Opening hours for indoor and outdoor pools 2022
Outdoor pool season starts on 7 and 14 May
This week, the school and sports committee provided information about the opening times of the town's indoor and outdoor pools this year. The Wittgensdorf outdoor pool season starts on Saturday, 7 May. The Einsiedel outdoor pool will follow a week later, on Saturday 14 May.
The Gablenz outdoor pool is expected to open on 11 June. As the work on the membrane roofing can only be carried out in certain weather conditions, it will open later this year. If the work is completed ahead of schedule, the pool can also open earlier.
The Bernsdorf outdoor pool will remain closed until probably the end of 2023 due to the construction of the new swimming complex.
The outdoor pools are open at the following times:
| 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. |
| 10am to 8pm |
| 11am to 6pm |
If the weather is exceptionally fine, the pool may stay open longer in the evening in the early and late season. The pool may also open earlier in the morning. This decision is made by the pool staff depending on the weather conditions and operational readiness.
During the main season, the outdoor pools in Wittgensdorf (Tuesdays) and Gablenz (Thursdays) offer early swimming from 9 am.
The outdoor pool season in Einsiedel and Wittgensdorf is scheduled to end with the summer holidays on 28 August. The Gablenz outdoor pool will remain open until 4 September. We reserve the right to close the outdoor pools early due to weather conditions.
During the outdoor pool season in the school holidays, maintenance and repair work will be carried out in the indoor pools, as is the case every year. Their annual closing times are preferably used for this purpose.

School swimming
Guaranteeing school swimming is a mandatory task for the city of Chemnitz. To this end, the opening and closing times of the indoor swimming pools for 2022 have already been discussed and agreed in advance with the State Office for Schools and Education and the school swimming centre.
Swimming clubs
In order to support the city's swimming clubs, which are restricted in their competition preparation due to the summer closing times of the indoor pools, and for the swimmers, whowho would also like to use an indoor pool during the summer school holidays, special opening times will also be offered in 2022 for public use and training. As things stand at present, the 50-metre hall will be open from 13 June to 7 August and the 25-metre hall from 8 to 28 August.
During the school holidays, clubs preparing for international competitions can apply for special training opportunities at specified times.
Swimming on public holidays
Stadtbad Chemnitz is also open on public holidays and special closing days. On these days, the pool is open to the public from 9 am to 3 pm. This offer has proved its worth in recent years.
