Nordbad

Nordbad is a public swimming facility in Dortmund with multiple pools of different sizes and purposes. The complex includes a lap pool for training, a diving pool with varying heights, and a salt pool for leisure, plus dedicated areas designed for parents with young children.

The facility was built during the post-war period and developed into an important sports venue in Dortmund's northern district. Over the decades, the complex underwent several updates to meet changing visitor needs and safety standards.

The name refers to its northern location, and visitors find open pool areas designed as gathering spaces where people spend time together and meet neighbors.

The facility is easily accessible by public transport and welcomes visitors of different swimming levels, from beginners to experienced swimmers. Guests should check opening hours in advance, as times vary by day and certain hours may be reserved for training groups.

A dedicated area with shallow pools maintains pleasantly warm water specifically designed for the youngest visitors. This separate zone allows small children and their parents to safely make their first water experiences.
