Restricted use for children, families and non-swimmers in the Fächerbad Karlsruhe
Due to extensive renovation work on the roof structure and the façade of the 50-metre hall, there are currently considerable restrictions on swimming at the Fächerbad Karlsruhe. Children, families and non-swimmers are particularly affected, as both the multi-purpose pool and the outdoor pool are currently out of service. During the current construction phase, there is therefore no suitable bathing area available for these user groups.
14 December: Convertible pool closed due to event
From 5 to 7 December 2025, the Fächerbad Karlsruhe will once again be transformed into an impressive arena for swimming when the 58th Karlsruhe International Swimming Days take place. Organised by Sport- und Schwimmclub Karlsruhe e.V., this prestigious sporting event attracts numerous participants and spectators from all over Germany and promises exciting and high-class competitions. In order to offer the swimmers optimal conditions and ensure that the competitions run smoothly, the sports pool will be closed to the public from 5 to 7 December 2025. The sauna area of the Fächerbad will also not be available during the entire event. Bathing and sauna guests are asked for their understanding. Despite the closures, everyone involved is invited to be part of this sporting event and watch the competitions as spectators. The 58th International Swimming Days Karlsruhe offer a unique experience not only for the participants, but also for the visitors
