Swimming in the heart of the district

The Duisburg inner harbor shows itself in its sportiest form. Between the marina, modern architecture, and the vibrant promenade, a place is created where movement and summer feeling intertwine. The harbor basin is up to 3.70 meters deep and is therefore aimed at safe swimmers. Water quality is regularly monitored and meets the applicable standards.

More than a bathing place: Participation offers and clear rules

On-site changing rooms, lockers, and a toilet trailer ensure functional proceedings. Additionally, various sports and participation offers have been announced during the runtime, further enhancing DuisPool beyond just swimming. Dogs are not allowed in the area of the offer, and showers are not available. Thus, the experience remains deliberately reduced but focused: jump into the water, get away from everyday life.
