In the twin cities of Hubli-Dharwad, in the heart of northern Karnataka, a long-held aspiration of the region's sporting community has finally taken shape. The new aquatic centre at Sport Complex Hubli marks a defining moment for swimming in the state, bringing international-standard aquatic infrastructure to the region.
The facility, the fourth Myrtha pool in India, reflects the country’s broader efforts to develop world-class sporting venues. This momentum has grown considerably in recent years, with projects such as the Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Ahmedabad and India’s increasing ambitions around a potential bid for the 2036 Olympic Games.
Myrtha Pools installed a 50-metre, 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 metres at the swimming end to 5 metres in the dedicated diving area, creates a genuinely 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 high dimensional precision, while helping reduce construction time and limiting the environmental impact typically associated with traditional concrete construction.
