“Aufgrund des Betreiberwechsels des Pica Mare Schwimmbads können die aktuellen Preise hier noch nicht genannt werden, werden dies aber schnellstmöglich tun”.
“Unser Verein wurde 1990 von einer festen Gruppe von Saunabesuchern gegründet. Es entstand die Idee, das Schwimmbad Pica Mare privat zu mieten, um ein paar Stunden FKK-Schwimmen zu organisieren”.
“Nach der Gründung war es schnell klar, dass eine Sauna nicht reichen würde. So hat den Verein selbst die zweite Sauna und darüber hinaus auch den Picoplatz mit Dusche und Kneippbecken gebaut”.
“Gegenüber dem Kinderpool finden Sie den Whirlpool mit zwei Bräunungsbetten links und einer Reihe von Dampfkabinen rechts. Diese Dampfkabinen können kostenlos für Besucher von Pica Mare genutzt werden”.

GennepNews "Koninklijke Sportfondsen neemt het roer over", 2024-09 - “Per 1 oktober 2024 verandert er veel voor de sportaccommodaties in Gennep. Vebego draagt de exploitatie over aan Koninklijke Sportfondsen. Dit betekent dat het zwembad, de sporthallen en gymzalen in andere handen zijn”.
Vebego, Vebego Facility Solutions - “In Nederland is Vebego actief in vier segmenten; schoonmaak, facility management, groenvoorziening en zorg”.
“Gennep heeft grote plannen voor de sportvoorzieningen. Het zwembad, de evenementenzaal en de sporthal kunnen een compleet nieuwe plek krijgen. In het zojuist gepresenteerde plan op de raadsinformatiebijeenkomst van 31 maart 2025 wordt de Stiemensweg/Randweg genoemd als mogelijke locatie. Waarom deze plannen? Simpel: verouderde sportaccommodaties en een kans om Gennep een flinke upgrade te geven. Een verhuizing biedt mogelijkheden om nieuwe en betere faciliteiten te bouwen én meer woningen te realiseren”.
