Water parks and pools

Water parks and pools in West Pomerania: from Szczecin's Fabryka Wody to hotel parks by the sea, twelve venues that work on a rainy day.

The category helps you pick a pool for a free day with the family, for weather that is no good for the beach, or for a seaside trip when the children need something to do. Besides big complexes, it includes municipal swimming pools and one wake park.

Which water park should you choose in and around Szczecin?

Szczecin has two places on this list: the year-round Fabryka Wody and the summer Arkonka. They are reached from different districts, and outside the city there are also Gryfino and Goleniów.

Aquapark "Fabryka Wody" stands at ulica 1 Maja 47 in Drzetowo-Grabowo. It has a water zone with 16 pools and six slides, an outdoor zone, a sauna and spa area, a sports zone with a lap pool, gym and climbing wall, and an educational centre, so it can fill a whole day. Arkonka in the Osów district is a complex with pools open from June to September, plus pitches and courts. Take tram line 3 to the Las Arkoński stop and walk about 200 metres.

In Gryfino, Aquapark Laguna w Gryfinie at ulica Wodnika 1 also houses a tourist information point and is the finish of two cycling routes. In Goleniów, Pływalnia Fala is an indoor pool with a 25 m sports pool, a learner pool, slides for children and saunas.

Which water parks are by the sea?

Hotel water parks stand in Międzyzdroje, Jarosławiec, Mrzeżyno and Darłówko. Most also admit guests from outside the hotel, in Jarosławiec during the summer holidays, so check the entry rules when planning.

Aquapark Międzyzdroje at the Aqua Resort hotel on ulica Bursztynowa 2 has five slides, a lazy river, three jacuzzis and a sauna zone, and outside guests can buy tickets. Aquapark Panorama Morska in Jarosławiec has about 1,700 m2 of water surface, ten slides and a steam-bath grotto. Aquapark Zalewski in Mrzeżyno offers six pools, among them a 25 m sports pool and a water playground with a jungle and a pirate ship for children. In Darłówko, Park Wodny JAN combines a pool, saunas and a bowling alley, and runs a swimming school.

Where can you swim in Koszalin, Kołobrzeg and Świdwin?

On the central coast and inland there are three large municipal venues, and Koszalin adds a fourth, specialised one. It is a good base when you want to swim regularly or keep children busy on a rainy day.

Park Wodny Koszalin at ulica Rekreacyjna 14 has six pools, two of them outdoors with one open all year, six slides and a sauna zone. In Kołobrzeg, Basen Milenium is a municipal sports centre complex at ulica Łopuskiego 38, with a 25 m sports pool, recreational pools, saunas and seating for 130. In Świdwin, Park Wodny "RELAX" has pools, hydromassage, a sauna, a slide and Figloland, with a bowling alley and tennis courts next door.

Water fun of a different kind: wakeboarding in Koszalin

Wakepark Koszalin at ulica Sybiraków is a cable wakeboard lift with rental of SUP boards, pedal boats and kayaks, and a wake bar. A session lasts 15 minutes, and for children there is an inflatable slide and a tube towed behind the lift.

What else should you plan for a trip with children?

A pool combines well with another stop in the day: a walk, a museum or indoor entertainment. You will find ideas in the articles and in neighbouring categories.

An overview of the venues is in Aquaparki i baseny regionu: od Szczecina po Darłowo (water parks and pools of the region), a family plan for the city in Szczecin z dzieckiem: baseny, wspinaczka, muzea interaktywne i parki, and a route to the coast in Weekend w Kołobrzegu i Koszalinie: twierdza, muzea i park wodny.
