Palma, Mallorca: s'Aigua Dolça opens its pool on Thursday, 15 October, giving swimmers five evenings a week in the water. The municipal sports centre offers open swimming from Monday to Friday, 16.30 to 21.30. Both members and people buying a single ticket can use the pool, Palma City Council says.

Walking and exercise start too

Its next session is on 23 October at 18.00, with six more planned across November and December. From 3 November, the centre is due to add B@les, a supervised exercise programme for adults.
