Gräfenhainichen public swimming pool: finally open again!

The public swimming pool in Gräfenhainichen opens its doors to the public again today, August 11, 2025. After six weeks of intensive maintenance work, during which the water in the pools was completely replaced and various repair and cleaning measures were carried out, visitors can now swim their laps again. The new opening hours are daily from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.

During the closure period, not only the swimmers' pool, but also the non-swimmers' and paddling pools were thoroughly cleaned. The city of Gräfenhainichen stuck to a tight schedule; Changing the water was the most time-consuming measure. In the showers, the joints in the tile backsplash were repaired and the drinking water pipe to the surge water tank was replaced, as graefenhainichen.de reports.

New amenities and school swimming

Particularly worth mentioning are the two new seats in the steam room and the new heated benches on the window front, which are intended to increase the comfort of visitors. School swimming for the region's primary schools also begins today. This also further promotes the swimming training of the youngest children.

Apart from the regular opening hours, there is a special reason to be happy in September: the first big water toy day with Bobby the inflatable dinosaur takes place on September 28th. A great opportunity to make visiting the swimming pool particularly attractive for families with children.

Important information and legal requirements

Water hygiene is the focus of efforts in the swimming pool. The continuous treatment and disinfection of the water ensures that microorganisms, including potential pathogens, are quickly killed. This is crucial to enable high visitor numbers in relatively small pools without creating health risks. The [Umweltbundesamt](https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/themen/wasser/schwimmen-baden/schwimm-bade Becken) reports on the requirements for water quality and the legal requirements to ensure the health of bathers.

According to the Infection Protection Act, swimming and bathing pools must be designed in such a way that there is no risk of health risks. Health authority departments are responsible for checking and monitoring the pools. This ensures the quality of bathing pleasure in Gräfenhainichen.

The swimming pool will be closed on August 23rd and 24th due to the city festival. A operational rest day is also planned for August 29th. Current information about the swimming pool is always on the official website www. Schwimmhalle-graefenhainichen.de to find.
