UKPulse Consumer Desk
A new public swimming pool called Kai is opening in Copenhagen's harbour, featuring ten pools and a sustainable heat pump system.
- Kai is a 62,500-square-foot 'water culture house' with 10 indoor and outdoor pools.
- The building was designed by Japanese architecture practice Kengo Kuma Associates and took eight years to complete.
- Tickets are expected to be around £7.50, similar to other local city-run swimming pools.
Copenhagen is a swimmer's city, with a long history of public swimming facilities. The new Kai bathhouse is located on Paper Island, which was previously an empty space and has been redeveloped into a hub for restaurants, cafes, and hospitality businesses.
The building features a 25-metre pool on the ground floor and several levels of pools, including an open-air rooftop pool and a heated onsen overlooking Copenhagen Harbour.
What this means for you: If you plan to visit Copenhagen, you may be able to take advantage of the new swimming facilities, which are expected to be affordable and accessible.
