Eriksdalsbadet

Eriksdalsbadet is Stockholm’s municipal swimming and sports complex at Hammarby Slussväg 20, beside Årstaviken in Eriksdal on Södermalm, near Skanstull. The present indoor facility opened on 11 June 1999, designed by Erséus Frenning & Sjögren Arkitekter with Björn Thyberger as responsible architect; the site had already been used as an outdoor bath since 1929 and gained an indoor facility in 1964. It is Sweden’s national arena for aquatic sports, with a 50-metre competition pool, a 25-metre pool with diving facilities, spectator seating, a gym, children’s areas, water slides, and seasonal outdoor pools. Regular indoor opening hours are Monday through Thursday from 06:00 to 21:00, Friday from 06:00 to 20:00, Saturday from 08:00 to 18:00, and Sunday from 08:00 to 20:00, although public access can change during competitions or maintenance.
