In the twin cities of Hubli-Dharwad, in the heart of northern Karnataka, a long-held vision of the region’s sporting community has finally become a reality. The new aquatic center at Sport Complex Hubli marks an important milestone for swimming in the state, bringing international-standard aquatic infrastructure to the region.
The facility, the fourth Myrtha pool in India, was inaugurated in March 2026 by Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, highlighting the strategic importance of the project within India’s broader effort to develop world-class sports venues across the country. That momentum has continued to grow in recent years, with projects such as the Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Ahmedabad and the country’s ongoing push toward a potential bid for the 2036 Olympic Games.
Myrtha Pools installed a 50-meter, 10-lane competition pool designed using its modular stainless-steel technology. Built in compliance with World Aquatics standards, the facility is equally suited to athlete training and year-round community use. The depth profile, ranging from 1.35 meters at the swimming end to 5 meters in the dedicated diving area, creates a truly multifunctional aquatic environment capable of supporting elite swimming, diving training, and official events.
The choice of Myrtha’s modular technology brings advantages that extend well beyond opening day. The pre-engineered stainless-steel panels ensure a high level of dimensional precision while helping reduce construction timelines and limit the environmental impact typically associated with traditional concrete construction.
