Wiesental Aquatic Centre, Bochum
The beautifully situated Wiesental outdoor pool in Bochum is the home of SV Blau-Weiß Bochum, one of the largest swimming clubs in Germany.
The new 50-meter Myrtha pool replaces an outdated liner pool and it was introduced in the summer of 2021. Now all the citizens of Bochum and local water polo club have a state-of-the art pool for both competitions and trainings.
The Wiesental outdoor pool was first opened in 1950. Originally, only a 25-meter pool was planned and approved, but energetic club members spontaneously built a 50-meter pool instead. That fateful choice turned out to be crucial, as this large pool was and is the decisive factor behind the ongoing success of SV Blau-Weiß Bochum, both in fitness and competitive sports.
The competition pool is the heart of the facility. Since 2013 it has been covered with an inflated dome in winter, and since summer 2021 it has featured the wonderfully updated Myrtha Pools vessel. It is used for both competitive and popular sports.
In addition, the aquatic centre offers, a sun terrace that is used as a grandstand during meets, a playground, a beach volleyball field and a small gym and wellness area. The setting is completed by first-class amenities including changing rooms, and spaces for administration, maintenance and food services
