We are proud to support the next generation of elite athletes through major investment in high‑quality recovery infrastructure. At SASI, Hydrilla delivered two purpose‑built aquatic recovery pools — a hot recovery pool and a cold plunge pool — designed to enable contrast therapy and advanced immersion‑based recovery within a single integrated facility.

The hot recovery pool operates at 35°C and features 156 targeted spa jets to promote circulation and muscular recovery. Alongside it, the cold plunge pool maintains a consistent 10°C, allowing athletes and sports scientists to transition seamlessly between temperatures to support professional‑level recovery protocols.

Both pools were engineered with advanced hydraulic systems, automated water‑quality management, and integrated heating and cooling technology to maintain precise operating conditions. The concrete pool structures incorporate high‑performance filtration, chemical dosing, automated level control, and a bespoke Pool Management System with remote monitoring capability. The hydraulic design was carefully developed to deliver accurate water circulation and turnover rates across two pools operating at significantly different temperatures. Within a compact plantroom, pumps, filters, control systems, and electrical infrastructure were meticulously coordinated to ensure efficient operation and ease of maintenance.
