Facility Reviews
They have two swim lanes in this pool for counter-clockwise laps but, as with most German pools, there is no restriction on the style of swimming. So, for freestyle swimmers there is much overtaking!
Opened in 1994 as a replacement for the Stadtbad Charlottenberg Alte Halle next door and unlike its older neighbour, this provides a good lap swimming facility.
Present the bar coded admission ticket to the reader beside the turnstile to access the facility. Retain the ticket because you will need it again to operate the exit turnstile. Gender-specific locker rooms: lockers require a €1 coin returnable deposit. Access to the pool is through the shower rooms: customary practice is for users to shower and wash with soap before entering the pool.
At the time of my visits (early morning, both on weekdays and weekends), the 50 metre pool was part laned. The three lanes provided were not speed differentiated. However, this did not prove to be too much of an obstacle because (a) the pool was not particularly heavily used (on my visits, there appeared never to be more than about five swimmers in any one of the lanes) and (b) those swimmers who elsewhere might have been expected to be using a slow lane were in the unlaned area, which was divided by a transverse rope delineating the shallow end. Good lane discipline was observed.

The pool is a seven-minute walk from the Richard Wagner Platz metro stop on the U-Bahn (Train #U7). Walk on Otto-Suhr-Allee towards the Charlottenburg Town Hall (Rathaus Charlottenburg), an old building with a tower. Make the first right onto Krumme Straße which is on the opposite side of the street from Town Hall. The pool is about a 200 meter walk.
The lockers use a €1 coin. It is advisable to test the lock by inserting the coin to determine if it works properly.
The Olympic pool is 1.2 meters deep with lots of natural light. Swim caps are optional. There are three lap lanes. A sign at the foot of the lane nearest the windows indicates it is reserved for classes, otherwise it is available to all lap swimmers. The remaining two lap lanes are not designated for speed, but passing a slower swimmer is acceptable. The combined three-lane area tends to be chaotic.
