Pool and Swimming Offers

The 25-metre pool is available for lap swimming and is complemented by a family and children's area. Every Friday, separate women's and men's swimming sessions take place; once a month there is also a dedicated swimming slot for transgender and intersex individuals.

Textile Steam Bath

The facility includes a textile steam bath, which — unlike a traditional sauna — is used in swimwear, such as swimming trunks or a bikini.

Accessibility Notes

Pre-registration for a visit by wheelchair is not required. Since there is no pool hoist on site and four steps lead down into the water, the pool recommends paying a visit in person beforehand to assess the conditions. Anyone whose ID indicates a need for a companion is advised to bring one along.
