Safety & Etiquette
Aqua Park President Safety Tips
Aqua Park President is a professionally managed facility with trained staff and lifeguards on duty at the pools. Follow all poolside instructions and posted safety rules for the waterslides; height and age restrictions apply to certain slides and are posted at each attraction. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times in the water and in the slide queues. Grip sandals are recommended for moving between pools and through the sauna area, as tiled surfaces can be slippery when wet.
The thermal water pools use the mesothermal springs of Baile Felix. The water is warm year-round; people with cardiovascular conditions, low blood pressure, or pregnancy should seek medical advice before extended thermal bathing. Limit sauna sessions to 10 to 15 minutes and cool down between rounds in the cooler relaxation area. The Mediterranean grotto provides a gentler steam environment for those who find the Finnish or Turkish sauna too intense. Drink water regularly throughout your visit, particularly after sauna sessions. All sauna facilities are included in the entry fee; bring a towel or purchase one on site.
The park opens at 9am; arrive early to avoid the busiest periods on weekends and school holidays. The outdoor pools work year-round; in winter the warm water against cold air is enjoyable but move carefully between environments if you have circulatory sensitivities. The on-site restaurant means a full day is comfortably possible without needing to leave the complex for meals.
