Facilities
Vossabadet has something for everyone.
25m swimming pool
We are proud to have a 25m swimming pool that meets competition standards at Voss. The pool can be divided into 6 lanes.
The start blocks on the short-side of the pool is equipped with technology for time-taking and competitions.
We have a lift for those in need of personal assistance and the disabled, for access to the swimming pool.
You are always welcome to take a swim in Vossabadet during opening hours. There will be at least 2 lanes in the 25m pool dedicated to our guests, even if other activities are going on.
Please note: Not all swimmers swim equally well and fast. We have dedicated lanes for fast-exercise swimming and slow-exercise swimming, as well as a dedicated area for recreational swimming. To ensure a good experience and a proper flow in the swimming lanes, we ask you to respect the signs and dedicated lanes.
In the swimming lanes we practice right-hand swimming. Keep to the right in the lane, and you will avoid collisions.
Temperature
The temperature in the 25m pool will be a steady 28 degrees celsius.

The depth will gradually go from 1 meter (in the south) to 1,6 meters (in the north). 1,6 meters is not deep, so please be careful if you dive from the start blocks.

Diving pool
We have a dedicated pool for diving from the diving-tower.
"This is the smartest move you did when building Vossabadet", says everyone with experience combining diving- and competition swimming pools. The diving tower and the springboards will never be closed at Vossabadet! The 1m and 3m diving boards are springboards.
To ensure safety and a good flow, we recommend following the instructions for swimming directions after diving. For the 1m, swim to the left. For the 3m swim straight forward and the 5m, swim to the right before exiting the pool.

The diving pool will have a temperature of 28 degrees celsius.

The diving pool is 3,85 meters deep.
