The best swimming pools Basel

Since 1934, the Rialto public swimming pool, the only one of its kind in Basel, has been offering relaxation and well-being. Evolving into an aquatic sanctuary combining tradition and innovation, it offers two pools, a diving board, a wellness area and even a restaurant. The sauna is reserved exclusively for women on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Open all week, the pool is very popular at weekends, so it's best to opt for the evening sessions. Please note: not suitable for children who cannot swim. Please note: scheduled to reopen in September 2024 after major renovation.
