This is a fantastic historical pool with beautiful light. Currently, it operates with three supersize lanes, (not speed assigned) so several swimmers can overtake each other swimming parallel in a lane.

The pool is quite popular, centrally located, and one of the best options in the city.

This is definitely the friendliest pool I ever came across. Smiley at the cash register .. and when I realized I had no towel, they lent me one. Just like that :)

A glorious place to swim on an unassuming street in the Mitte. Watch for the riptide approximately 15m in from the shallow end (a red line marks the danger area)... Take €0.05 coins for the electric driers.

Old (1930) and divine - full on 50m. One lane divider. Three sides of three stories tall paned glass. Stunned by how nice the Germans were to this non-German speaking fool. I would RUN back again in a minute.

The pool is not too good for lane swimming, the last 10m of one side of the pool are barely 30 cm deep. Check the schedule for lane swim times, it changes often. Lanes are not speed segregated; you may find yourself slaloming most of the time. Very clean, as most German swimming pools.
