Unreliable Conditions at the Paphos Municipal Swimming Pool
February 18, 2026
The Municipal Swimming Pool of Paphos operates without a license and does not meet health safety requirements. Despite annual funding from the Cyprus Sports Organization, the Paphos municipality has neglected maintenance. The pool’s facilities were in poor condition, posing health risks for users, especially children. The local authorities believed that swimming instructors could also act as lifeguards, which is unacceptable. This situation prompted the Sports Organization to take over the management of the swimming pool.
