ABSTRACT<br />

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of services provi<strong>de</strong>d on eleven public<br />

swimming pools in Ma<strong>de</strong>ira and Porto Santo in terms of individual swimming or services<br />

promoted by sports clubs or other entities, using the lanes to <strong>de</strong>velop its activities.<br />

The study must inclu<strong>de</strong> a sample larger than 400 amateur swimmers with ages over 16 that<br />

already use the swimming pool for a minimum period of 3 months. An individual and<br />

anonymous questionnaire will be applied and validated.<br />

As a result from this study we expect to measure the quality of service from the user’s level<br />

of satisfaction. The results will allow a better un<strong>de</strong>rstanding of the swimmers profile and the<br />

perception on both service and infrastructure components that must be improved from two<br />

different groups’ point of view (individual swimmers and club swimmers).<br />

KEYWORDS: Quality of services, Customers Satisfaction, Public Swimming Pools.<br />
