The building was developed as a result of the proposal submitted to a public competition called in 2004 by the City of Toro.
The municipal swimming pool wants to be an austere building that, without abandoning the contemporary architectural language, knows how to give expressive continuity to the Toro´s patrimonial bequest.
The special design of the pool lies in the special role that the use of rammed earth acquires in its construction, developing its representative image.
