At a glance

Gyms with a pool

Danish towns often combine a swimming hall, a fitness room and a sauna under one roof, and that is where nearly all of these gyms are. They are spread across the country, from Nørresundby to Herning, and few towns have more than two or three. Almost all of them sell single visits, so it is easy to combine a workout with a swim.

Danish gyms with a swimming pool

Find a sports centre where the gym, pool and changing rooms share one entrance.

A pool at a Danish gym nearly always means a local sports centre or swimming hall, spread across towns such as Nørresundby, Odense, Brædstrup and Hedensted rather than concentrated in Copenhagen.

Because the pool serves the whole community, its public swimming hours can differ from the gym's. Check whether a fitness membership includes swimming, when lanes are open, and the shower rules, which in Danish pools mean washing without swimwear first.

Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a pool in Denmark

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.

In Danish swimming halls you shower without swimwear and wash thoroughly before entering the pool, and staff take the rule seriously. The pool, fitness room and sauna often have separate opening hours and prices, and a fitness card may not include swimming. School and club swimming take up much of the daytime and early evening, so public lanes can be limited at those hours.

Tips

  • Wash thoroughly without swimwear before entering the pool; posters show where.
  • Check public lane times, as school and club swimming take much of the day.
  • Ask whether a combined fitness and swimming card is cheaper than two tickets.
