Berlin's swimming pools boast glamour and grandeur, but in the Fennpfuhl district of Lichtenberg, the Anton-Saefkow-Platz swimming hall proves that good swim training doesn't need a grand staircase. Clear lanes, clean water, and GDR architecture as a backdrop: here, the essentials matter.

Anton-Saefkow-Platz Swimming Hall: Classic Indoor Pool with Substance

The Anton-Saefkow-Platz swimming hall was opened in 1981 as part of the then-new residential area of Fennpfuhl, making it one of the solid public swimming pools that have kept Berlin active for decades. Like other typical public swimming halls of the 1980s, it offers a swimmer’s pool with five 25-meter lanes and a non-swimmer’s pool. Those who regularly swim laps will find everything they need here. The water has a comfortable temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.

Facilities also include a roped lane for competitive swimmers and a non-swimmer’s pool with a slide. This means both ambitious recreational athletes and families with children will find something to enjoy. The indoor pool is also equipped for people with disabilities, with appropriate changing rooms, showers, and toilets.

Sauna, Courses, and Practical Information

In addition to the pools, a dry sauna with a relaxation room is also available. This is certainly not a bad option after a long swimming session. The sports offerings also include swimming lessons for children and aqua fitness courses. Those who come regularly benefit from the Berliner Bäderbetriebe (Berlin Bathing Facilities) subscription model: frequent swimmers pay from 23 Euros monthly.

Public swimming usually takes place parallel to school and club swimming, but on Sundays, the entire pool is available for public swimming. Getting there is easy by tram: the pool is well-accessible by public transport, only about a 5-minute walk from the tram stops Landsberger Allee/Weißenseer Weg or Judith-Auer-Straße. For those arriving by car: there are plenty of parking spaces directly in front of the indoor pool.
