Aquacenter Arena Chișinău

The aqua centre is part of Arena Chișinău, the sports and events complex at Calea Orheiului 130 on the way out towards Stăuceni. Besides the pools, the arena grounds hold an amphitheatre, a tennis club, a taekwondo section and a large hall for competitions and concerts.

The aqua centre has an Olympic pool, a training pool, a weights room and a relaxation area with wellness and spa facilities; entry is by single ticket or membership. An outdoor pool opens in summer. Sports groups and competitions often use the main pool, so the number of lanes open to the public varies.

Overall, customers rate the complex positively: the pools are large and clean, the changing rooms well equipped and the gym decent. Recent reviews, however, are increasingly critical, citing crowded pools and saunas, few free lanes in the evening because of training groups, chilly corridors between pool and sauna, poorly enforced hygiene rules and an unfriendly reception.
