Eriksdalsbadet

This is a huge complex with multiple indoor and outdoor pools. I swam several times at the indoor 50m pool, and it was well maintained, clean, and organized. Several of the lanes were reserved for the swim team and swim classes, but the remaining lanes were great for swimming laps and were by stroke- and speed-designated. One thing to note is that no lifeguards were present. Several of the local swimmers said that this was the best swimming facility in the city, and I can see why. It's a great place to swim.

I swam in the heated, 50m, outdoor pool yesterday - superb! The whole complex is excellent with indoor and outside pools. There are really nice saunas, as well, and the park where the outdoor pools are is a great place to hang out and picnic. If you have a layover flying via Stockholm you can get to the pool from Arlanda Airport in 30 to 40 minutes by public transport.

The 50 metre indoor pool is fantastic. The lanes are clearly marked for fast crawl, crawl, breast stroke, etc. The best times are between 10 AM and noon, when you can often have a lane for yourself. There are saunas and steam room in the changing rooms and 3 Jacuzzis out in the swimming halls. The outdoor 50 metre is open only in the summer, of course.

The 50m pool was awesome. There were lots of old timers in the lanes, but they generally got out of the way for the more nimble swimmers. The locker rooms get dirty fast but they clean them and everyone takes their shoes off at the entrance. There are saunas in all locker rooms. As a bonus, there is a kids' paradise pool with slides et al., in case you're bringing kids along. It was crowded with tons of kids, but they don't go into the 50m pool, so you're safe there. It's SEK 30 for a lock if you don't have one. Or you can bring your bag poolside.

The outdoor pool was warmer than expected - lovely and clean. Bring a lock, but not a suitcase lock, which will be too small. Limited smoking area means some unwelcome, wafting smoke. Swim caps NOT required. There is also a swim shop and snack bar.

A very good facility, though very crowded on weekday evenings (clubs occupy most of the lanes). You can get a lane of your own in the 25m pool at midday and on weekends.

Wow! Outdoor pools (crowded), indoor 50m, diving, and water aerobics pools, plus an indoor/outdoor adventure pool for kids.

The outdoor pool opens in early May and is often quite empty. Great pool, comfortably cool water, and the changing rooms are clean. The school children always there are a drawback.

A great facility!
