New Swimming Hall in Simmeringer Bad Opens Lanes

The centerpiece of the new swimming hall is a 25 x 12.5 meter sports pool. The ancillary facilities have been connected to the existing building via two connecting bridges, where the barrier-free main entrance for both halls is also located.

New Swimming Hall in Simmeringer Bad with Modern Pool Water Technology and PV System

The entrance area, changing rooms, and sanitary facilities in the existing building have been adapted, and additional lounging areas have been created. Modern pool water technology enables resource-efficient operation. The facade and roof are greened, and a photovoltaic system with 100 kWp output covers part of the electricity needs. "This is what climate-friendly swimming looks like," says Vienna's Climate and Pool City Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky about the new swimming hall in Simmeringer Bad.

"The bathing culture is deeply rooted in Vienna and has greatly improved our quality of life over the past decades. With our pool construction program, we want to ensure not only more but also higher quality bathing enjoyment. The new hall in Simmering now offers more space for swimming enthusiasts and, thanks to its environmentally friendly construction, makes an important contribution to climate protection and thus to maintaining our quality of life," Czernohorszky continues.

Schools and swimming clubs each receive 3 additional training times, and additional swimming times are also offered to bathers. As a result, the new hall can be used every Sunday, and on Mondays, a swimming time on lanes for sports enthusiasts is offered from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. In the existing swimming hall, there are now additional swimming times in the morning and evening.
