Schwaketenbad

Schwaketenbad is the indoor leisure bath of Konstanz, run by the city's bath operator alongside the Bodensee-Therme and the Rheinstrandbad; the operator calls it "das größte Freizeitbad am Bodensee" and describes it as more than a Hallenbad. The bath holds six different pools; the operator names a sports area for lane swimming, a diving pool with a tower from which guests jump from five metres, a non-swimmer pool with a small slide, and a large children's area with a water playground for toddlers. The whole building is described as barrier-free, with the bath's own wheelchairs and a pool lift for getting into the water.

The two big slides are named Uris and Ried and run through tube courses with light effects. The operator gives the two lengths, about 100 m and 123 m, but pairs them with the names inconsistently: in one account Uris is the 100-metre slide and Ried the 123-metre one; in the other Uris is the 123-metre tyre slide through a blue tube and Ried, the green tube on which up to three people can ride side by side, is just under 100 metres. Uris has a minimum age of 8, or 6 accompanied by an adult; Ried has a minimum age of 8.

The relaxation area is a steam bath and an infrared room, not a sauna world. The steam bath reaches an interior temperature of 45 °C at 100 percent humidity, with a recommended stay of 10 to 20 minutes. For thermal pools and a textile-free sauna landscape the operator refers guests to its partner venue, the Bodensee-Therme Konstanz; those belong to that separate bath, not to Schwaketenbad. Catering is by the Restaurant Tabor inside the building. Water gymnastics runs Tuesday to Thursday at 8:00 and 8:30.

The bath is open all year: Monday 9:00 to 21:00, Tuesday to Thursday 7:00 to 21:00, Friday and Saturday 9:00 to 21:00, Sundays and public holidays 9:00 to 20:00, with the till and admission closing an hour before and the pools cleared 20 minutes before closing.
