Halmstad Arena Baths

In the adventure pool, water slides, a water pistes, water chutes, and whirlpool areas are waiting to attract bathers. For the youngest children there is a separate children's section and there are activity pools for fitness swimming and diving. There is an in-house wellness area with a gym and café under the same roof. In addition, the baths have a wellness area with a gym and a café.

The water in the adventure pool is at a comfortable temperature of 30ºC and the pools are 0-1.4 metres deep. The adventure pool also has a children's section with a mini-slide, splashing areas, floating toys and an umbrella. It’s noticeable here that the theme is “Halmstad”, with the salmon figures squirting water and the “Nissan” flowing into the large pool.

Relaxation and diving

If you need a break from all the playing and fun, take a moment to relax in the 37ºC water in the whirlpool. If you’re here on a Thursday evening, you can enjoy adults’ evening swimming. If you're hungry for a bit more adventure, try springboard diving from one metre or dive from the high board three metres up. You’ll land in 30ºC water, in a 3.8-metre-deep pool.

Exercise and lessons

The bath house also has a 25-metre exercise pool with eight lanes. It’s slightly cooler here – 28ºC in the water and an air temperature of approximately 29ºC. The warmer activity pool, 32ºC, is mainly used for swimming lessons and rehab training, but is sometimes open to the public. The bottom of the activity pool is height adjustable and can range from 0-165 cm.
