Swimming in Nieuwegein

Discover all our swimming facilities

With a central location in the Utrecht region, Merwestein lets you go in any direction you like — especially when it comes to swimming.

Come and train or swim lengths in our 25-metre pools, or enjoy recreational swimming with our wave pool, seven slides, diving boards, rapids and water fountains. For our youngest visitors there are safe toddler pools. Fancy a moment to unwind? Relax in a bubble bath or take it easy on the loungers.

We also offer a wide range of swimming lessons following the official Zwem-ABC, lessons for specific groups and special programmes – including a pool chairlift – so that swimming really is accessible to everyone.
