Schwimm- und Sporthalle im Europapark

Approach the SSE from Volkspark Friedrichshain to the west, and you would never even know it was there. Almost completely sunk into a raised landscape covered in wild flowers, this magnificent venue reveals its true scale from the direct connection to the S-Bahn on the other side. Not one but two 50-metre swimming pools, a junior fun pool and an Olympic-standard diving pool make the SSE the largest swimming facility in Europe, with a total water surface area of 3,391 m². Designed by French architect Dominique Perrault for Berlin's application to host the Olympic Games in 2000, the main competition pool water is known among the swimming community to be ‘fast’.
