Meerbusch-Lank's therapy pool reopens after major modernisation efforts

The therapy pool at St. Elisabeth Hospital in Meerbusch-Lank has officially reopened after extensive renovations. Built in 1995, the 12-metre-long facility now features modernised technical systems and a water surface of 72 square metres. Its return has been warmly welcomed by the local community, who see it as a vital resource for health and movement. The pool’s revival was made possible through a mix of public donations and the hospital’s own funding. In 2015, its technical infrastructure underwent a full upgrade, ensuring it meets current standards. With depths ranging from 1.25 to 1.65 metres, the space is ideal for small-group sessions and tailored aquatic therapy.

New courses have now launched, catering to all ages. Swim school *swim2grow* is offering lessons for babies, children, and adults, alongside aqua fitness classes. Julia Held, the hospital’s commercial director, emphasised the pool’s role in promoting movement and well-being. Those interested in joining can find full details and sign up via the swim school’s website at [www.swim2grow.de/meerbusch](http://www.swim2grow.de/meerbusch). The hospital continues to depend on donations to cover operating costs and future upkeep.

The reopening marks a key moment for Meerbusch-Lank, restoring access to aquatic therapy and fitness. With updated facilities and expanded programmes, the pool is set to serve the community for years to come. Ongoing support will remain essential to sustain its operation.
