Olympic Swimming Pool
All the Olympic swimming and diving competitions and finals in water ball games were held in the Olympic Swimming Pentre. In the "fasted water of the world" (as experts called it) the American swimmer Mark Spitz won his seven gold medals and became an unmatched Olympic legendary figure.
Now it holds German championships, Olympic qualification races and daily training for Munich swimming clubs.
This swimming centre with five pools is a successful combination of serious sports requirements and leisure-oriented utilization. While families enjoy bathing and paddling, more athletic swimmers are also catered for in the 50 m competition pool in the Olympic swimming centre. If you like heights, you can dare to jump from the 10 metre diving board with its five platforms or from one of the seven springboards.
And if you simply want to relax, then you'll enjoy the whirlpool, sauna and solarium. There are plenty of water activities to choose from: children's games, aqua games, aquagymnastics, massage, snorkeling, aquajogging and a gym. In summer, the leisure sports programme, which is free for visitors to the swimming centre, is extended to include the 13,500 square metres of sunbathing lawn. This is for stretching, endurance training, aerobics, fitness gymnastics or just simply sunbathing.
