No, if you're not swimming but just shopping at the kiosk, you don't have to pay an entrance fee.


Are there changing rooms?
Yes there are separate changing rooms for men and women with two showers each. Remember that you must always shower before jumping in the pool!


Can I bring my dog?
Dogs must stay outside the gates. There is a large grassy area with trees that provide shade.


Is there space for recreational swimmers?
Yes. One long side of the 25-meter pool is normally set aside for recreational swimming. If you need more space, it can be smart to come when the weather is poor. If you swim for exercise, the weather may not matter anyway.

Absolutely! The water is heated and the trees around the pool protect from wind. The kiosk offers hot coffee and toast. The exception is in the case of lightning. Then no one is allowed in the pool.


Is there anything else to do besides swimming?
Yes, in the kiosk you can borrow badminton sets, blocks and boules. There is a pétanque court right outside the pool which is free to borrow.


Who runs the facility?
Tomelilla municipality together with us in Föreningen Eljarödsbadet. We are responsible for the kiosk, cleaning, maintenance of  green areas and more. The municipality is responsible for the lifeguards, the pool, swimming school, water quality, buildings, entry fees and opening hours.


Can I swim outside opening hours?
No, it´s not allowed. Outside opening hours, there is no one who can guarantee safety and order. The municipality has hired a security company that looks after the bath from time to time during the evenings and nights. But please visit our evening swim Wednesday evenings.

About us

In 1940, the residents of Eljaröd gathered for the grand opening of the new swimming pool. It had been built by the villagers themselves with manual labor and contributions from people in the area. 80 years later there was again a gathering in Eljaröd. Tomelilla municipality had decided that they would not invest more money in the bath. So "Föreningen Eljarödsbadet" was formed to fight for the survival of the bath.
