Before the craftsmen take over at GalaxSea for an estimated one and a half years, the pool will once again transform into a large event location. The day-long program from 10 AM to 10 PM offers highlights for various age groups. In addition to activities in the adventure pool, offerings in the outdoor area are planned. A mini-disco will be organized specifically for the youngest guests.
As evening approaches, the atmosphere in the swimming hall will change. Local DJs will provide musical accompaniment in both the pool area and the sauna landscape. Sauna-goers can also look forward to additional infusions and special offers on the final day.
Comprehensive Modernization Starting in June
From Tuesday, June 2, 2026, the pool will remain completely closed to the public. Jenaer Bäder is planning a fundamental modernization of the aging facilities. According to current plans, the reopening of the fully renovated leisure pool is scheduled for the end of 2027.
Background: Swimming in Jena During the Construction Phase
The GalaxSea leisure pool in the Lobeda-West district has been one of the most important sporting and family hubs in the city of Jena since its opening. With the upcoming major renovation, the operating company is responding to age-related wear and tear of the technology and increased energy requirements for modern large-scale pools. During the planned closure of approximately 18 months, clubs, schools, and private swimmers must switch to alternative water surfaces. For this purpose, the Südbad at Schleichersee will be primarily available during the summer months, while the neighboring swimming hall in Lobeda-West will handle the majority of indoor swimming activities.
