Schwimm- und Sprunghalle im Europasportpark (SSE)

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Reviews

Excellent facility, easily the best place in Berlin for lap swimming. Extremely clean. Usually several lap lanes open for most of the day but, like most Berlin pools, there is no differentiation of speed across the lanes.
The pool complex is vast, and mostly underground.
The locker rooms are clean, but not comfortable. The showers are clean, but the temperature is either too hot or too cold. The toilets didn't smell very clean and the deck was very slippery. The pool was clean with a good temperature.
It was a bit busy during early morning, before working time, with six or seven people in the lane. Quite hard to make some series. Great place for swimming anyway. It cost €2 to use the locker.
[February, 2014]
I was here in June '14. It's the best pool I've ever seen - clean, a nice building, cheap, good facilities - even a beergarten!, and serious lap swimming in separate lanes. The entrance was kind of difficult to find; it probably has to do with the large building and modern architecture.
[September, 2014]
There is one lane in the middle always reserved for fast swimming. While the use of swimming paddles and snorkels is usually prohibited in other Berlin pools, here all of that is permitted (this makes it the only indoor pool where lifeguards are tolerant to this).
