Good infrastructures (one of the two 50m indoor pools in town); the pool looks great after its renovation. Zurich has a culture of Swimming pool and this one makes not exception. Staff is in general friendly.
However, mind the following aspects:
Firstly, it is overly crowded. Week or weekend, avoid peak hours by all means. Worst time, during the week from 5-7, when lanes are even reserved for clubs. Nightmarish.
Secondly, it is a freak show. It includes: the peeping toms in the showers, watching the sausage festival for hours (imagine naked creeps staying in the shower for ages to watch what comes around), but also folks with questionable hygiene manners (fortunately, now it is explicitly written that one should not shave in the showers) and the odd combination of dads and young girls (yes, in the men's lockers) exposing them to the sausage festival so loved by peeping toms.
All in one, if you want to Swim, go ahead. If you're looking for a leisurely experience, think twice. read more
