Duna Aréna

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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 Notes

The facility, whose name means "Danube Arena", was built for the 2017 FINA World Championships.
The main pool and warm-up pool (Pools #1 and #2, above, respectively) have movable bulkheads; the warm-up pool also has an adjustable-depth bottom. We understand that the main (competition) pool and the diving pool (Pool #3) are sometimes not open to the public, but the warm-up pool is usually available.
There is also a 32ºC (90ºF) teaching pool and a 20-person Jacuzzi®.
This facility is so close to the separately listed Dagály Termálfürdő, Strandfürdő és Uszoda that their dots on our Google Map for Budapest may overlap, but its not a duplication; they're two separate facilities.

Facility Reviews

I swam here on a Tuesday afternoon. All lanes of the 50m, long course, competition pool were available for public use and not crowded. Starting blocks were allowed to be used. The warm-up pool was also available, as was the Jacuzzi.

The entrance and lockers work on a bracelet system, so there's no need to bring your own lock. Note that there's an extra charge to use the sauna. The entire facility was very clean.

There is a small Arena store in the lobby if you need any swim gear. There was English-language signage in most areas.
