In Saxony’s first adven­ture pool, guests can have fun on over 600 square meters of water sur­face. An 80-meter-long giant slide is wai­ting to be con­quered just as much as the sports and adven­ture pool, the hot whirl­pool or the flow channel. The tro­pical sun­bathing garden or the sauna lure you to relax. Ori­gi­nally, the pool was planned as a stan­dard swim­ming hall for the Gor­bitz resi­den­tial area in the west of Dresden. Before the con­s­truc­tion was com­pleted, however, the GDR era ended. After the poli­tical tur­n­around there was the replan­ning to an adven­ture pool.

In the his­to­rical Klotz­scher Schwimm­halle, visi­tors can swim in a pool of over 300 square meters. In the front part, there is also a non-swimmer area with a water depth of 60 cen­ti­me­ters. The five 25-meter lanes are used not only by recrea­tional ath­letes in public swim­ming but also by clubs and the par­ti­ci­pants of swim­ming courses. The swim­ming hall, which was com­pleted in 1935 and is a listed buil­ding, also includes a gym­na­sium. Both look back on a long tra­di­tion and are popular sports faci­li­ties in the north of Dresden. They exude a very spe­cial flair through various design ele­ments such as the Olympic rings or facade pictures.

In the bar­rier-free Bühlau swim­ming hall in the north-east of Dresden there is a 25-meter pool made of stain­less steel with six lanes. A smaller course pool with a lif­ting floor and a paddling pool for children enrich it as well as three dif­fe­rent saunas on the upper floor. Some­thing spe­cial is wai­ting for visi­tors on the first floor: not only health-con­scious people will get their money’s worth in an infrared cabin. The room with the heat-radia­ting seats is modelled on a his­to­rical streetcar. This is a reminder of the area’s his­toric past. The Bühlau indoor swim­ming pool is located on the site of an old streetcar station.

The popular family pool in the center of Dresden bor­ders directly on the Großer Garten. The visitor magnet has a spa­cious chan­ging and sani­tary area and is com­ple­tely bar­rier-free. Guests can swim in the 25-meter pool in the hall or in the 250 square meter adven­ture pool. Those who like it fast can climb the slide tower and go on a wild ride down through the tube from above. The slide is not only great fun because of the effect lighting, but at 93 meters it is also the lon­gest of its kind in Dresden. Several attrac­tions ensure that there is no time for boredom in the indoor swim­ming pool. For the little ones there is a sepa­rate paddling pool with a mini-slide. In the sauna land­scape “Swea­ting bet­ween Old Mas­ters”, guests can relax in the five themed saunas. Two restau­rants round off the offer in the Georg-Arn­hold-Bad. This pool looks back on a long history. Lar­gely paid for by the sports sponsor Georg Arn­hold, it was initi­ally built purely as an open-air pool until 1926. The indoor pool was only added in the 1990s, when the entire com­plex was trans­formed into an adven­ture pool.

The out­door swim­ming pool in Prohlis in the south of Dresden has been com­ple­tely rede­si­gned and, tog­e­ther with the indoor swim­ming pool there, forms the Prohlis com­bined pool. In addi­tion to a 25-meter swim­ming pool, the out­door pool area includes an adven­ture pool and a bathing area for younger visi­tors. In addi­tion to a wide slide, guests can also use the two giant tube slides at the swim­ming pool. Num­e­rous sports options offer ever­y­thing you need for an active day at the out­door pool. Large sun­bathing areas and a higher sun ter­race also pro­vide plenty of oppor­tu­ni­ties to relax.

The Cotta out­door pool in the west of Dresden is popular with all age groups and has a 620 square meter stain­less steel pool for bathing fun, inclu­ding three 25-meter lanes. The little bathing guests have their own paddling pool. Sun wor­ship­pers will find a nice spot on the large sun­bathing lawn. The play­ground makes children’s hearts beat faster, as does the wide slide and the water mush­room. For “water bombs” and “pike” there is a three-meter tower and a one-meter diving board. In the year of its 100th anni­ver­sary, the Cotta out­door pool was reopened in 2013 after it had been exten­si­vely renovated.

The popular Georg-Arn­hold-Bad is located directly at the Großer Garten in the center of Dresden. In addi­tion to the modern, family-fri­endly indoor swim­ming pool with a huge sauna land­scape, it also has a large out­door pool with a long tra­di­tion (opened in 1926, lar­gely paid for by banker Georg Arn­hold). The solar-heated 25-meter swim­ming pool with six lanes offers very good con­di­tions for various water fun acti­vi­ties. The 18-meter slide (wide) is just as much fun for bathers as the four-season pool with a cur­rent channel. Even the youn­gest children will have the chance to cool off in the paddling pool with children’s slide and on the mud play­ground. The large out­door area with many shady trees invites you to sun­bathe and relax. In the reno­vated atrium, the chan­ging rooms, sani­tary faci­li­ties and various sea­ting arran­ge­ments are arranged around the his­toric foun­tain from the early days.
