Myrtha Pools is proud to play a central role at the World Aquatics Championships – Singapore 2025. The Italian company has supplied and installed two state-of-the-art 50m competition pools at the new World Aquatics Championships Arena, located next to the National Stadium. These pools are currently the field of play for artistic swimmers vying for world titles and will soon be home to swimmers competing at the sport’s highest level.
As an official World Aquatics partner since 2009, Myrtha Pools brings over 60 years of technical expertise to the global stage. To date, 178 World Records have been set in Myrtha pools, a testament to the brand’s commitment to performance and innovation.
For Singapore, two Olympic-standard, 3-metre-deep pools have been delivered - one dedicated to competition and the other to warm-up - tailored to meet the highest demands of elite aquatics.
Building for Performance and Legacy
Utilising Myrtha’s exclusive modular stainless-steel technology, the same system used for permanent installations, the Singapore pools combine the benefits of flexibility, precision, and sustainability. This technology is also well-suited for temporary facilities, which major sports organisations increasingly favour for their adaptability, reduced environmental footprint, and capacity.
What sets these temporary pools apart is their post-event potential: designed for reinstallation, they will be relocated to local aquatic centres following the Championships, forming a lasting legacy for community sport and aquatics development in the region.
Smart by Design: Sustainability and Water Quality
In line with innovations presented at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Singapore pools are equipped with Myrtha R-Evolution, a pioneering membrane made from 60% recycled materials and fully recyclable at the end of its life. Certified by RecyClass, the membrane represents a tangible step forward in circular construction methods and sustainable pool design.
Compared to traditional construction methods using concrete and tile, Myrtha’s installation in Singapore also achieves an impressive 45% reduction in carbon emissions.
In addition, Myrtha’s technologies can contribute to green building certifications, such as LEED, BREEAM, and Green Star, in recognition of its environmental leadership. Most recently, the company received 3 product certifications from the Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP).
SGBP’s stringent evaluation criteria assess product sustainability across the entire lifecycle – from raw material sourcing to end-of-life recyclability – underscoring Myrtha’s role as an industry leader in responsible innovation.
The performance of the pool is crucial, especially during international competitions. Water clarity and perfect circulation are essential for both swimmers and TV audiences.
At the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, water circulation is managed through Strahlenturbulenz, Myrtha’s advanced recirculation system, which is based on the Venturi effect. The system utilises sidewall inlets to ensure an even, turbulence-free flow, eliminating the need for underfloor piping and creating ideal racing conditions for elite athletes.
