Gyms with a Swimming Pool in the Netherlands

This page lists gyms in the Netherlands where a swimming pool is confirmed. Ask about the times for lap swimming (baantjeszwemmen), and whether the pool comes with your membership tier or a wellness add-on. Pools are rare at Dutch gyms, so this list is mostly independent gyms, sports centres and resorts. Many also list a sauna or aqua fitness. Open a profile to see the address and contact details.

At a glance

Gyms with a pool

The large Dutch chains focus on the training floor and leave out a pool, so the gyms on this list are almost all independent health clubs, sports centres and hotel or resort facilities. They are spread thinly, with a few in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Almere and others in coastal towns such as Noordwijk. Many combine the pool with a sauna and steam room in a wellness area.

Dutch gyms with a swimming pool

Find a club where you can swim after training, from Amsterdam to Noordwijk and Almere.

Dutch gyms with a pool are spread from Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Almere to Noordwijk on the coast and Dongen in Brabant, and none of the large budget chains is among them.

Compare the pool itself as well as the gym: length, water temperature and the hours set aside for lane swimming differ widely between a health club and a resort. Check whether swimming is included in the membership or sold as a separate subscription, and when the pool is busiest.
