- New swimming pool hall & outdoor swimming pool ( 2026 - ).
- The new swimming pool hall has no recreation pool, it's just a simple lap pool and an additional instruction pool. Staff members told me in 2024-06, that in addition to the original planning there will be a tube slide and a section for small children too.
- The new swimming pool hall will be implemented directly next to the old dome hall and the existing outdoor swimming pool. So the old dome hall may be operated until the new swimming pool hall is opened.
- When the new swimming pool hall is ready, both the old recreation pool hall, the old lap pool and the old swimming pool hall “Het Slagman” will be closed permanently. The existing outdoor swimming pool will be operated again.

- “Das Wasser ist viel zu kalt. Sogar die Whirpools sind kalt. Wenn man bei den Rutschen vorbei geht zieht es sehr stark. Alles alt und in die Jahre gekommen. Zu wenig duschen und auch da nur kaltes Wasser. Snacks und Getränke konnte man auch nicht kaufen. Die Automaten waren wohl defekt” ( 3m ago ).

- “Das Aquadrome Enschede ist ein reines Erlebnisbad, Sportler müssen auf ein Sportbecken in der separat zugänglichen Schwimmhalle ausweichen, ein Wechsel direkt vom Erlebnisbad ist nicht vorgesehen”.
- “Zentrales Becken ist das große
Wellen- undErlebnisbecken, das den Großteil des Platzes in der Schwimmhalle für sich beansprucht”. - ”
Für die Entspannung und das warme Bad zwischendurch gibt es die in den Niederlanden weit verbreiteten Badewannen, die grundsätzlich erst einmal leer sind. Die Befüllung erfolgt erst nach Bezahlung an einem Automaten. Dafür hat man die Sprudelwanne dann aber auch für sich alleine und kann die Ruhe genießen - zumindest so lange, bis das Wasser wieder abläuft”.
- “Das Aquadrome Enschede besteht aus einer großen Schwimmhalle, welche annähernd rund und mit einem pavillionartigem Dach versehen ist. Hier befindet sich das zentrale Becken des Bades, das große

- “ENSCHEDE – Er ligt een aangepast rapport over de toekomst van zwembad Het Slagman bij de gemeente op tafel. Renovatie van het 33 jaar oude overdekte zwembad wordt onwenselijk gevonden. Alle investeringen verhinderen niet dat er sprake blijft van een gedateerd zwembad. Nieuwbouw heeft dan ook de uitdrukkelijke voorkeur en daarbij kijkt eigenaar NV Enschedese Zwembaden naar een plek bij het Aquadrome aan de Van Deinselaan”.
- “De ligging van sportbad Het Slagman aan de rand van Park de Kotten is wel schitterend. Dat is onomstreden. De staat waarin het in 1976 gebouwde overdekte zwembad verkeert is van een heel andere orde. De accommodatie heeft onlangs weliswaar een likje verf gekregen zodat ze nog enigszins toonbaar is, het kan niet verhullen dat het bad sterk verouderd is”.
-
- “Das neue Bad sollte zunächst Aquadrome, Het Slagman und das jetzt geschlossene De Brug bis 2023 ersetzen”.
-
- “Over een nieuw zwembad dat het ruim 30 jaar oude Aquadrome moet vervangen wordt al sinds 2017 gedebatteerd”.
- “Het andere gemeentelijke zwembad, Het Slagman in Enschede-Noord, wordt in 2028 gesloten”.
-
- “Met name de PVV en het CDA, maar ook GroenLinks, hebben zich altijd verbaasd over het verdwijnen van het recreatiebad”.
- “Een investering die kan oplopen tot 32 miljoen euro voor twee rechttoe rechtaan zwembaden (instructiebad en sportbad) vinden zij simpelweg te veel geld. SP-raadslid Piet van Ek: “In Haaksbergen wordt voor de vervanging van De Wilder gesproken over 21 miljoen euro voor een subtropisch bad”

Die Christophorus- und die Nütterdener St.-Georg-Grundschule nutzten dafür das Schwimmbad Lubert in Groesbeek. Doch damit wird spätestens ab dem 1. Januar 2026 Schluss sein... Das Bad wird definitiv schließen. Was danach kommt, ist nicht geklärt. Die Politik der Gemeinde Berg en Daal hält sich vier verschiedene Möglichkeiten offen, wie mit dem Schwimmbad verfahren wird. Die Entscheidung dazu soll im Frühjahr getroffen werden. 50 Jahre ist das Bad mittlerweile alt und extrem sanierungsbedürftig. Unter anderem hat Chlor der Technik zugesetzt. Die vier Möglichkeiten sind: Renovierung, Abriss und Neubau oder ein Neubau, der dann in einen größeren Komplex eingebettet wird. Vierte Option: Bagger und Ende”.
