03/11/2026: The Gong was a good moment Thank you 🕉

19/10/2026: You get what you pay for – and that shouldn't be forgotten when reviewing the pool. We had a lovely few hours at the IKAST Swimming Center today. For one adult and one child, we paid the equivalent of €15 for entry. Including lunch (because you're not allowed to bring anything in), the total came to €30. Free parking and free swimming and play equipment for children were included. Where else can you get that? What's striking is how seriously hygiene and rules are taken. My son was asked if he had a swim diaper, while showering, the other women reminded me to thoroughly wash both my body AND hair, and the no-mobile-phone rule is strictly enforced. Unusual? Perhaps. But hygiene in a swimming pool is nothing new. And in this case, it might even save on chlorine. Who knows? Yes, the pool is showing its age, and the children's area is rather small. But: It's a swimming and training center, not a water park with slides. Perhaps expectations should be adjusted accordingly. And the complaints about the lack of signage in multiple languages? We're in Denmark. In how many small German towns is the swimming pool signposted in more than just German? At least you can get by with English here... And as for the tone of some lifeguards: not all of them are known for their gentle approach, even in Germany. 😉 Our conclusion: We had a lovely day for a small price. Considering what was offered, I find many of the negative comments simply exaggerated.
