A collaborative guide to Berlin.
Berlin’s pools (Stadtbäder) seem to be in perpetual financial trouble, and some seem to be closed more often then open. Visit the nicer ones, like the Stadtbad Mitte on Gartenstrasse, and you’ll see why: expensive and complex electronic turnstiles, good showers and lockers, and pretty renovation throughout. If you’re a lap swimmer, keep in mind that although you might see lane markers, they will mean little to children and adults who want to play around in the pool. They might also mean little to other German lap swimmers, who find difficult the concepts of swimming on the right side of the lane and avoiding collisions.
