German gyms with a swimming pool

Compare health clubs and resort gyms where you can swim after training.

A pool is rare at German studios, so the gyms that have one are mostly health clubs in Hamburg and studios in Göttingen and Bremen, with resort fitness areas in Bad Hindelang and further pools in Dallgow-Döberitz near Berlin.

Pools in these clubs range from short counter-current pools to full lanes, so check the length before planning swim training. Ask whether the pool is included in the membership, shared with hotel guests and open at your training times.

Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a pool in Germany

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

In German gyms the pool is usually part of the wellness area and may only be included in a premium plan. Many club pools are short, so they suit aqua fitness and a relaxed swim more than serious lap training; for laps, a public indoor pool (Hallenbad) is often the better choice. Shower before entering, and remember that the sauna next to the pool is textile-free while the pool itself is not.

Tips

  • Do your lap training at a public indoor pool; many club pools are short.
  • Check that your plan includes the wellness area, where the pool usually is.
  • Swimwear on in the pool, off in the sauna next door.
