The project involved the placement of ten yellow cylindrical polyethylene buoys, 60 centimeters in diameter, distributed along the one-kilometer route. These buoys comply with current Coastal regulations and are spaced approximately 50 meters apart, running parallel to the coastline.
In addition to the buoys, informational signage has been updated with the installation of two new panels along the channel. These panels provide relevant data and help improve user orientation and safety.
The orientation line for swimmers is located 100 meters from the coast and 50 meters from the navigation zone, aiming to optimize safety, prevent disorientation, and ensure proper coexistence between bathers and boats.
“"This action is part of the City Council's commitment to the users of the open water swimming channel on the coast of Telde, and has been carried out through rigorous and coordinated work, with the corresponding authorizations from other public administrations."
As an integral part of this initiative, six new marine biotopes have also been installed. These elements are designed to promote the regeneration of the underwater habitat, create natural refuges for marine fauna, and contribute to increasing biodiversity in the area.
The Taliarte-Salinetas open water swimming channel was conceived to offer a safer space for sports practice. Before its creation, many swimmers exceeded the delimited bathing areas, using beach buoys as reference, which posed a risk to their safety. This infrastructure provides a year-round accessible space, encouraging local athletes and those from other parts of the island to choose the Telde coast for training, thanks to its excellent climatic conditions and the richness of its marine ecosystems.
