As to the staff here and the facility I would definitively give the Hallenbad Fohrbach 5 out of 4…read morestars. The food is good and they have loads of sweets for the kids. I used to love coming here as a kid since there are 3 water slides that make this trip unforgettable. Nowadays I come to swim or just to relax in the hot tub. The only negative thing I have noticed when comparing this indoor pool with others I find this one not always super hygenic. But then again which pool really is..?

I don't come that often here because this one is really difficult for me to commute to. If I would…read morelive in Oerlikon I think I would only go to this one. It has 50 m lanes and really enough lanes. It get crowded at noon and afterwork. During day it is fine (still a lot of people) - you have enough space to swim. It also has a sauna but I never checked it out. Tip: 5 Sfr locker !

There is a big time clock, where you plus / minus see, how long you had for one lenght or 500metres or 1km or 2km. However which distance you like to swim. There is a restaurant too and the bus station is directly in front of the swim area indoor and outdoor. check it out ...

I am a big fan of Oberer Letten. You can find me almost daily here when the sun is shinning…read more Oberer Letten as 2 sides where you can hang out. The right side (with your back towards the city) is the most hip place. Here you have a nice bar with sometimes night events. You find a more young audience. You can play Volleyball and here are a lot of kids also skating. The food is good. You have to try for sure the burgers. The left side of the river you also have a bar. and a private section only for women to bath. at this side you also have the life guards, dressing rooms and showers. There are small lockers and bigger ones. The bar lost a bit of his charms after the renovation last year. They are slow to prepare the food (last time I had to wait 20 minutes for french fries - it was a weekday, so not too much people around). Lets hope that this year they improved there services :) If you have something to inflate, there is a pump close to the lockers. It is very useful if you have a boat to inflate :) This is for me a very nice place in Kreis 5 - it is very local, you don't have the tourists from the lake and you can swim, drink and eat !

I've only been on the one side (the right side, with your back towards the city, thanks Sebastien). I loved the little restaurant because it has a nice shaded patio and across the walkway you can sit closer to the water and they provide quite a bit of seating. The place has a pretty hip and alternative feel, and I always dig that because it reminds me of Austin! The graffiti is even pretty. The beer prices were good, and the focaccia bread was delicious and pretty big. Personally, I'm not a big fan of sunbathing here. It's so packed and there isn't any grass! For me, it's not so relaxing, but I'd come with friends for having some fun. Otherwise, I prefer Rentenwiese, less people, quite, and relaxing.

The lanes are only 25 m (pity because I prefer 50 m :) ) You can lie outside when the sun is there. During the weekend the swimming pool can be crowded !! During the week it gets a bit crowded after work. But during the day it is perfectly fine. Not too much people. A downside for me, it is a bit far from where a live. But you can go with tram 2 to it.

They have grill stations to use for free with desks to sit, two table tennis stations and a volleyball field at the other side of the lido. There is place to find shadow and they serve menus in the restaurant and they have a Kiosk too. The facility is in good shape. I like this place and the food is good. If you do not have big appetite, you can buy a 1/2 menu. It was big enough for me. Place to park your car could be a little bit difficult.

Ok, I came for my first lunch swim today, and NOW I know what all the hype is about. The left side…read moreis only for women, and the right side is co-ed. CHF 7 lets you in... but we got discount tickets at CHF 3 from my company. :) The bar sells food and drinks, or you can bring your own picnic. A free pitcher of water with plastic cups was laid out on a small table. There is a changing room to hang your clothes, and we laid out our towels in the last bit of shade. No one except little fish actually swim in the little square of water in the middle of the platform. We went out into the lake and swam to one of the floating platforms. The water was a bit chilly at first, but it was a nice contrast to the hot sun. Afterwards, we rinsed off at the outdoor shower and then laid out in the sun to dry before heading back to the office. What a fabulous way to spend lunch! :)

The lanes are 50 meter long ( what I prefer instead of 25 m). It is very well renovated. But a bit disappointed that it is overwhelming WOOOWW-architecture. And it took very long to renovate it... Appart from that I only gave 3 stars because it has limited lanes and it is always crowded. I tried 9:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00. I don't even dare to go in the evening after work ;) As all swimmingpools in Switzerland it is 1 big fitting room. So don't be to ashamed! Worth a visit, but don't forget 5 sfr for the lockers (they can not give you a coin). PS: Not really made for kids.

Finally the city pool is open! Dont go during the week at 18 o' clock, really full!…read more Better durig lunch, like from 12 to 13. Still a lot of people, but you can swim at least!
