Swimming pools, due to their specific nature, are sports facilities for which demand is highest for water of a quality subject to restrictive regulations. The objective of this study is to provide a detailed characterisation of the structure of water consumption in three ‘twin’ swimming pool facilities located in Poland, in the Silesian Voivodeship. Each of the analysed facilities includes a sports pool, a recreational pool with water attractions, a water slide, a whirlpool and a children’s paddling pool. The findings of this study demonstrate a strong correlation between water consumption and the type of users and water management practices employed. In particular, it was found that recreational pools with water attractions (slides, whirlpools) used significantly more water than traditional sports pools. The findings of this case study offer a valuable foundation for the development of strategies aimed at enhancing the efficiency of water management in swimming pool facilities.

Obiekty basenowe, ze względu na swoją specyfikę, są obiektami sportowymi o największym zapotrzebowaniu na wodę o jakości regulowanej restrykcyjnymi przepisami. Niniejsza praca ma na celu szczegółową charakterystykę struktury zużycia wody w trzech „bliźniaczych” obiektach basenowych zlokalizowanych w Polsce, w województwie śląskim. W każdym z analizowanych obiektów znajduje się basen sportowy, basen rekreacyjny z atrakcjami wodnymi, zjeżdżalnia wodna, wanna z hydromasażem i brodzik dla dzieci. Wyniki badań dowodzą, że istnieje silna korelacja między zużyciem wody a rodzajem użytkowników i stosowanymi praktykami zarządzania wodą. W szczególności dla basenów rekreacyjnych wyposażonych w atrakcje wodne (zjeżdżalnie, hydromasaże) wykazano znacznie wyższe zużycie wody w porównaniu z tradycyjnymi basenami typu sportowego. Wyniki niniejszego studium przypadku mogą zostać wykorzystane do opracowania strategii optymalizacji efektywnego zarządzania wodą w obiektach basenowych.
