Springboard to the future

With its base at the Sant Sebastià municipal swimming pools, the Atlètic-Barceloneta Swimming Club (CNAB) is a democratic body, where all the members have their say and vote, with sports, financial and social management issues put to vote in assemblies.

Besides offering swimming and water polo – the latter’s men’s team were crowned European Champions in 2014 – the club teaches and has facilities for a range of different sports that include padel tennis, pilates, running and karate. Its fully equipped facilities offer several swimming pools, fitness rooms, padel tennis and pelota courts, a spa, a restaurant and a health centre. The club also takes part in national and international competitions for both men’s and women’s water polo.

100 years of moving Barcelona

In 2013, the Generalitat [regional government] of Catalonia awarded the CNAB the St George’s Cross  in recognition of its work in the fields of sport and health. The same year saw the 86th swim across Barcelona’s port, one of the oldest sports events in Spain (held annually since 1926) and organised by the club.
