It's a little difficult to navigate, since there are no inscriptions on the doors, as in a maze 😁
The staff could have been more polite in explaining to people who came to the pool for the first time. Convenient locker keys. The pool is open until 22.45, and the cloakroom until 21.30 - for such a large complex, such a system is incomprehensible.
We visited the summer area with an outdoor pool - we liked everything. There are enough sun beds, and for every taste - in the sun / in the shade near the pool, in the sun / under the trees on the lawn, away / closer. There is a point with food - the prices at first glance are ordinary (ice cream, drinks, fast food, for lovers and alcohol). The pool is large, clean, heated. According to the staff, a gym is also available for visitors. In general, for those who want to wallow in the water, but do not want to go somewhere far away, that's the thing.
As for me, the best place, the pros: there are no sessions tied to a certain time, it is very convenient that you come when it is convenient, the staff is always friendly, a good price for 100 minutes of the session, the sauna is included in the price-generally a class) in general, there are some advantages.
My son and I are regular visitors to the swimming pool. It's not expensive, it's free on the tracks (you only need to know the magic time), well, a steam room after a swim, what else do you need for a good cardio workout??
I really like the complex. Everything is democratic and the time of the visit and the prices and, for some time, the quality of services.I have been visiting the complex for more than 12 years, so I can judge the changes for the better and for the worse.My appeal is more directed to the administration of the sports complex. In February 2022, you made a strong marketing move (for yourself) by including in the service of visiting the pool and automatic sauna access (previously the complex-training room + pool + sauna). At that time, 6-8 people could be in the sauna at the same time. Now 12-16, and sometimes 22 people. Without increasing the area of the sauna or their number, you have made a profit (this is your legal right) but at the expense of a sharp decrease in the quality of the service. Visitors are now like sprats in a tin can.
Another minus in July 2023, a bucket of water disappeared for 10 years did not bother anyone, and then they pour it, allergies, etc. In this case, a ban is not the best way.
Another issue that is at least annoying is the low sanitary culture of some visitors.People do not know that it is necessary to take a shower before visiting the pool and sauna (without a drip suit), and after each visit to the sauna before entering the communal pool bath, it is just as easy to take a shower to wash off sweat. For cultured people, these are elementary rules. Making comments to adults is more expensive for yourself, you can run into rudeness or aggression. Therefore, I propose to post short signs on this topic in the showers and in front of the sauna doors. Then you can nod your head to draw the attention of people who do not notice them. I consider these constructive comments.Everything else is mostly fine. With the area or increasing the number of shared saunas, decide something. Good luck to you.
We visited the outdoor area with my son: a children's pool, an adult rectangular pool and a round one. From the round one, you can get through the passage to the sauna complex, which has two saunas, a shower room, and changing rooms. There were plenty of sun beds, free of charge. I liked everything.
A nice pool where everything is simple. There are 3 pools: the 1st for children, the 2nd for swimming 50 m long, the 3rd for diving from a tower. The tower has several sections ( 1m, 3m, 5m, 7m, 10m). There are 2 saunas, a gym and tennis tables.
In general, the sports palace performs its swimming function. There are constant problems at the turnstiles, for example, problems with reading the qr codes. Fellow administrators, do something about this, please!
Maybe you and organizations that cooperate with you, renting paths for children's education, can find another way for convenient passage of customers to the pool: plastic cards, paper media. But not the phone. Not all children have phones. Your cashiers are often in no hurry to solve problems, they get angry, a large queue is gathering. Cashiers shout after us to solve problems with training organizations, and we, in turn, tell them to solve problems themselves.
There is also a question about leaving the pool. If the operator is busy or is figuring out a relationship with someone, then the client stands for a long time and waits for a button to be pressed, and often they may not press it, if it's a teenager or a child, you catch a look like you owe something. From the couch at the cash register, everything is clearly visible, you watch all this mayhem and think something is not human, all this is straining where it could have been avoided. Make a separate "corridor" for those who have already bathed and let people pass unhindered!
And more. On the territory of the palace, there is a stall with drinks, dairy products, and pastries that is very popular with customers. The pastries are not tasty at all and this is an opinion from children who a priori love all the buns and sausages in the dough. That's how they bought it, and threw it away. The oxygen cocktail is not being made "right". We asked the seller about the ingredients. It seems like licorice root should be used in a cocktail, but no, nothing like that, just juice from the store. It turns out to be some kind of parody of a cocktail. I want it to be not only sweet and expensive, but also useful. Very tasty similar cocktails were made at Makaenka 17, at the balneological center, maybe you can ask how it is made there?! People will only be grateful to you! Because the money is the same, and the quality of the drink leaves much to be desired.
All the best!
A good place for people who love swimming and take care of their health. Spacious and bright 50-meter swimming pool, sauna, large changing rooms, which are cleaned in a timely manner.
There is a buffet and a cafe. Clear and convenient access system. Friendly staff.
A good complex. Clean, tidy, a large selection of sports grounds, up to beach volleyball with imported river sand. Constant movement, people everywhere, children, competitions, training. Pride takes over the Country. You see where your taxes are going.
All I can say about this pool, if you are a "Walrus", feel free to choose this institution.
In the summer, I bought an unlimited subscription to the pool twice and hoped for a miracle. I really like to swim for me 45 minutes is very little, so I chose from where there are unlimited sessions at all. Out of two months, I walked all the time and every day, but I swam only 20 days in two months, on all other days the water is not just cold, it's ICY! So you just can't do without cramps after 2 minutes in the water, the windows opened wide, and I walked at 7 in the morning and the temperature was, say, not 30 degrees. For all claims, complaints and statements, just excuses, unsubscriptions, etc., that their water is according to the standard of 26-28 degrees, and there was no smell of 20 degrees at the water temperature .....
The ideal place would be if not just ice water. For me, an unlimited swimming pool that you can visit every day is a paradise. Although it costs a lot, I was ready to give it away, but it's just unrealistic to swim there. Think 10 times before you go there.
Advantages: a swimming pool with mineral water and a sauna.
Cons: one normal cafe, few sun loungers! I understand if there was no place to put them, but there is!
An Excellent complex For Belarusians. Services on the level, a swimming pool with mineral water, baths and saunas. Just Rest. One of the disadvantages is that you need to find out in advance if there are places and times. There are a lot of people.
I haven't been to the water sports palace for a long time. I was pleasantly surprised. It turns out that there is an opportunity to attend various clubs in the palace. Foy is very cozy. There are soft sofas (you can wait), comfortable changing rooms, neat toilets, a buffet. There is a cafe on the second floor where you can have a snack. Recently renovated. Real professionals work at the Water Sports Palace.
It was the first time
Everyone told me where to go, etc
. The staff is friendly :)
The pool is good, 50 m, deep
For athletes 👍
I paid 16 rubles for 100 minutes (100 minutes includes everything: shower, pool, sauna)
I was satisfied
I will definitely come back
