New 15m euro sports centre will attract groups and clubs to the Spanish island who are training for national and international competitions.

The T3 AthleticSphere is a new high performance training centre which has just opened on the Spanish island of Tenerife, offering the latest scientific and technical innovations for those who enjoy sports.

The centre, which will draw sports enthusiasts from across Europe, is specially equipped for high performance training and is located in the quaint fishing village of La Caleta, on the south of the island.

The 56,620-square-metre sports centre is the result of a 15m euros investment, contributed exclusively by the private sector.

It was constructed according to modern and ecological guidelines and has installed solar panels and an energy control system.

Located in a unique setting, with an excellent year-round climate and high standard facilities, the centre is designed to improve performance while training for national and international championships as well as for rehabilitation or to simply keep fit and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Facilities include Spain's only countercurrent swimming machine with hydrodynamic streams, which is the most modern of the 20 existing machines in the world. This indoor swimming pool allows top swimmers to improve stamina in optimum conditions and to increase performance for technical rehabilitation.

A spa complements the resistance swimming pool and other indoor facilities include three squash courts. The centre also has multipurpose rooms for theory lessons and other activities, areas for gymnastics, a cafe with an outdoor esplanade and further swimming pools and fitness machines on the basement level.

In addition, there is a keep-fit area, a relaxation and motivation zone as well as medical and therapeutic assistance provided by trained professional staff.

Merchandise and sports equipment for swimming, football, tennis and others sports can be purchased in the shop.

The training centre also features an outdoor heated Olympic swimming pool made of steel, designed to satisfy the most demanding requirements. It is fully equipped for tournaments and championships and can be adapted for sports such as water polo and synchronised swimming.

A 25-metre warming-up pool, seven paddle tennis courts, three tennis courts (one hard and two clay), and two football pitches complete the training centre's facilities. There is also a goalkeepers' training area and three beach volley ball courts.

The centre is associated with the Aparthotel Jardin Caleta, and with the Gran Tacande Hotel, both on the Costa Adeje, allowing groups and sports clubs to stay somewhere close by. The centre, near the Costa Adeje Golf Club, is also a suitable venue for meetings, conferences and other events.
