We chose Titanic Deluxe Lara for one primary reason: the 50m pool.
When your kids train multiple days a week in competitive swim squads, booking a holiday at a resort with a standard shallow puddle filled with giant rubber ducks and floating cocktails doesn’t work. You need real lane space where they can actually pull off proper training sets without dodging toddlers on inflatables.
Here is the unfiltered breakdown of how the 50m pool, waterpark slides, and late-night kids’ club actually perform when tested by a competitive swim family.
The Breakdown: Olympic Pool vs. Public Swimmers
Most resort pools claim to be “large,” but they rarely offer genuine depth or continuous length for lap swimming. The setup at Titanic Lara gives serious swimmers proper infrastructure, but you still have to navigate typical resort realities.
Is the 50m pool at Titanic Deluxe Lara good for competitive swimmers? Yes, the dedicated 50m pool maintains a continuous 180cm depth for lap training, though you will occasionally need to swim around casual floating holidaymakers during peak hours.
- 180cm Continuous Depth: The pool holds a solid 180cm depth throughout. Young squad swimmers get a proper deep-water training environment where they won’t hit floor tiles on turns.
- The Inflatable Barrier: Casual floaters naturally avoid deep water, keeping the area free of the inflatable chaos that overtakes the main leisure pools. However, public swimmers will still drift across and you have to dodge them as the morning wears on.
- The Sunbed Dash: You can sit directly by the poolside to coach or supervise, but you must head down early in the morning to grab a bed right by the edge.
3 Non-Negotiable Survival Rules for Active Swim Families
Managing training sessions, slide queues, and hot Mediterranean sun requires a daily system.
- Swim Squad Sets at 8:00 AM: Get your lap training done in the 50m deep pool first thing in the morning. The water is crisp, lanes are clear, and you beat the heat. (if they wake up)
- Use the Indoor activities at 1:00 PM: Move the kids into the air-conditioned kids’ club right after lunch. They can watch a movie, eat popcorn, go bowling, and do crafts while the sun is at its most brutal.
- Hit the Fast Slides at 4:00 PM: The waterpark features multiple tube slides and a fast drop-slide. Queue times drag between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, but lines shrink significantly late in the afternoon. (hours vary)
Practical System: Kids’ Club Facilities & Towel Logistics
Resort logistics can waste hours of your day if the layout is inefficient. Titanic Lara handles these details remarkably well.
- Towel Station Handoff: You receive towel cards at check-in. The towel station sits directly in the middle of the pool deck, making morning swaps instant.
- Friendly, English-Speaking Staff: The kids’ club team speaks clear English and runs a welcoming operation. They provide water, popcorn, and snacks inside the building during sessions.
- Security vs. Freedom: You can opt to tag younger children with security bands so they cannot leave without you, or grant older kids permission to roam in and out freely.
- Late Childcare Hours: The club stays open until midnight. Parents get a quiet, unhurried adult dinner while the kids stay entertained with evening shows and movie nights.
Grounded Wrap-Up
If you are booking specifically for the 50m pool to keep competitive swim training on track while keeping active kids entertained with fast slides, Titanic Deluxe Lara delivers. You will deal with early morning sunbed dashes and casual swimmers drifting into your lanes, but the combination of real deep-water length and late-night childcare makes it a solid win for swim families.
